发布时间：03 2619:41The Canary and the Prophecy 金丝雀与预言
There was little boy. He was very fond of birds and felt willing to do anything he was able to perform, to earn money enough to buy himself a canary and a cage. Very soon he managed to find employment, sometimes one thing and sometimes another, always so prompt, faithful and cheerful that he soon found persons inquiring after him, instead of having to hunt work.
有一个小男孩，他非常喜欢鸟，为了能挣到足够的钱给自己买一只金丝雀和一个笼子他准备做任何他能做的事。很快，他就找到了活儿，有时干这，有时干那，他干活儿很麻利并且总是一心一意，于是很快就有人发现了他并长期雇佣，从此他再也不必找活儿了。
After what seemed a very long time, for birds used to be very dear in those days, my little friend had a sum sufficient, and started out, as happy as could be, to make his purchase. The bird was selected ; the price was $5.oo, and the cage was $1.50. He then bought ten cents worth of seed to feed it, intending to soon purchase more. The merchant began laughing and ridiculing him about the small package of feed. The poor boy left the store with his treasure, but far from being as happy as when he entered it, and going home with burning cheeks and heavy heart, he told his gentle mother.
在那个时代鸟儿还是挺昂贵的年代，我的小朋友经过一段很长的时间的准备终于攒够了一笔钱，于是他高高兴兴地准备去买鸟了。他选中了一只价格5美元的鸟，笼子则花了1.5美元，顺便还买了价值10美分的种子来喂它，想着很快吃完后再多买些。店老板看着那一小包饲料开始嘲笑他，这个可怜的男孩带着他的心爱的鸟儿离开了商店，但他却没有像进商店时那样高兴，而是带着红润的脸颊和沉重的心情回家，他告诉了母亲这一切。
The father arrived and was informed and immediately started down town. When he entered the store, the merchant knew something was coming, and soon found out what it was. Where was your man hood when you could ridicule a little child that had worked for weeks and weeks to pay you a high price for a bird and cage? I promise you here that that boy will rise and have name and wealth when you are down and poor! You may watch him and I will watch you!"
父亲回到家听到这一切后，立即动身去了城里。当他走进商店时，商人感觉不妙，很快就知道是为什么了，“当你嘲笑一个为了买鸟而打了好几个星期零工的小孩时，你的人品在哪里？我在这里向你保证，当你穷困潦倒的时候，那个男孩会成功并富有，拥有名声和财富！你可以看着他成长，而我会看着你没落！”
The man of avarice shrank before the eye and voice of the man who uttered those significant words.
在这铿锵有力的话语面前，这个贪婪的商人顿时像泄了气的皮球。
Within ten years the merchant had lost his fine store, his comfortable home property, and was scarcely earning a living, besides being an object of sympathy, from his altered health and dejected appearance.
不到十年，这个商人就失去了他那漂亮的商店和舒适的家产，除了作为同情的对象之外，他那变化无常的健康状况和垂头丧气的样子使他几乎失去了谋生的机会。
