Lưỡi dao của người Eskimo

nhúng dao vào máu động vật, rồi cắm trong tuyết

-> sói đánh hơi mùi máu đến, liếm đến khi chạm vào lưỡi dao, đứt lưỡi chết

-> con người: đừng bị chết bởi cám dỗ
-----

First, the Eskimo coats his knife blade (lưỡi dao) with animal blood (máu động vật) and allows it to freeze (đóng băng, đông lạnh). He then adds layer after layer of blood until the blade is completely concealed (che giấu hoàn toàn) by the frozen blood.

Next, the hunter (người đi săn) fixes his knife in the ground with the blade up. When a wolf follows his sensitive (thính) nose to the source of the scent (mùi hơi (của thú vật)) and discovers the bait (mồi nhử, cám dỗ), he licks it, tasting the fresh frozen blood. He begins to lick faster, more and more vigorously (sôi nổi, mãnh liệt; hùng hồn, đầy khí lực), lapping the blade until the keen edge is bare (trần (không được che phủ). Feverishly (luýnh quýnh, luống cuống, hối hả) now, harder and harder, the wolf licks the blade in the cold Arctic night. His craving for blood becomes so great that the wolf does not notice the razor-sharp sting of the naked blade on his own tongue (lưỡi). Nor does he recognize the instant when his insatiable (không thể thỏa mãn được, tham lam vô độ) thirst (cơn khát) is being satisfied by his own warm blood. His carnivorous (ăn thịt) appetite continues to crave more until in the morning light, the wolf is found dead in the snow!

Many begin using drugs, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or engaging in unsafe sexual behavior for the same reasons that the wolf begins licking the knife blade. It seems safe and delicious at first, but it doesn’t satisfy. More and more is desired, leading to a crisis or death.

Don’t be fooled by the temptations of sin. Like the wolf, we can get away with it for a while. Eventually, however, its true character is revealed. Sin leads to death and destruction. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord".
