The cranes were eating grain from his field, so the farmer set a trap and caught several of them.

鹤群在农夫的田地里吃他的谷物，所以农民设一个陷阱并抓住了其中的几个。

Among them was a stork. “You can see I don’t belong here," said the stork. “I’m a law- abidingbird. Please let me go."

其中有一只鹳。它对农夫说：“你看，我并不属于鹤群，我是一只循规蹈矩的好鸟，请放我走吧。”

You may well be what you claim to be," said the farmer. “But I caught you along with these robbers, so you will have to hang with them."

农夫说：“你可能是只好鸟，但是我抓到你和这些强盗一起，所以你必须和他们一起被绞死。”

Moral: You are judged by the company you keep.

寓意：你和什么样的人在一起别人就怎么评价你。

中国古代有“君子和而不群。”和“人以类聚，物以群分。”的说法

伊索寓言版本的《物以类聚》也强调不能和坏的群体一起，不然自己也会被认为是坏的

有时候家长也会告诉孩子别跟学习不好的孩子一起玩儿，怕影响成绩，古时候孟母之所以三迁也是这个道理
