Sitting and Doing Nothing | 静坐无为

English Original

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"

The crow answered, "Sure, why not?"

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.


中文翻译

乌鸦答道:"当然,有何不可?"

于是,兔子坐在乌鸦下方的地上休息。一只狐狸扑向兔子,把它吃掉了。
