The old man and Death 　　An old man was gathering sticks in a forest.
　　At last he grew very tired and hopeless.
He threw down all the sticks and cried out, I cannot bear this life any longer.
Ah, I wish Death would come and take me!
　　As he spoke, Death appeared, and said to him, What would you do, old man?
I heard you call me.
　　Please, sir, replied the old man, would you help me lift this bundle of sticks up to my shoulder?
老人与死神 　　●有个老人在森林中砍了不少柴，十分吃力地挑着走了很远的路。
　　●一路上他累遥了，实在挑不动了，便扔下柴担，叫喊起来：这种日子我受不了了，死神啊，带我走吧。
　　●这时，死神来了，对他说：老头，你想做什么，我听见你叫我?
　　●先生，老人说，您能帮忙将那担子放在我的肩上吗?
　　寓意: 即使生活不幸，人们仍需爱惜生命。
