Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　A traveler wearied from a long journey,

　lay down from fatigue, nearby a well.

　Just as he was about to fall into the water,

　Dame Fortune appeared, woke him and said,

"Good Sir, if you fall into the well,

　then you are sure to start blaming on me, even though it was derived from your own carelessness.



　As Dame Fortune said,

　Most people tend to look for God to blame, even if their misfortune was brought by themselves.
