The son asked,"what do water and grass look like, mother?" She replied, "Water looks like the sky,bule and clear, while grass is green, fresh and nice."

　　After walking a day and a night, her son suddenly got excited and cried, "Look, mother, there's water and grass over there!"

　　"Foolish talk, child."

　　The water and grass were on the left, while the desert was on the right. Because the mother camel was blind in her left eye, she saw only a seaof yellow sand with her right eye.

　　After another day and night, the son camel found a second oasis, but his mother still did not believe him. She said angrily, "No, that's not an oasis. That's a desert. I've more dnowledge that you have, child. I'm not wrong."

　　Her son got angry. When he saw an oasis for the third time, he left hic mother without telling her. He ran to the grass and ate his fill. But his poor mother still walked on and on, hungry, thirsty and tired. What she saw through her right eye was the desert, the waterless and grassless desert, the waterless and grassless desert…

　　儿子问：“水和草地是怎么样，妈妈？”

　　她答道到“水看起来象天空，蔚蓝而清澈；草地是绿色的，新鲜而肥美。”

　　走过了一天一夜，她儿子突然兴奋的叫道：“看呀，妈妈！那儿有水和草地。”

　　“蠢话，孩子。”

　　水和草地都在左边，而沙漠在右边。因为母骆驼的右眼是瞎的，她只能用右眼看到一片黄沙的海洋。

　　又过了一天一夜，儿子发现了第二个绿洲。但它的妈妈还是不相信它，她生气的说：“不，那不是绿洲。那是沙漠。我的见识比你多，孩子，我不会错的。”

　　她儿子也生气了。当他第三次又看到绿洲时，他没有告诉她妈妈就走开了。他跑到草地上吃了个饱。

　　但是他可怜的妈妈还是走啊走啊。她又饥又渴又累。她用她的右眼看到的全是沙漠，没有水，也没有草的沙漠。

　　偏见比无知更可怕。无知能通过学习来改正，而偏见就只能靠苦难的经历来纠正了。
