One quiet late night, the Lock awakened the Key and complained, “Every day, I work hard to guard the door for our master, yet he favors you and always keeps you by his side. I truly envy you!” The Key responded with dissatisfaction, “You stay home every day, comfortable and at ease, how peaceful! Meanwhile, I follow the master everywhere, suffering under the sun and rain. I envy you much more!” Once, the Key wanted to experience an easy life, so it hid itself. After returning home, the master couldn't find the Key. In his anger, he smashed the Lock and threw it into the trash can. Later, upon entering the room, he found the Key and said angrily, “The Lock is smashed, what use is there in keeping you?” With that, he threw the Key into the trash can as well. Meeting in the trash heap, the Lock and the Key couldn't help but sigh, “Our tragic fate today stems from the fact that in the past, we failed to recognize each other's value and contributions. Instead, we looked at the hills on the other side, haggled over trivialities, and were consumed by mutual envy and suspicion!”
一日深夜，寂静无声。锁唤醒了钥匙，带着些许抱怨说道：“我每天辛辛苦苦为主人看守家门，可主人却偏偏喜欢你，总是将你带在身边，我真羡慕你啊！”钥匙听后也不满地回应：“你每天待在家里，舒舒服服，多安逸啊！而我每天跟着主人，日晒雨淋，多辛苦啊！我更羡慕的是你！” 一次，钥匙也想体验一下安逸的生活，于是把自己藏了起来。主人出门回家后，发现钥匙不见了，气急之下将锁砸烂，顺手扔进了垃圾堆。随后，主人进屋找到了钥匙，气愤地说道：“锁都砸了，现在留着你还有什么用？”说完，便将钥匙也扔进了垃圾堆。 在垃圾堆里相遇的锁和钥匙，不禁感叹道：“今天我们落得如此可悲的下场，都是因为过去我们没有看到对方的价值与付出，而是这山望着那山高，彼此斤斤计较，相互妒忌和猜疑啊！”
