The boy bathing 洗澡的男孩

A Boy was bathing in a river and got out of his depth, and was in great danger of being drowned. A man who was passing along a road heard his cries for help, and went to the riverside and began to scold him for being so careless as to get into deep water, but made no attempt to help him. “Oh, sir,” cried the Boy, “please help me first and scold me afterwards.”

Give assistance, not advice, in a crisis.

一天，有个小男孩正在河里洗澡，他走到了水深没顶的地方，眼看就要被淹死了。一个正经过此路的行人听到了男孩的呼救声，他走到河边，开始教训小男孩太鲁莽地进入深水区，但是并没有要去救人的意思。小男孩大声喊道：“先生，拜托你，还是先把我救起来，再好好教训吧。”

危急之中应伸出援手，而非建议。
