Once upon a time, a cute little boar lived in the forest. His favorite food was mushrooms. Whenever the little boar went out to play, he would always take his basket to pick mushrooms to bring home for dinner.

One day, he saw some brightly colored mushrooms growing at the base of a large tree. He said excitedly, “Wow! These mushrooms look so pretty! They must taste delicious! I will pick all of these mushrooms and have them for dinner tonight.”The little boar began to pick the colorful mushrooms and place them in his basket. As there were many mushrooms, the little boar took a long time to pick them all.

Then, he sang as he happily set off for home. When the little boar got home, Papa boar noticed how happy he was. And so, he asked the little boar, “Dear son, you look so happy today. Did you find a lot of mushrooms?”The little boar replied, “Yes, dad! I found many brightly colored mushrooms today. You have got to try the mushrooms later during dinner.”

Upon hearing this, Papa boar immediately checked the mushrooms in the basket. He shook his head and told the little boar, “My son, beautiful appearances are sometimes like sharp knives, which can be quite deadly. You must be very careful. Though these mushrooms are very pretty and eye catching, they are actually poisonous and absolutely cannot be eaten.”

After hearing what his father said, the little boar hurriedly threw the mushrooms away. After this, the little boar learned that truly delicious mushrooms are those that do not look remarkable. On the other hand, brightly colored mushrooms not only taste bad, they are also dangerous.

　　森林裡，住著一隻可愛的小山豬。小山豬最喜歡吃的食物就是香菇了，每次出去玩，一定會帶著籃子出門，然後採了許多香菇回家當作晚餐。
　　有一天，小山豬看到大樹下，長了好幾株色彩鮮豔的香菇，他高興地說：「哇！這些香菇看起來好漂亮啊！一定十分好吃，我要把它們全部採回家，好好享受香菇大餐。」說完，小山豬就開始努力採香菇，花了好長一段時間，忙得滿頭大汗，才把它們全部採進籃子裡。
　　小山豬一邊唱歌，一邊開心地走回家。回到家後，山豬爸爸看到小山豬高興的表情，笑著說：「乖孩子，你今天心情這麼好，是不是又採了一大堆香菇回來呢？」小山豬回答：「是啊！爸爸，我今天採了好多色彩鮮豔的香菇，晚餐的時候，你一定要嚐嚐看。」
　　山豬爸爸聽完後，馬上看著籃子裡的香菇，然後搖搖頭，告訴小山豬說：「孩子，美麗的外表，有時候就像一把鋒利的刀子一樣，容易傷害自己，一定要特別注意。這些香菇外表雖然十分美麗，引人注目，但其實是有毒的，絕對不能吃。」
　　小山豬聽了山豬爸爸的話，急忙將籃子裡的香菇全部丟棄。這時小山豬才知道，原來真正好吃的香菇，是那些外表不起眼的；而外表鮮豔的香菇，不但沒有想像中那麼好吃，反而充滿危險。
