赫拉克勒斯和密涅瓦的寓言故事
赫拉克勒斯有一次经过一条狭窄的路时，见到前面的地上有一个类似苹果的.东西，走到那里时，他便用脚去踩它。让他惊讶的是，那个东西不但没有碎，反而成倍增大了。他又去踩了一下，而且还用大木捧去打它。结果，那个东西迅速膨胀起来，堵住了整条路。他扔下木捧，不知所措地站在那里盯着看。这时，密涅瓦出现了，对他说：“朋友，随他去吧，你眼前看到的正是那个祸根。如果你不去理它，它就会依然小如苹果一样待在原地，可是，如果你采用暴力与之抗衡，它就会变成你看到的这个样子了。”

HERCULES AND MINERVA
Hercules was once travelling along a narrow road when he saw lying on the ground in front of him what appeared to be an apple，and as he passed he stamped upon it with his heel.To his astonishment，instead of being crushed it doubled in size；and，on his attacking it again and smiting it with his club，it swelled up to an enormous size and blocked up the whole road.Upon this he dropped his club，and stood looking at it in amazement.Just then Minerva appeared，and said to him，“Leave it alone，my friend；that which you see before you is the apple of discord：if you do not meddle with it，it remains small as it was at first，but if you resort to violence it swells into the thing you see.”
