老驢拉車

Once there was a man who was lost while driving through the country. As he tried to read a map while driving， he accidentally drove off the road into a deep muddy ditch1. Though not injured， his car was stuck2. So the man walked to a nearby farm.

There he saw an old farmer and asked for help. The farmer replied， “Warwick can get you out of that ditch，” pointing to an old donkey standing in a field. The man looked at the old donkey and then looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating3， “Yep， old Warwick can do the job.”

The two men and Warwick made their way back to the ditch. The farmer took the donkey to the car and he shouted， “Pull， Fred！Pull， Jack！Pull， Ted！Pull， Warwick！”

Slowly the donkey pulled the car from the ditch.

The man was amazed. He patted4 the donkey， thanked the farmer and asked， “Why did you call out so many other names before you called Warwick？”

The farmer laughed and said， “Old Warwick is just about blind. But as long as he believes he is part of a team， he doesnt mind pulling.”

從前，有個(gè)男人在鄉(xiāng)下開(kāi)車時(shí)迷了路。開(kāi)車的時(shí)候，他想要看地圖，結(jié)果不小心駛離了車道，掉進(jìn)了一個(gè)深泥溝里。雖然人沒(méi)有受傷，但是他的汽車卻陷在泥中。于是，男人走向附近的一個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)。

在農(nóng)場(chǎng)，男人看見(jiàn)了一個(gè)老農(nóng)并向他尋求幫助。老農(nóng)指著田里一頭老驢說(shuō)：“沃里克能助你出泥溝?！蹦腥丝粗穷^老驢，又看了看一旁的老農(nóng)，老農(nóng)重復(fù)地說(shuō)道：“是的，老沃里克能干好這個(gè)活兒?！?/p>

兩人和驢一起來(lái)到泥溝前，老農(nóng)把驢牽到汽車前，他大聲喊道：“使勁，費(fèi)雷德！使勁，杰克！使勁，泰德！使勁，沃里克！”

慢慢地，老驢把汽車?yán)隽四鄿稀?/p>

男人驚呆了，他拍了拍老驢，謝過(guò)老農(nóng)，問(wèn)道：“為什么叫沃里克之前，你先叫了這么多別的名字呢？”

老農(nóng)哈哈大笑，說(shuō)道：“老沃里克眼睛幾乎瞎了，但是只要它相信自己是團(tuán)隊(duì)的一員，他就不介意全力以赴的。”endprint
