寓言篇_青蛙公主

青蛙公主

一個84歲的老先生喜歡釣魚。
一天,他坐在船上釣魚的當下聽到一個聲音說:「把我拿起來。」
他四處張望,卻四下無人。


當他又聽到「把我拿起來」時,他以為是他的幻覺。
他往水中定神一看,那裡正有一隻青蛙浮在水面上。

老先生問道:「你在跟我說話嗎?」

青蛙回道:「對,就是我啊!」 

將我拿起來,吻我,我就會變為你今生所見最漂亮的女人。
我確定你的朋友是既羨慕又嫉妒,因為我即將成為你的新娘。

老先生凝視青蛙片刻後,伸出手,很小心地托起青蛙放入他前面的口袋裡。
青蛙說:「怎麼,你瘋啦?你沒聽我說嗎?我說,吻我,然後我就會成為你美麗的新娘。」

他撥開他的口袋,看著青蛙說:「算了,以我這樣的年紀,我寧願有一隻會說話的青蛙。」

 

(英文版)

A guy is 84 years old and loves to fish. 
He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.' 
He looked around and couldn't see anyone. 

He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, 'Pick me up.' 
He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog. 

The man said, 'Are you talking to me?' 
The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.' 

Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. 
I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!' 

The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.
The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.' 

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'

 

結論:

這篇童話故事告訴了我們:
1.
童話是美好的,但現實總是殘酷的。
2.
我們的優勢未必是他人所需要的。

3.
好的商品要找到對的買家。
4.
好的人才,也要有好的公司,找錯公司,「人才」只會變「人工」。

 

5.一樣的情節但結局卻不一定會相同,就如青蛙王子是幸福的,青蛙公主是好笑的。
