原文：

王戎七岁的时候，曾经与几个小朋友一起出去游玩。他们看到路边有一株李树，结满了果实。其他孩子都争相跑去摘取，只有王戎站在原地不动。

有人问他为什么不去摘李子，王戎回答说：“这棵树长在路边却果实累累，必定是因为这些李子是苦的。”

大家摘下李子一尝，果然都是苦的。后来人们才知道，这株李树确实是苦李。

Wang Rong was seven years old when he went out to play with several children. They saw a plum tree by the roadside, laden with fruit. The other children hurried over to pick them, but Wang Rong remained standing still.

When asked why he didn't go to pick the plums, Wang Rong replied: "This tree is on the side of the road yet full of fruit, so it must be because these plums are bitter."

After the others picked and tasted the plums, they found them indeed to be bitter. Later, people learned that this plum tree was indeed known for its bitter fruit.

这段故事告诉我们观察事物要仔细，善于思考，不要盲目跟从他人。
