编者按:《邻居和蛇》是一篇英语寓言故事带翻译,讲述的是创伤的故事,作者用了冤冤相报何时了的寓意来说这个故事。
A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted a severe bite on the cottager's little son. So the child died.
This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head,and cut off only the end of its tail.
