The Bear，the Monkey and the Pig

（单词翻译:单击）

    A bear，with which a piedmontese earned his living，was trying out on two feet a dance which he had not learned very well．Wishing to act like a man，he said to a monkey，“How is it？”The monkey，who was a connoisseur，answered，“Very bad．”
    “I believe，”replied the bear，“that you are not very kind to me．What，my appearance is not graceful¹？I do not do the step accurately²？”
    The pig was present and said，“Bravo！You are doing well．Amore excellent dancer has never been seen，nor will be seen．”
    The bear，on hearing this，took stock of himself，and in a modest manner，exclaimed thus：
    “When the monkey disapproved³ of me，I began to doubt；but since the pig praised me，I must have danced very badly．”
    Let an author keep this maxim⁴ as his gift：If the wise man does not approve，bad！If the fool applauds，worse！
