The Way to Chase Away Chickens
(Originally in English)
A man had a beautiful garden and flower beds, and all kinds of nice
things that he planted in his garden. But there was one problem.
His neighbor always let his chickens loose, and they ran over to reach
the garden to dig out the roots and eat the flowers and make a mess
everywhere. And he told his neighbor to keep the hens within his
fence. But the neighbor said, "I don't believe in this kind of restriction,
imprisonment. I believe chickens are also the creation of God, and
they have the right to go wherever they want." And so he just let his
chickens run all over. And the chickens loved the flowers and the
corn and all the things that the neighbor planted. And so they would
visit his garden often. But then one day one of his friends came
back, and saw that the man had
all the flowers and everything that he planted still in order! So the friend
was very surprised: "How did you do that? How did you convince the
neighbor to keep the chickens out of your yard?" He said, "Oh, that's
easy. I just hid a dozen eggs in my flower bed, and one day I let my
neighbor see that I was collecting them."
After that the neighbor kept his chickens to himself.
赶鸡之道
有个人有一座漂亮的花园，里面种了各式各样的奇花异草，
不过，有个问题，就是他的邻居总是放任他养的鸡到处乱
跑，闯进花园里，把植物的根挖起来，吃掉花园里的花，
搞得乱七八糟。他请邻居把鸡关好，可是那位邻居却说：
「我才不想把鸡像犯人一样关起来呢！它们也是上帝创
造的，有自由行动的权利。」所以那位邻居就任凭它们
跑来跑去，而那些鸡喜欢吃园里种的花草谷物，所以就
常常过去光顾。
有一天，这个人的朋友来找他，发现整个花园井然有序，
花草树木都很茂盛，就很惊讶地问他：「你是怎么说服
邻居把鸡关起来的？」他回答说：「哦！太简单了！我
先在花园里藏了一些鸡蛋，然后故意让我的邻居看到我
在捡蛋，从此以后他就严加看管他的鸡了。」
