The Traveler and The Crow

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese

Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　There were people who were on a business trip, and they saw a one-eyed crow.

　While looking at the crow, one of them said,

”We might as well stop the trip, and head back.

　That crow must have appeared in order to let us know we should be heading back.”

　However, another one said,

”There's no way that crow can predict what'll be awaiting ahead of us

　because that crow couldn't predict the incident that made one of his eyes blind.”



　This story tells us that people who are not aware of what is going to happen even to themselves

　do not have the credentials to give advice to others.
