《佛說譬喻經》中有一則故事：從前，有一個人在曠野中走著，突然被一頭凶惡的大象追趕。
There is such a story in the Parable Sutra: Once a man was travelling in the wilderness. Suddenly he was chased by a rampageous elephant.
游人慌不擇路地找到一口廢井，井旁有一棵大樹，游人沿著樹根爬進井中。但卻發現有黑白兩只老鼠正在啃咬著樹根。井的四邊更有四條毒蛇，井底並盤踞著一條毒龍。
The traveler then fled in whatever way available and found a deserted well by which there was a big tree. Having descended into the well along tree roots, the traveler realized that two rats, black and white, were gnawing the tree roots, and each of the four sides of the well was inhabited by a venomous snake. As for the bottom of the well, it was occupied by a deadly dragon.
就在這個時候，樹上的蜂窩滴下五滴甘美的蜂蜜，游人嘗著這蜂蜜，頓時忘記了剛才的恐懼。但由於樹身晃動，令蜜蜂飛來刺蜇游人。這時不知從哪裡來的一團野火，燒著了這棵大樹。
At this very moment, five drops of luscious honey dripped down from a beehive in the tree. The traveler momentarily forgot his fear while he was indulging in the honey. However the wobble of tree provoked the bees to sting the traveler. Then a wild fire coming from nowhere was burning the tree.
故事中，「曠野」比喻無明，「游人」比喻凡夫眾生，「大象」比喻無常，「井」比喻生死的此岸，「樹根」比喻命根，「黑白兩只老鼠」寓意晝夜。
In this story, the wilderness is a metaphor for ignorance, and the traveler is a metaphor for sentient beings. The elephant represents impermanence, and the well represents the stage before liberation in the course of samsara. Then the tree is analogous to our life, and the two rats of black and white are analogous to night and day.
「老鼠啃咬樹根」比喻生命念念都在消逝中，「四條毒蛇」象征組成人體的地、水、火、風四大元素，「蜂蜜」比喻財、色、名、食、睡五種欲望，「蜜蜂」比喻不正確的思想，「野火」比喻衰老和疾病，「毒龍」象征死亡。
Rats'gnawing of the tree roots means our life is elapsing moment by moment, and the four venomous snakes represent the four great elements that make up our body, i.e., earth, water, fire and wind. The honey is compared to the five desires for wealth, lust, fame, fine food, and sleep. The bees represent wrong mindfulness, and the wild fire represents aging and sickness. As for the deadly dragon, it is a metaphor for death.
國王聽了佛陀說的這個故事後，對生死輪迴深深生起了厭離之心。
After hearing this story from the Buddha, the king developed a deep sense of renunciation to samsara.
