《古代寓言·都走失了羊群》（中英对照）

臧与谷二人，相与牧羊，而俱亡其羊。

问臧奚事，则挟策读书。

问谷奚事，则博塞以游。

二人者，事业不同，其于亡羊，均也。

——《庄子》

How Two Shepherd Boys Lost their Sheep

Two shepherd boys, Gu and Zang, went out together with their flocks and both of them lost their sheep. When their master asked Zang what he had been doing, he answered that he had been reading. When Gu was questioned, he said he had been playing draughts.

They were doing different things, yet they both lost their sheep just the same.
