Yang Bu and the Dog | 杨布打狗

English Original

Yang Zhu had a younger brother named Yang Bu.

One day, Yang Bu went out wearing white clothes. It happened to rain, so he took off his white clothes, changed into black ones, and returned home. His dog did not recognize him in the different clothes and came at him, barking fiercely.

Yang Bu grew angry and was about to beat the dog. At that moment, Yang Zhu said to him, "Do not beat it. You might make the same kind of mistake. If your dog went out white and came back black, wouldn't you be surprised?"


中文翻译

杨朱有个弟弟叫杨布。

一天,杨布穿着白色的衣服出门。恰逢天降大雨,他便脱掉白衣,换上黑衣回家。他的狗没有认出换了衣服的他,便冲着他狂吠起来。

杨布非常生气,正要打狗。这时,杨朱对他说:“别打它。你也可能犯同样的错误。如果你的狗出去时是白色,回来时却变成了黑色,难道你不会感到奇怪吗?”
