原文
楚有祠者,赐其舍人巵酒。舍人相谓曰:“数人饮之不足,一人饮之有余。请画地为蛇,先成者饮酒。”一人蛇先成,引酒且饮之,乃左手持巵,右手画蛇,曰:“吾能为之足。”未成,一人之蛇成,夺其巵曰:“蛇固无足,子安能为之足。”遂饮其酒。为蛇足者,终亡其酒。
白话参考(由 AI 翻译,仅供参考。父母可以按照自己的理解来讲、来录)
楚国有个人祭祀完祖先,把一壶酒赏给帮忙的门客。门客们商量说:“这壶酒几个人喝不够,一个人喝还有剩。我们比赛在地上画蛇,谁先画好谁就喝。”有一个人最先画好了,拿起酒壶正要喝,他左手拿着酒壶,右手接着画,说:“我还能给蛇画上脚呢!”脚还没画完,另一个人的蛇也画好了,一把抢过酒壶说:“蛇本来就没有脚,你怎么能给它画脚呢?”说完就把酒喝了。给蛇画脚的那个人,最后反而没喝到酒。
