《古代寓言·守株待兔》（中英对照）

宋人有耕田者。田中有株。兔走触株，折颈而死。因释其耒耒而守株，冀复得兔。

——兔不可复得，而身为宋国笑。

——《韩非子》

Waiting for a Hare to Turn up

There was a peasant in the state of Song. One day a hare dashed up, knocked against a tree in his field, broke its neck and fell dead. Then the peasant put down his hoe and waited by the tree for another hare to turn up. No more hares appeared, however; but he became the laughing-stock of the state.
