A Thief found his way into an apiary when the Bee-keeper was away, and stole all the honey. When the Keeper returned and found the hives empty, he was very much upset and stood staring at them for some time. Before long the bees came back from gathering honey, and, finding their hives overturned and the Keeper standing by, they made for him with their stings. At this he fell into a passion and cried, “You ungrateful scoundrels, you let the thief who stole my honey get off scot-free, and then you go and sting me who have always taken such care of you!”
When you hit back make sure you have got the right man.
有一个贼趁着养蜂人不在，潜入了养蜂房，偷走了所有蜂蜜。养蜂人回来的时候，发现蜂巢空了，非常恼火，目不转睛地盯着蜂巢看了半天。没过多久，出去采蜜的蜜蜂回来了，发现蜂巢翻了，而养蜂人站在旁边，他们便去叮他。养蜂人一下情绪失控，哭道：“你们这些不知道感恩的坏蛋，让贼轻松偷走了我的蜜，然后却来叮花了那么多心思照顾你们的我。”
训诫：反击前确认是针对正确的人。
