标题: 伊索寓言Lesson 18 The old man and Death 老人与死神
The old man and Death　　An old man was gathering sticks in a forest.
　　At last he grew very tired and hopeless. He threw down all the sticks and cried out, "I cannot bear this life any longer. Ah, I wish Death would come and take me!"
　　As he spoke, Death appeared, and said to him, "What would you do, old man? I heard you call me."
　　"Please, sir," replied the old man, "would you help me lift this bundle of sticks up to my shoulder?"

　　老人与死神

　　●有个老人在森林中砍了不少柴，十分吃力地挑着走了很远的路。
　　●一路上他累极了，实在挑不动了，便扔下柴担，叫喊起来：“这种日子我受不了了，死神啊，带我走吧。”
　　●这时，死神来了，对他说：“老头，你想做什么，我听见你叫我?”
　　●“先生，”老人说，“您能帮忙将那担子放在我的肩上吗?”
　　寓意: 即使生活不幸，人们仍需爱惜生命。
