He made a casket(小箱，棺材) for the pearl out of the wood from a magnolia(木兰) tree, which he fumigated(熏制) with spices. He studded the casket with pearls and jade, ornamented it with red gems and decorated it with kingfisher(翠鸟) feathers. A man of the state of Zheng bought the casket and gave him back the pearl. Too luxuriant(丰富的，奢华的) decoration usually supersedes(取 代) what really counts. This man from Chu certainly knew how to sell a casket but he was no good at selling his pearl. And the man of Zheng didn’t know which is really valuable. 上一篇英语: 专心致志下一篇英语: 万事俱备 只欠东风查看更 多关于英语民间故事的文章网友同时还浏览了: 庞巴迪2.59亿出售10架挑战者喷气 法国将对高收入者提高税率75% Nelson Mandela has died at age 来自希腊神话和圣经的谚语(六) 来自希腊神话和圣经的谚语(五) 来自希腊神话和圣经的谚语(四)
