菜根谭(1)：春风解冻 和气消冰
家人有过不宜暴扬，不宜轻弃。此事难言，借他事而隐讽之；今日不悟，俟来日正警之。如春风之解冻、和气之消冰，才是家庭的型范。
昨晚读到《菜根谭》的《春风解冻 和气消冰》这篇，方知我由来已久的罪过。
The Lion and the Mouse
from http://classics.mit.edu/Aesop/fab.1.1.html#38
A Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by st ropes to the ground.
The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaim: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; I now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
