The Crow And Mercury
乌鸦和财神
A Crow caught in a snare prayed to Apollo to release him, making a vow to offer some frankincense at his shrine.
一只乌鸦，被捉进罗网里，祈祷爱波罗神若能释放它，便发誓要在他神座供香。
Being rescued from his danger, he forgot his promise.
等它的危险一解除，却食言了。
Shortly afterwards, on being again caught in a second snare, passing by Apollo he made the same promise to offer frankincense to Mercury, when he appeared, and said to him,
不久，它又被捉到第二个罗网里了，它又以同样的话许愿，要供香而去求神，那时神出现了，向它说：
"O thou most base fellow! how can I believe thee, who hastily disowned and wronged thy former patron?"
“啊，你这下流家伙！你曾失信而有负你之前的恩人，要我怎样再相信你呢？”
