算命先生的寓言故事

一个专门给人算命的人，坐在市场里靠给人算卦来谋生。忽然，有一个人跑来告诉他，他家被强盗撬门而入，家里所有的东西几乎都被偷走了。算命的人大吃一惊，立刻气得跳了起来，唉声叹气地赶回家中。旁观者都被逗笑了，其中一个人说道：“这位朋友声称自己能预知将来，可是看上去他并不聪明，怎么连自己的事都没预料到呢？”

算命先生的这篇寓言故事告诉了大家：不要去相信和预知将来，我们应该好好的把握现在，当你相信算命先生的时候，或许他自己都无法为自己预知未来。

THE PROPHET

A Prophet sat in the market-place and told the fortunes of all who cared to engage his services.Suddenly there came running up one who told him that his house had been broken into by thieves，and that they had made off with everything they could lay hands on.He was up in a moment，and rushed off,tearing his hair and calling down curses on the miscreants.The bystanders were much amused，and one of them said， “Our friend professes to know what is going to happen to others，but it seems he’S not clever enough to perceive what’S in store for himself.”
