有一天，一個會吹長笛的漁夫帶著笛子和漁網(wǎng)來到海邊，他站在一塊突出海面的巖石上，開始吹奏曲子，希望用笛聲引誘魚兒跳出海面。漁夫彈奏了一會兒，沒有一條魚出來。最后，他把長笛放到一邊，撒網(wǎng)入海，卻撈起滿網(wǎng)的魚。當(dāng)漁夫把網(wǎng)拖上岸后，看見魚兒在岸邊不停地跳躍，他便說：“你們這些淘氣鬼！我吹笛子時，你們不肯跳；現(xiàn)在我不吹了，你們卻在這里歡蹦亂跳！”

　　【吹笛子的漁夫的故事寓意】

　　吹笛子的漁夫這篇寓言故事告訴了我們：現(xiàn)實生活中，并不是每個人都像漁夫那樣聰明。如果他一直在那里吹笛子，這當(dāng)然是他所擅長的，愿望也是美好的，但是，他本來是想要抓魚的，魚不入網(wǎng)，不光是會很郁悶，甚至可能餓死；漁夫還是可愛的，他至始至終都帶著強烈的主觀愿望來理解他所看到的世界，把魚的掙扎看作是跳舞，雖說是遲來的舞蹈。由此可見，可愛的美好的愿望，在我們享受生活的時候可以盡情發(fā)揮；當(dāng)我們面臨必須的謀生要做事要解決實際問題的時候，就必須尊重客觀規(guī)律，及時采用恰當(dāng)?shù)姆椒ê透冻鎏嵉膭趧印?/p>

　　THE FISHERMAN PIPING

　　A Fisherman who could play the flute went down one day to the sea-shore with his nets and his flute; and, taking his stand on a projecting rock, began to play a tune, thinking that the music would bring the fish jumping out of the sea. He went on playing for some time, but not a fish appeared: so at last he threw down his fl ute and cast his net into the sea, and made a great haul of fi sh. When they were landed and he saw them leaping about on the shore, he cried,“You rascals! you wouldn’t dance when I piped: but now I’ve stopped,you can do nothing else!”
