| 释义 | {{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}} "The Moth and the Star" is a fable by James Thurber, printed in the story collection Fables for Our Time in 1940. In the fable, a young moth aspires to fly up to a star, and keeps trying to reach that impossible goal. The other moths laugh at him. They tell him he should have a realistic goal, such as flying to a candle. Indeed, they all fly to candles and are burnt to ashes. The dreamy, unrealistic young moth keeps focused on flying to a star. He lives a long and happy life. {{DEFAULTSORT:Moth And The Star, The}} 5 : 1940 short stories|American short stories|Fables|Works by James Thurber|Fictional butterflies and moths |
