牧羊人与断角羊。有一天，牧羊人把一群山羊赶到绿草如茵的山坡上去吃草。山羊同往常一样一只只分散开，埋头吃着青草，而牧羊人则躺在一棵大树底下，吹奏他心爱的笛子。中午时分，牧羊人从一只小布袋里取出面包和奶酪，吃饱了肚子，又走到清泉边喝足了水，然后躺下睡觉。待牧羊人醒来时，太阳快要下山了。他赶紧爬起身吆喝着，把分散的一只只山羊召集起来。可是数来数去就是少了一只羊，最后，他看见那只掉队的山羊站在一块高耸的大岩石上。牧羊人冲着它吹了一声口哨，可是那只山羊就像没有听见一样。牧羊人不禁火冒三丈，从地上捡起一块石头朝那只山羊掷去，他只是想吓唬一下那只山羊，让它快点从岩石上下来。没有想到的是，牧羊人投掷得那样准，那块石头竟击中了山羊的一只角。也许是他用的力气太大的缘故，那只角顿时断成了两截。牧羊人一时不知所措，因为他知道，要是他的主人发现了，肯定会怪罪他没有尽心尽力放牧好羊群，不知会怎么惩罚他呢，说不定还会因此把他赶走。在绝望中，牧羊人央求那只山羊，说：亲爱的山羊，请你帮帮我的忙，不要告诉我的主人你今天的遭遇，要不我就完蛋了！小故事大道理全集你放心吧，我保证不会告状！山羊回答说，但是，我怎么能遮掩得住我的遭遇呢？所有人都会清楚地看到我的一只角断了。大道理：面对问题，我们要实事求是地对待，不要回避，不要做丝毫的掩饰与遮盖，那是徒劳的努力。
