雌狐与母狮

“为什么你只有一个孩子，夫人?”雌狐狸问.

“看我这群健康的孩子，如果有能力，一个骄傲的妈妈应该多养一些孩子。”

母狮平静地说：“是呀，看看这漂亮的一大群，他们都是狐狸！我只有一个，可他毕竟是一头狮子。”

寓意:贵重的价值在于质，而不在于量。

一只画眉鸟被囚禁在窗外挂着的一个笼子里，当其他鸟儿都酣睡时，她却在夜里唱歌。有一个夜晚，蝙蝠飞过来，抓住鸟笼的.栅栏，问她为什么白天默默无声，却在夜里放声歌唱。小鸟回答说：“我这样做是有道理的，曾经有一次，当我在白天唱歌时，一个捕鸟人被我的歌声吸引，就用鸟笼子捉住了我。从此我只在夜里歌唱。”可是，蝙蝠却说：“你现在这样做根本没用了，因为你已经成为阶下囚。若是在被捉住之前这样做就好了，那样或许你依然是自由之身!”

待事情发生之后再预防，为时已晚。
