THE RESULTS OF CRUELTY 残忍的报应 During the Tang dynasty there was a very cruel farmer. 在唐代，有一个非常残忍的农夫。 At noon one day he went to see how everything was in his fields. He saw that the bull a neighbor used to plow had wandered into his field. It was eating the grains and had trampled his crops. 有一天的中午，他去视看他的农田。他看到邻家的耕牛走进了他的田里。它吃起了谷物，还践踏庄稼。 The farmer was furious. I have worked so hard to grow these crops， and now you have come to steal some and trample the rest! You must be tired of living? With that， he took out his knife and said， I am not going to kill you， but since you have eaten my crops， you have to leave your tongue here. Lets see if you ever dare steal from me again? 农夫狂怒地说：我辛辛苦苦才种了这些庄稼，你现在不仅来偷吃，还踩坏我的庄稼!你活腻了吧?说着，他拿出他的刀，说，我不会杀你，但是既然你吃了我的庄稼，你就该把舌头给我留下。看你还敢不敢来偷吃? The bull must have known it had done wrong， because it dropped its head and looked sorry. The mean farmer grabbed it by the horn and cut out its tongue. Even though it hurt， the bull did not cry out in pain. |
