 One day a ship packed with plenty of passengers sank into the sea.

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

 There was a man who saw the ship sink, and he said,

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

“God doesn't know what he's doing!

 There is only one man that should receive divine punishment in the ship.

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

 It's such a terrible thing as sinking the ship and killing so many people in order to punish that man.”

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

 In the meantime, there were plenty of ants at the place where the man, who expressed his opinion about God's sinking the ship, stood.

 Then one of the ants bit him once.

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

“Ouch! You're just an ant. How could you bite a human being? Shame on you!”

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

 Even though the ant bit him only once,

 he trod all the ants that he could see around him.

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

 Then God Hermes appeared, and said to him,

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

“Well,

アリに刺された男とヘルメス

 see what you've done. After even reflecting on what you've done, can you still say that God can't punish human beings like you did to the ants?”



 This is a story for those who make a fuss about what others are doing, but do the same things as others.
