蜘蛛闲着无聊,想开一家店。第一天他挂出牌子:卖口罩。来了河马——嘴太大,蜘蛛织了一整天才织完。
Bored on his web, a spider opened a shop. Day one, the sign read: masks. A hippo came - its mouth so huge the spider wove all day to finish.
第二天他改卖围巾。来了长颈鹿——脖子太长,他足足织了一个星期。
Day two he switched to scarves. A giraffe came - its neck took a whole week of weaving.
第三天他改卖袜子。这次来的是蜈蚣——四十二条腿!蜘蛛吓得直接跑回网上。
Day three he switched to socks. This time a centipede arrived - forty-two legs! The spider fled straight back to his web.
只看到开头简单、想不到后面麻烦,就会像蜘蛛一样,什么也做不成。
See only the easy start and not the trouble after, and like the spider you'll accomplish nothing.
