A dove, confined in a cage, boasted about the many young ones she had hatched. A crow, upon hearing this, said: "My good friend, stop this ill-timed boasting. The larger your family, the greater your sorrow will be, seeing them all locked up in this prison."
一只被关在笼子里的鸽子，夸耀自己孵出了许多幼雏。一只乌鸦听到后，说道：“我的好朋友，停止这不合时宜的夸耀吧。你的家庭越大，你的悲伤就会越深，因为看着他们全都被锁在这座监狱里。”
