买驴的人（The man who buys donkeys）
有人买了一头驴子，想要牵走试一试。他把驴牵到自己的驴马之中，并让他站在马槽前。那驴子来到一头好吃懒做的驴子旁边。于是，买驴的人立刻给那头驴套上辔头，牵去还给驴的卖主。卖主问，你这方法可靠吗？那人答道：“不必怀疑了，依我之见，选择什么样的朋友，自己也就什么样。”
寓意：物以类聚，人以群分。
Someone bought a donkey and tried to take it away. He took the donkey into his own donkey horse and made him stand in front of the manger.The donkey came next to a delicious, lazy donkey. So, the person who bought the donkey immediately put a hoe on the donkey and took it back to the donkey's seller. The seller asked, Is your method reliable? The man replied, "Don't doubt, in my opinion, choose what kind of friends, what kind of friends, what kind of themselves."
Meaning: things to class, people to groups.
驮神像的驴（A donkey of a statue of god）
有个人把神像放在驴子背上，赶着进城去。沿途的人都对着神像顶礼膜拜。驴子以为人们是向它致敬，便扬扬得意，大喊大叫，再也不肯往前走了。驴夫见到这情形，明白了是什么回事，立刻狠狠地给他一棍，并骂道：“喂，你这蠢东西，人们给驴子鞠躬的时候还早得很哩！”
寓意：那些依靠别人获得尊敬的人太自不量力了。
A man put the statue on the back of a donkey and rushed into town. People along the way worshipped the statue. The donkey thought that people were paying tribute to it, so he raised his heart, shouted, and refused to go any further. The donkey man saw the situation, understood what was going on, immediately gave him a stick, and scolded: "Hey, you stupid thing, people bowed to the donkey very early!"
The moral: Those who rely on others for respect are too self-defeating.
