English Original
Once upon a time, a young girl adorned with a strand of precious pearls around her neck, a jade loop at her waist, and carrying a great deal of gold, was walking in the hills.
One day, she encountered a bandit and was terrified. Seeing her treasures, an evil thought occurred to him. Weapon in hand, he intended to rob her. The girl, scared out of her wits and trembling, quickly knelt before him. She begged piteously, even offering to become his concubine.
Yet, the atrocious bandit killed her in the end.
It is thus clear that one should never expect mercy from a bandit.

从前，有一位少女，脖子上挂着一串宝珠，腰间佩着玉环，身上带着许多金子，正在山中行走。
一天，她遇到了一个强盗，心中非常害怕。强盗看到她的金银财宝，顿生歹念。他手持凶器，准备抢劫。少女吓得魂不附体，浑身发抖，急忙跪在强盗面前。她苦苦哀求，甚至表示愿意嫁给他做妾。
然而，穷凶极恶的强盗最终还是杀害了她。
由此可见，绝不能指望强盗会发善心。
