English Original
A spendthrift, having wasted his fortune and left with only the clothes on his back, saw a swallow on a fine early spring day. Believing summer had arrived, he sold his coat for whatever he could get. However, the weather suddenly changed; a sharp frost came and killed the unfortunate swallow. Upon seeing its dead body, the spendthrift cried, "Miserable bird! Thanks to you I am perishing of cold myself."
One swallow does not make summer.

一个败家子挥霍光了财产，只剩身上穿的衣服。在一个晴朗的早春日，他看到一只燕子，便以为夏天已到，于是卖掉外套换了些钱。不料天气骤变，一场严霜冻死了那只不幸的燕子。败家子看到燕子的尸体后喊道：“可怜的小鸟！都怪你，害得我也要冻死了。”
一燕不成夏。
