| Once there were five beggars (乞丐). One was English, one Turkish (土耳其人), one Greek (希腊人), one was an Arab (阿拉伯人) and one was Persian (波斯人). One day they met and decided to stay together, sharing what they had and helping each other in trouble times. Soon a man passed them in the street and gave them a coin. They talked about what to do with it. At last they decided to buy something to eat. "Let's buy some grapes!" said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted"uzum", the Arab"aneb", the Greek "stafelea", and the Persian insisted on (坚持) "angur". They did not understand each other's language very well. Soon they quarreled and even fought. While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along. He knew all the five languages. He asked them why they were fighting. After they told him, he said,"Give me your coin. I will buy what you want." He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. Each beggar was happy, as each had what he had wanted. They all asked for the same thing, but the word for "grapes" is different in different languages. If people could understand each other, there would be no need to fight. |
