Aesop’s Fables – Åsnan och hans bonde
Once upon a time, there was a farmer who was travelling with his donkey to the market. The market to was at the bottom in the valley and they had to travel all around the mountain to get there.
TranslateDet var en gång en bonde som färdades med sin åsna till marknaden. Marknaden låg längst ner i dalen och de var tvungna att resa runt hela berget för att komma dit.
The Donkey said, “BRAAAAY! BRAAAAY! Dear Master, if we run down the cliff, we can reach the market much faster.”
TranslateÅsnan sa, ”GNÄGG ! GNÄGG! Kära bonde, om vi springer nerför klippan kan vi nå marknaden mycket snabbare. ”
The Master said, “Yes, but the cliff is steep and we will surely fall down. It is safer if we travel around the mountain.”
TranslateBonden sa, ”Ja, men klippan är brant och vi kommer säkert att falla ner. Det är säkrare om vi reser runt berget. ”
The Donkey decided, “Fine. I shall see you in the bottom of the mountain then”.
The donkey moved towards the edge of the cliff. The master pulled the donkey back by its tail many times but he would not listen. Finally, the master gave up.
TranslateÅsnan bestämde sig, ”Fint. Jag ska se dig vid foten av berget då ”.
Åsnan rörde sig mot kanten av klippan. Bonden drog åsnan i svansen många gånger men han ville inte lyssna. Slutligen gav bonden upp.
The Master said, “Ok. It seems that you have to learn the hard way. Go the way you want and see the path it leads you on.”
The Donkey stepped off the cliff and fell down and broke its head.
TranslateBonden sa, ”Ok. Det verkar som om du måste lära dig på det hårda sättet. Gå som du vill och se den väg det leder dig på. ”
Åsnan tog ett steg över klippkanten och föll ner och bröt huvudet.
Moral: “They who will not listen to reason but stubbornly go their own way against the friendly advice of those who are wiser than they, are on the road to misfortune.”
Translate“De som inte vill lyssna på förnuftet men envist går sina egna vägar mot det vänliga rådet, från de som är klokare än de, är på väg mot olycka.”
