寓言故事|The Monkey and the Nuts

来源:www.huikebi.com 2025-02-26
A CERT人工智能N City desiring to purchase a site for a public Deformatory
procured1 an appropriation2 from the Government of the country.
Deeming this insufficient3 for purchase of the site and payment of
reasonable commissions to themselves, the men in charge of the
matter asked for a larger sum, which was readily given. Believing
that the fountain could not be dipped dry, they applied4 for still
more and more yet. Wearied at last by their importunities, the
Government said it would be damned if it gave anything. So it gave
nothing and was damned all the harder.
