The Father and His Son

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: ^v^My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are pided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.^v^

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。

范文：

This cartoon displays a very soothing scene. An old lady bought some stuff from a convenience store, and just at the moment when she was about to leave, the store keeper ran out to her because she had paid an extra two yuan. Though that is not a big amount of money, I believe the old lady must be greatly impressed by the keeper’s honesty.

It is without doubt that the cartoon aims at addressing a serious problem prevailing in today’s society, that is, the lack honesty in the field of business. For instance, many businessmen are so obsessed with making profit that they simply forget that they are supposed to serve the people with best products and services. Therefore, there emerge fake products, cheating services and unfulfilled promises. In contrast, the kind-hearted keeper of this drawing practices honesty in every detail of her work. Her attitude gives customer the sense that her product and service are of first-class quality, which would guarantee her more customersand credit.

The store keeper’s practice is exactly what we should advocate among all businesses. That is because, honesty not only renders clients temporary satisfaction, but can also build long-term customer trust. The latter is one of the key factors for market expansion and business success.

译文：

这幅漫画展现了一个非常令人欣慰的情景。一个老妇人刚刚从一家便利店中买了一些东西，在她正要离开的时候，店主跑出来还给她多付的两块钱。尽管这点钱数目不多，但是我相信这个老妇人一定对店主的诚实留下了深刻的印象。

毫无疑问这幅漫画意在指出当今社会一个普遍且严重的社会问题，即商界缺乏诚信原则。具体而言，许多商人一心想着谋取更多的利润，而忘记了他们应该为顾客提供的产品和服务。因此就出现了诸如假冒产品、欺诈服务、无法兑现的诺言等。相反，这幅图中好心的店主却在工作的每一个细节中实践诚信的原则。她的态度让顾客感觉到她的服务和产品是一流的，这就保证了她拥有越来越多的顾客、更好的名声和信誉。

这个店主的行为正是我们应该在商界中努力实践的。这是因为，诚信不仅仅给了顾客暂时的满意感，而更能够建立长期的顾客信任。而后者是市场扩张和事业成功的关键因素之一。
