Zhao suffers from mice, while Zhongshan begs cats. Zhongshan people give cats and are good at catching mice and chickens. A month later, the mouse was exhausted and the chicken was exhausted. When his son suffered from the disease, he told his father, "What are you going to do?" His father said, "You will know when you know right or wrong. My trouble lies in mice, not chickens. If my husband has mice, he will steal my food, destroy my clothes, wear my walls and damage my utensils. Will I be hungry and cold, and I won't get sick without chickens? If there is no chicken, you will have ears if you eat chicken. If you are hungry and cold, it's still far away. If not, why go to your husband and cat?
Translation:
Zhao's family was infested with rats and went to Zhongshan to look for cats. Zhongshan people gave him a cat. This cat is good at catching mice as well as chickens. After more than a month, there were fewer mice and no chickens. His son was very worried and said to his father, "why don't you drive the cat away?" His father said, "That's what you don't know. I'm afraid of mice, not chickens. With mice, they will eat my food, destroy my clothes, wear my walls and chew my utensils, and I will be hungry and cold. Isn't it more harmful than no chicken? No chicken, just don't eat it. It's still a long way from hunger and cold. Why did you drive the cat away? "
Good at catching mice and chickens-good (good)
Damage to our equipment-damage (destruction)
Don't get sick without chickens-sick (cold and hunger)
If you know right and wrong, I think my father is right.
It is still far from hunger and cold: it is still far from hunger and cold.
1 If my husband has mice, he will steal my food, destroy my clothes, wear my walls and damage my tools. Will I be hungry and cold, and I won't get sick without chickens?
If rats steal my food, bite my clothes, break through the walls of my house and destroy the utensils, I will be hungry and cold, which is much worse than without chickens.
Zhao people think that cats can kill mice is the main aspect of the problem, and cats eat chickens is the secondary aspect of the problem. As long as it can kill mice and eat chickens, it is secondary, so it is necessary to raise cats. His son thinks that cats eat chickens and should be removed.
Prioritize the problems, and don't lose big because of small things.
