The Wall and The Nail

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese

Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　A hole was made violently by a nail, and then the wall screamed at the nail.

”Why did you make a hole on me?

　I haven't done anything wrong to you!”

　The nail answered.

”It's not me that attacked you.

　It's the one that was hitting my butt.”



　This story tells us that we should not accuse those who cause harm to you directly on the spot

　because there could be cases in which some others attempt to do harm to you behind the scenes.
