One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill. As he was running with?the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.
The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree?and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop! You’ll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum.
He told his mum his experience on the way. His mother said, “My child,?don’t always listen to others. You’d better go and try yourself. Then you’ll know what to do.”
Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again. “Little horse, it’s too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt.Then he crossed the river carefully.
Real knowledge comes from practice.

你會(huì)被淹死的。昨天,我的一個(gè)伙伴就在這條河里淹死啦!”小馬不知如何是好,于是決定回家問問媽媽。
小馬把路上的經(jīng)歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說:“孩子,光聽別人說是不行的,你自己親自去試一試,就知道答案了?!?br> 小馬回到河邊,剛要下水,松鼠又大叫起來:“小馬,你不要命啦?”小馬說:“讓我自己試試吧?!彼幻婊卮鹨幻嫦铝撕樱⌒牡靥肆诉^去。
