the rivers joined together to plain to the sea, saying, "why is it that when we flow into your tides so potable and sweet, you work in us such a change, and make us salty and unfit to drink?" the sea, perceiving that they intended to throw the blame on him, said, "pray cease to flow into me, and then you will not be made briny."

小河们聚集在一起谴责海洋的不是。他们对海洋说:“为什么我们原本甘甜的淡水一流到你那里，就马上变成了苦涩的咸水，根本不能饮用？”海洋针锋相对地反驳道:“那么，就请各位以后不要再流到我这里了，这样你们依旧是甘甜、美味的。”

不要把错误都归咎于别人。
