Hercules And The Wagoner - Shannon Wright (香农·莱特)[00:00:00]
Hercules and the Wagoner[00:00:00]
A farmer was driving his wagon along a miry country road after a heavy rain[00:00:02]
The horses could hardly drag the load through the deep mud[00:00:08]
And at last came to a standstill[00:00:12]
When one of the wheels sank to the hub in a rut[00:00:13]
The farmer climbed down from his seat and stood beside the wagon looking at it[00:00:18]
But without making the least effort to get it out of the rut[00:00:23]
All he did was to curse his bad luck[00:00:27]
And call loudly on Hercules to come to his aid[00:00:30]
Then it is said Hercules really did appear saying[00:00:34]
Put your shoulder to the wheel man and urge on your horses[00:00:38]
Do you think you can move the wagon[00:00:42]
By simply looking at it and whining about it[00:00:44]
Hercules will not help unless you make some effort to help yourself[00:00:48]
And when the farmer put his shoulder to the wheel[00:00:54]
And urged on the horses[00:00:56]
The wagon moved very readily[00:00:58]
And soon the farmer was riding along in great content[00:01:01]
And with a good lesson learned[00:01:04]
Self help is the best help[00:01:07]
Heaven helps those who help themselves[00:01:10]
