The dreaming Prinest1牧師做夢(mèng)

浙江省紹興市張祖平供稿

Long time ago there lived a priest who was very lazy and poor.He did not want to do any hard work but used to dream of being rich one day.He got his food from others.One morning he got a pot of milk.He was very happy and went home with the milk.He boiled the milk，drank some of it and put the remaining milk in a pot.

很久以前，這里住著一位牧師，他又懶又窮。他不想干任何累活，但是他曾夢(mèng)想有朝一日變得富有。他靠別人的施舍得到食物。一天，別人施舍給他一壺牛奶。牧師非常高興，他帶著牛奶回家了。他煮了牛奶，喝了一些，把剩余的牛奶放在一個(gè)壺里。

Soon he started imagining about the pot of milk while he lay asleep.He dreamed that if he could become rich，all his hardships would be gone.He dreamed on，“Tomorrow morning the pot of milk would be turned into curd2.I would make butter from it，and heat the butter and make ghee3out of it.I will then go to that market and sell that ghee，and make some money.With that money I will buy a hen4.The hen will lay may eggs which will hatch5and there will be many chickens.These chickens will in turn lay hundreds of eggs and I will soon have a poultry6farm of my own.”

躺下睡著后，牧師很快開始想象那一壺牛奶。他夢(mèng)想著：如果他有錢了，所有的苦難都會(huì)煙消云散。他接著夢(mèng)到：“明天早上，牛奶將變成凝乳，我把凝乳做成黃油，再加熱黃油做成酥油。然后，我去集市上把酥油賣掉賺回一些錢。我用那些錢買回一只母雞。母雞可能會(huì)下蛋，然后孵化出很多小雞，這些小雞以后也會(huì)下許多雞蛋，我將很快擁有自己的雞場(chǎng)。”

“I will sell all the hens and buy some cows，and open a milk dairy7.All the town people will buy milk from me.I will be very rich and soon I shall buy jewels.The king will buy all the jewels from me.I will be so rich that I will be able to marry a beautiful girl from a rich family. Soon I will have a handsome son.If he makes any mistakes，I will be very angry and teach him a lesson.I will beat him with a stick.”During this dream，he picked up the stick next to his bed，thinking that he was beating his son，raised the stick and hit the pot.The pot of milk broke and he awoke from his day dream.

“我會(huì)賣掉所有的母雞來(lái)買奶牛，并開一個(gè)牛奶場(chǎng)。鎮(zhèn)里所有的人將從我這里買牛奶。我會(huì)很有錢，很快就買得起寶石。國(guó)王會(huì)買走我所有的寶石，我會(huì)變得很富有，娶豪

門美女為妻，很快，我會(huì)有一個(gè)俊俏的兒子。如果他犯了錯(cuò)，我會(huì)生氣，并給他一

個(gè)教訓(xùn)。我會(huì)用棍子揍他。”在他的夢(mèng)中，牧師拿起了床邊的一根棍子，他以為

自己在打兒子，拿起木棍敲打壺罐，牛奶破罐而出，牧師從白日夢(mèng)中驚醒了。Moral8:Dreams cannot be fulfilled without hard work.寓意院沒(méi)有艱辛的努力，夢(mèng)想是不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
