A JACKDAW, seeing some Doves in a cote abundantly provided with food, painted himself white and joined them in order to share their plentiful maintenance. —

The Doves, as long as he was silent, supposed him to be one of themselves and admitted him to their cote. —
鸽子们以为他是他们中的一员，只要他保持沉默，就让他进入了鸽舍。 —

But when one day he forgot himself and began to chatter, they discovered his true character and drove him forth, pecking him with their beaks. —
但有一天他忘记了自己的身份开始说个不停，鸽子们发现了他真正的本性，用喙啄他，把他赶走了。 —

Failing to obtain food among the Doves, he returned to the Jackdaws. —
寒鸦在鸽子们那里找不到食物，于是回到了寒鸦群中。 —

They too, not recognizing him on account of his color. —
寒鸦们也没有认出他，因为他的颜色不同。 —

expelled him from living with them. —
他们把他赶出了寒鸦群，不让他与他们一起生活。 —

So desiring two ends, he obtained neither.
