Aesop’s Fables: The Oxen and the Axle-Trees 

伊索寓言:牛和木頭車軸

 6/19

 
  The Oxen and the Axle-Trees 
 
 
  A HEAVY WAGON was being dragged along a 
country lane by a team of Oxen.  
The Axle-trees groaned and creaked terribly; 
whereupon the Oxen, turning round,
 thus addressed the wheels: 
 "Hullo there! why
do you make so much noise?
 We bear all the labor, and we,
 not you, ought to cry out."  
 
 
    Those who suffer most cry out the least.

1q What kind of wagon was it?







 Ans= heavy.



2q a_______What of oxen? 





Ans= team



3q What sound did the axletrees make? 






Ans= they groaned and creaked terribly.



4q What did one of the oxen do? 





Ans= turned around + addressed the axletrees



5q What did he say?





 Ans= "Hullo there! Why do you make so 

much noise?...."



Bq= What's the moral? 






Ans= those who suffer most cry 

out the least.

 

fs=What does the moral mean? the team of oxen, actually 2, carried a lot of weight but didn't groan at all. The wheels,

however, made a lot of noise so one of the oxen asked them why. Both of them suffered from the heavy load. Only 1 made noise about it, like protesters making a ruckus but are ineffectual.

What do you mean? To suffer silently is the best path. If you complain about it, it's ineffectual. It doesn't work. You want change, perhaps 2 lighter loads. Change comes from quiet bearing of the weight. In time, change will come. Let it.
