Once, Zheng Banqiao passed a painting shop and saw an ink painting with his signature on it. He is very confused. He went in and asked, and the shopkeeper took out seven or eight dollars. At this time, he said nothing but took out his own seal. When the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. It turned out that this is a poor old scholar who was stranded here because of famine and had to sell paintings in the name of Banqiao for a living. Zheng Banqiao saw that his paintings were good and his life was really difficult, so he decided to help him. Three days later, he invited local celebrities to tell everyone that he found a "Mongolian teacher" who studied painting at an early age, introduced his master, and asked him to draw an ink bamboo face to face, which was praised by everyone. Since then, the "teacher" Zheng Banqiao's painting shop has been full of customers, and the old scholar's life has been greatly improved.

Socrates and the downpour

Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, was gentle, but his wife was very irritable and easily angry. Once, his wife asked him to do something, but Socrates forgot and went directly to teach the students. Just as he was talking about happiness, his wife rushed into the classroom angrily, spilled a basin of washbasin and poured Socrates into a "drowned rat". Socrates shook off the water and said slowly, "I just told you that after lightning and thunder, there will be a downpour." Socrates' self-mockery made the surprised students laugh.

Napoleon ruled the army.

1796, Napoleon was appointed commander-in-chief of the Italian army because he showed the excellent qualities of an extraordinary officer. When rectifying this army, which was in a mess from equipment to discipline, the short Napoleon looked up at the tall General Ogrod and said, "General, you are taller than me, but if you don't listen to the command, I will immediately eliminate this difference." This sentence quelled the noisy discussion, and more than 40 thousand officers and men immediately stood in awe of the little commander-in-chief

Philosopher in a bucket

The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes was a slave. At the auction, he said to the buyer, "If you want to buy a master instead of a slave, buy me!" " He lives in a broken bucket and calls himself a "citizen of the universe". Because I feel that I can't find anyone to respect, I often walk with the lights on in broad daylight. King Alexander went to visit him and said that he could meet any request. Dioseni, who is basking in the sun, said, "My request is that you go away and don't block my sunshine!" " Alexander is an enlightened king. Instead of being angry, he said, "If I am not the king, I want to be Diogenes."

Romulo strikes back at Vischinski.

On one occasion, the United Nations held a meeting in Paris, and Vischinski, head of the former Soviet delegation, debated with Philippine Foreign Minister romulo. Vischinski said contemptuously to the short romulo, "You are just a villain of a small country." For this reason, romulo delivered an impromptu speech entitled "I would like to be a dwarf forever" at this conference. He said: "Whether a person is useful or not has nothing to do with his size. However, being short may really be beneficial. Many great men in history were short. Beethoven and Nelson are only 1.63 meters tall. But compared with British poet Keats and philosopher Kant, they are only 1.52 meters tall, and they are already high. Of course, there is one of the most famous dwarfs, Napoleon. The Napoleonic era in history was probably caused by Napoleon's figure ... "Then, he jumped up and smiled and said to the delegates," Here and now, it is the responsibility of the dwarfs to throw the stone of truth at the eyebrows of arrogant giants-let them behave properly! "

Now there are foreign countries in China.
