It happened that a country man was sowing some hemp1 seeds in a field where a Swallow and some other Birds were hopping2 about picking up their food.
“Be ware3 of that man,”said the Swallow.
“Why, what is he doing?” said the others.
“Those are hemp seeds he is sowing; be careful to pickup4 everyone of the seeds, or else you will repent5 it.”
The Birds paid no heed6 to the Swallow’s words.
By and by the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and of the cords nets were made, and many a Bird that had despised the Swallow’s advice was caught in nets made out of that very hemp.
一个庄稼人正在地里播种大麻的种子。一只燕子和一些其他的鸟儿正在那里寻找食物。
“小心那个男人。”燕子说。
“为什么?他在干什么?”其他鸟问。
“他正在播种大麻的种子,一定要仔细地把每一粒都拣出来,否则你们会后悔的。”
鸟儿们都没在意燕子的话。
大麻渐渐长大了,后来被搓成了绳子,绳子又被结成了网。许多对燕子的劝告满不在乎的鸟儿正是被这用大麻编成的网捉住的。
