The Blind Man and the Young Wolf | 盲人与幼狼

English Original

A blind man was skilled at identifying objects by touch. Whatever the object, he could distinguish it as soon as he touched it.

One day, a man brought a young wolf and asked the blind man to identify it by touch.

After touching the animal, the blind man said, "This is either a fox or a wolf, I am not certain. However, I know for sure that it is unsafe to let such an animal into a sheep pen."


中文翻译

一位盲人精于通过触摸来辨识物体。无论是什么东西,只要他一摸,就能分辨出来。

一天,有人带来一只幼狼,请这位盲人通过触摸来辨认它。

触摸了这只动物后,盲人说:“这是一只狐狸或者一匹狼,我不太确定。但我十分确信,让这种动物进入羊栏是不安全的。”
