一个年轻人受了极大的挫折想自杀。入夜后,他极度悲伤地带了根绳子,独自一个人来到树林里爬上树想上吊。当他把绳子绑在树枝上后,树枝说话了:“亲爱的年轻人,别在我身上吊死吧!有一对小鸟此时正在我的枝头筑巢呢。我有责任保护它们。如果你在我身上上吊,我就会折断,鸟巢也保不住了,请你原谅我,并且可怜可怜这对小鸟吧!” A young man suffered a great deal of frustration trying to commit suicide. In the night, he took the rope with extreme sadness and went alone to the trees to climb. When he tied the rope to the branch, the tree spoke: “Dear young people, don’t hang on me! There are a pair of birds that are nesting on my branch at this time. I have a responsibility to protect them.” If you hang on me, I will break and the bird’s nest will not survive. Please forgive me, and pity this little bird!"
