有個農夫在耕地時用犁耙出一堆金幣，他欣喜若狂，從那之後，他每天都用豐富的供品來供奉土地爺。命運之神對此很生氣，來到他面前，說：“喂，朋友，那堆金幣是我送給你的禮物，你為什麽要去供奉土地爺呢？賦予你如此好的運氣，你卻從未想過感謝我；如果你運氣不好，丟了本應屬於你的東西，我敢保證，你一定會埋怨我這個命運之神了。”

【農夫和命運之神的寓意】

　　農夫和命運之神這篇寓言總結出了一個道理，不管任何事情的成功和失敗都有很多種原因，我們應該去發現問題的成敗原因然後去改正和繼續努力。

​A Farmer was plowing one day on his farm when he turned up a pot of golden coins with his plow. He was overjoyed at his discovery, and from that time forth made an offering daily at the shrine of the Goddess of the Earth. Fortune was displeased at this，and came to him and said，“My man，why do you give Earth the credit for the gift which I bestowed upon you? You never thought of thanking me for your good luck；but should you be unlucky enough to lose what you have gained I know very well that I.Fortune.should then come in for a11 the blame.”　　Show gratitude where gratitude is due.
