13.小男孩与蝎子Little boy and scorpion

There was a child catching grasshoppers in front of the city wall. After a while, he caught a lot of them. Suddenly he saw a scorpion. He thought it was also a grasshopper, so he caught it with both hands. The scorpion raised its sting and said, "come on, if you dare to do this, you will lose all the grasshoppers you catch."
 This story tells people to distinguish between good and bad people and treat them differently
　　有个小孩在城墙前捉蚱蜢，一会儿就捉了许多。忽然看见一只蝎子，他以为也是蚱蜢，便用两手去捕捉它。蝎子举起它的毒刺，说道：“来吧，如果你真敢这样做，就连你捉的蚱蜢也会统统失掉。” 　　
这故事告诫人们要分辨清好人和坏人，区别的对待他们才可以。
