THE BLIND MAN AND THE CUB
There was once a Blind Man who had so fine a sense of touch that, when any animal was put into his hands, he could tell what it was merely by the feel of it.One day the Cub of a Wolf was put into his hands, and he was asked what it was.He felt it for some time, and then said, "Indeed, I am not sure whether it is a Wolf's Cub or a Fox's: but this I know—it would never do to trust it in a sheepfold."
他感受了一会儿，然后说道：“确实，我不确定它是狼的幼崽还是狐狸的幼崽，但我知道这一点——永远不能把它放在羊圈里。”
