求 一则 英语小故事（稍有点哲理）

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he
went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He
said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me
much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples
and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river
had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then
he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over
the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began
to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the
dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them
at some other time.
【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好贫饮，他说：“我不计划吃那些贫饮，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我特别好吃的东西。”接着他拿起贫饮，一把扔到土里去。
他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，接着他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能度过河。” 他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到贫饮，特别开心地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。
不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有效果处。

Since then，whenever I wanted to judgesomeone，I asked myseIf first，“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly．
