He told his mom his experience on the way.His mother said,“My child,it’s not enough only to listen to others.You’d better go and try yourself.Then you’ll know what to do.”小馬把路上的經(jīng)歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：“孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了?！?/p>

On the other side of the river,the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as deep as the squirrel told him.原來河水既不像老牛說的那樣淺，也不像松鼠說的那樣深。
