Honesty

《诚实》

Once there was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker every day.

One day, the baker decided to weigh the butter to check if he was getting the proper amount.

When he weighed the butter, he found out that he was not getting the proper amount.

Upset about this, he brought the farmer to court.

从前有一个农夫，每天卖一磅黄油给一个面包师。

有一天，面包师决定称一下黄油，看看他是否得到了正确的分量。

当他称了黄油后，发现分量不对。

对此感到不满，他把农夫告上了法庭。

The judge asked the farmer whether he was using any method to weigh the butter.

The farmer replied, "Your honor, I'm quite primitive.

I don't have a proper method, but I do have a scale."

The judge asked, "So how do you weigh the butter?"

The farmer replied, "Your honor, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from the baker for a long time, before he even started buying butter from me.

Every day, when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him an equal weight in butter.

If anyone is at fault, it is the baker."

法官问农夫有没有用什么方法来称量黄油。

农夫回答：“法官大人，我很原始。

我没有一个合适的方法，但我有一个秤。”

法官问：“那么你是如何称量黄油的？”

农夫回答说："法官大人，在面包师开始向我购买黄油之前，我已经向他购买一磅面包很长时间了。

每天，当面包师带来面包时，我把它放在秤上，给他相等重量的黄油。

如果有人有错，那就是面包师自己。”

Moral of the story: In life, you get back what you give.

Be honest and fair.

Don't try to cheat others, because it will only cause you problems in the end.

故事的寓意：在人生中，你得到的正是你给予的。

要诚实和公平。

不要试图欺骗他人，因为最终只会给你自己带来麻烦。
