The Greedy Lacewing Larva
蝜蝂傳
The lacewing larva is a tiny bug that loves to carry things on its back. It will grab anything that it sees and place it upon its back. It never worries about carrying too many things or that its pile is growing heavier. As long as it can still move, it will keep adding things to its pile, until it is weighed down, and cannot move anymore. 

The lacewing larva loves to climb with its hefty load. The higher the place, the more it wants to go. It will climb until all its strength is exhausted. Finally, it will drop dead on the floor. 

Many greedy people cannot stop thinking about how to gain more status and power, or even more wealth. When they are finally exhausted or defeated, they might regret being so greedy in the first place. They have all heard stories about people losing everything due to greed. Yet, they were unable to learn from those lessons. 

Alas! These people are no different to  the tiny lacewing larva. We cannot help but feel sorry for them! 

蝜蝂,是一種很喜歡背東西的小蟲子。任何牠看得到的東西,都會抓過來背在身上。就算背的東西越來越多,越來越重,只要牠能動,還是會繼續抓東西來背著,一直到被壓倒,爬不起來為止。

蝜蝂背著重物喜歡往高的地方爬,越高的地方,牠越想去,爬到力氣用光了也要爬。最後,蝜蝂就背著重物掉到地上摔死了。

有很多貪心的人,每天只想著要爬到更高的地位,只想著要得到更多的財富。等到這些人累了、失敗了,也許才會後悔自己不應該這麼貪心。他們都知道因為貪心而失去一切的例子,但是卻沒有辦法從例子中得到教訓。

唉!這些人的想法竟然和蝜蝂這種小蟲子差不多,真是替他們感到悲哀啊!
