One day, an owl1 flew persistently2 towards the east till it was completely exhausted3, so it stopped in a forest to take a rest. It happened that a turtledove was also resting there. Hearing the panting of the owl, it asked: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
The owl said: "I am moving to the east."
The turtledove asked closely: "Why?"
The owl said: "The people in the west all say my cry is unpleasant and dislike me I cannot stay there any longer. I must move to a new place."
The turtledove said: "Can you solve your problem by changing a place? In my opinion, no matter where you move to, it won't help."
The owl felt rather angry at the words of the turtledove, but it still asked in surprise: "Can you forecast the future?"
The turtledove said: "This is very simple. If you don't change your cry, the people in the east will dislike you all the same."
一天，貓頭鷹一個(gè)勁兒地向東方飛去，飛得精疲力盡，停在樹(shù)林里休息。一只斑鴻恰巧也在那里休息，聽(tīng)見(jiàn)貓頭鷹呼味呼味地喘氣，就對(duì)貓頭鷹說(shuō)：“你這樣急急忙忙地趕路，去哪兒呀？” <a Href=http://www.zequeka.cn/minifoRm.html>蘇州作文輔導(dǎo)班</a>
貓頭鷹說(shuō)：“我想到東方去住?！?
斑雞追問(wèn)：“為什么？”
貓頭鷹說(shuō)：“西邊的人，都說(shuō)我叫的聲音很難聽(tīng)，都討厭我。在那兒我住不下去了，非換個(gè)地方不可！”
斑鴻說(shuō)：“難道換個(gè)地方就可以解決問(wèn)題嗎？我看，不管你搬到哪里去，都沒(méi)有用！”
貓頭鷹覺(jué)得斑塢的話太氣人，便驚奇地問(wèn)：“你能未卜先知？”
斑雞說(shuō)：“這很簡(jiǎn)單，如果你不改變你的叫聲，那么東邊的人也一樣會(huì)討厭你的！”
