有一次，一只螃蟹离开海边，在内陆某个地方的草地上定居下来，那里看起来很漂亮，有青青的草地，是个养分充足的好地方。然而，一只饥饿的狐狸走过来，看见螃蟹并捉住了他，就在狐狸将要吃掉他之前，螃蟹说：“我真是活该！我没有理由要离开海边那个天然的家，在这里定居，好像我属于这片土地一样。”
知足才能常乐。

A crab once left the seashore and went and settled in a meadow some way inland, which looked very nice and green and seemed likely to be a good place to feed in. But a hungry fox came along and spied the crab and caught him. Just as he was going to be eaten up, the crab said, "This is just what I deserve, for I had no business to leave my natural home by the sea and settle here as though I belonged to the land."
Be content with your lot.
( Aesop's Fables )
