English Original
A crab once left the seashore and settled in a meadow inland. The meadow looked green and seemed a good place to feed. However, a hungry fox came along, spied the crab, and caught him. Just as he was about to be eaten, the crab said, "This is what I deserve. I had no business leaving my natural home by the sea to settle here as if I belonged on land."
Be content with your lot.

一只螃蟹曾离开海岸,定居在内陆的一片草地上。草地看起来绿意盎然,似乎是个觅食的好地方。然而,一只饥饿的狐狸走过来,发现了螃蟹并抓住了他。就在即将被吃掉之际,螃蟹说:“我真是活该。我本不该离开海边那个天然的家,偏要像陆生动物一样到这里定居。”
知足常乐。
