笼子里的鸟与蝙蝠寓言故事
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,她却在夜里歌唱。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,却在夜间放声歌唱。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。从此我只在夜里唱歌。”可是,蝙蝠却说:“你现在这样做根本没用了,因为你已经成为了阶下囚。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!”

THE CAGE-BIRD AND THE BAT
A Singing—bird was confined in a cage which hung outside a window,and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep.One night a Bat came and clung to the bars of the cage,and asked the Bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.“I have a very good reason for doing SO,”said the Bird:“it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice,and set his nets for me and caught me.Since then I have never sung except by night.”But the Bat replied,“It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner:if only you had done SO before you were caught,you might still have been free.”
Precautions are useless arter the event.
