油灯
The Lamp
油灯的灯芯吸足了油，熊熊燃烧起来，于是它就吹嘘自己的光比太阳还要亮。忽然一阵风刮来，油灯就被吹灭了。主人把油灯再次点燃，对它说：“你不要再自吹自擂了，你只要静静地发光就好了。要知道日月星辰的光是不会熄灭的。”
不要夸口，免得自己下不了台。
A Lamp，soaked with too much oil and flaring brightly，boasted that it gave more light than the sun. Then a sudden puff of wind arose，and the Lamp was immediately extinguished. Its owner lit it again，and said，“Boast no more，but henceforth be content to give thy light in silence. Know that not even the stars need to be relit.”
