一次,公牛們在一起商量對付屠夫的辦法。屠夫經常殘害他們的同伴。在約定的一天,他們聚集起來實行預定的計劃。一頭年紀大的公牛對他們說: “那些屠夫確實是罪該萬死,但是他們技術熟練,我們可以免除很多死亡的痛苦;如果我們遇到不熟練的新手,那麼我們的痛苦就要加倍了。即使屠夫們應該得到應有的懲罰,但是我們又怎麼能使人類不再有吃牛肉的欲望呢? ”
不要急於去改變一種罪惡。
The Oxeime sought to destroy the Butchers,who practiced a trade destructive to their race. They assembled oain day to carry out their purpose,aheir hor. But ohem who was exgly old(for many a .eld had he plowed)thus spoke,”These Butchers,it is true,slaughter us,but they do so with skillful hands,and with no unnecessary pai rid of them,we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators,and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured,that though all the Butchers should perish,yet will me beef.”
Do not be in a hurry to e evil for another.
