one day, an owl1 flew persistently2 towards the east till it was completely exhausted3, so it stopped in a forest to take a rest. it happened that a turtledove was also resting there. hearing the panting of the owl, it asked: "where are you going in such a hurry?"
the owl said: "i am moving to the east."
the turtledove asked closely: "why?"
the owl said: "the people in the west all say my cry is unpleasant and dislike me i cannot stay there any longer. i must move to a new place."
the turtledove said: "can you solve your problem by changing a place? in my opinion, no matter where you move to, it won't *."
the owl felt rather angry at the words of the turtledove, but it still asked in surprise: "can you forecast the future?"
the turtledove said: "this is very *. if you don't change your cry, the people in the east will dislike you all the same."
一天，猫头鹰一个劲儿地向东方飞去，飞得精疲力尽，停在树林里休息。一只斑鸿恰巧也在那里休息，听见猫头鹰呼味呼味地喘气，就对猫头鹰说：“你这样急急忙忙地赶路，去哪儿呀？”
猫头鹰说：“我想到东方去住。”
斑鸡追问：“为什么？”
猫头鹰说：“西边的人，都说我叫的声音很难听，都讨厌我。在那儿我住不下去了，非换个地方不可！”
斑鸿说：“难道换个地方就可以解决问题吗？我看，不管你搬到哪里去，都没有用！”
猫头鹰觉得斑坞的话太气人，便惊奇地问：“你能未卜先知？”
斑鸡说：“这很简单，如果你不改变你的叫声，那么东边的*一样会讨厌你的！”
