In the south, there is a bird called "Meng dove", which weaves a nest with feathers and its own hair and ties it to tender reeds. As soon as the wind blows, it falls and all its eggs are broken. It's not that the nest is poorly woven, but that it shouldn't be tied to reeds.

Moral: the importance of laying a good foundation. Tall buildings rise from the ground and the foundation is solid. Have a solid learning foundation, otherwise it is useless to learn more!
