雙語寓言故事:大山 A  Great Mountain

A great mountain
Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake.
People came from far and near to see what would happen.
"A great river will be born." said one.
"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out." said another.
"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.
Finally, after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped --- a mouse.
Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important.

很久以前，一座大山隆隆作響，搖晃起來。遠近各處的人都來看是怎麼回事。
一個人說："要出現一條大河了。"
另一個人說："準會出現一條巨龍。"
第三個人說："從這些岩石中會出現一尊神來。"
等了幾天之後，山坡上終於裂開一條小縫，卻蹦出來一隻耗子。
正因爲某人大肆張揚，所以他沒有什麼了不起。
