One day two men were at work in a yard where ships were built. They
were getting a small piece of timber（木料）ready to put into the ship. In it
they found a little worm not more than half an inch long. “This piece of wood
is wormy,” said one of the men. “shall we put it in？“Yes, I think so,” said
the other. “It will never be seen.” “It may be that it will never be seen; but
perhaps there are other worms in it. By and by they may destroy the ship.”
“No，I think not. It is true this little piece of timber is not worth much, but
I do not wish to lose it, Let us put it in; we have seen only one worm.” And so
the bit of timber was put into the ship.
The ship was made and launched(下水). For ten years it did well. But
at last it began to grow weak, as its timbers were very much worm-eaten.

last there came a leak(漏洞) in the ship. There were two pumps(水桶) in
the ship, The men worked day and night, but could not pump the water out
as fast as it ran in. The ship slowly filled with water. Little by little it sank,
until at last it went down under the cruel(无情)waves. The rich cargo and
all lives were lost.
