Three Snake Leaves: Once upon a time there was a man who could not feed his only son. The son said: "Dear dad, your situation is very pitiful. I will increase your burden. I would rather go out and earn my own food." The father blessed him and said goodbye to him sadly. At this time, the king of a big country was fighting, and the young man went to serve with him on the battlefield. When he arrived at the front line, he fought a very dangerous battle. All the comrades around him fell in the hail of bullets. Although the commander was still there, the rest of the people had to flee, but the young man came out and encouraged them, saying: "We cannot let our motherland perish." So the others followed him and attacked, defeating the enemy. When the king heard that the victory was due to him alone, he promoted him and made him higher than everyone else. He gave him a lot of treasures and regarded him as the first person in the kingdom. The king had a daughter who was very beautiful, but also very strange. She once swore that if she died first, her husband must be buried with her, otherwise, she would not want him as her husband. She said, "If he really loves me, what will he do if I die?" On the contrary, she will do the same thing. If he dies first, she will go to the grave with him. Until now, this strange vow has scared away all suitors. But the young man was fascinated by her beauty and asked her father to marry her regardless of everything. The king said: "Do you also know what you should agree to?" He replied: "If she dies before me, I will accompany her to the grave. I love her very much, so I am not afraid of danger." The king agreed, So the wedding was very lively. They lived happily and peacefully for some time. Unexpectedly, the young princess became seriously ill and could not save her. When she died, the young prince consort thought of his previous promise and was afraid of being buried with her, but he had no choice. The king ordered guards to guard all the doors. It was impossible to escape his fate. On the day the body was taken to the royal vaulted cemetery, he was also taken down, and the gate was fastened and locked. Next to the coffin stood a table with four candles, four baguettes and four bottles of wine. When these things are finished, he will starve to death. Filled with pain and sorrow, he sat there, eating only a mouthful of bread and drinking a mouthful of wine every day, watching his death getting closer and closer. When he looked forward once, he saw a snake crawling out of the corner of the vaulted cemetery and approaching the body. He was afraid that the snake would bite her, so he drew his sword and said, "While I am alive, I will not let you be near her." He cut the snake into three sections. After a while, another snake crawled out from the corner. It saw the first snake dead, lying there and cut into several sections, and then went back. Soon it came back with three green leaves in its mouth. Then it arranged the snake's three segments in their natural order and placed a green leaf on each wound. Soon, the separated sections came together, the snake moved and came to life, and both snakes ran away quickly. The leaf was still on the ground. When the unfortunate man saw all this, he thought that this leaf had unexpected effects. It could revive snakes. Could it also revive people? After thinking about it, he picked up the leaves and placed one on the dead man's mouth and two on his eyes. As soon as it was placed, the blood in the blood vessels began to flow and flowed to the pale face, which turned rosy again. She breathed, opened her eyes and said, "Oh, my God, where am I?" He answered, "My dear princess, you are here with me." He told her everything that had happened and how she had come to life. He handed her some wine and bread, and she gained strength and stood up. They knocked on the door and shouted loudly, and the guards heard it and went to report it to the king. The king himself came down and opened the door. He saw that they were both lively and healthy, and was as happy as they were. All difficulties were overcome. The young prince-in-law took three snake leaves and handed them to an attendant and said, "Keep them for me and keep them with you at all times. Maybe they can help us if there are difficulties in the future." But After the princess was resurrected, a change occurred: all her love for her husband seemed to have disappeared from her heart. After some time, the prince-in-law wanted to cross the sea by boat to go to his old father. They got on the boat together. She had forgotten his great love and loyalty that saved his life, but she had bad intentions and fell in love with the boatman. Once, when the young prince-in-law was lying down sleeping, she called the boatman to come, and she caught the prince-son-in-law by his head. The boatman grabbed his feet and threw him into the sea. After the crime was completed, she said to the boatman: "Now let us go back, for he died on the way. I will praise you in front of my father, praise you, and ask him to let me marry you and make you inherit the throne."
"But a faithful servant saw all this. When people were not paying attention, he unhooked a small boat from the big ship, sat down to find his master, and let the murderers continue sailing. He picked up the dead man and took the boat with him. The three snake leaves beside him were placed on his eyes and mouth. With good luck, he came to life again. They used all their strength to row the oar day and night. The boat was as fast as flying and reached Lao Wang before the big boat. There. The king was surprised to see him come back alone, and asked what had happened to them. He heard of his daughter's crime and said: "I don't believe that she behaved so badly, but the real situation will soon become clear. He told them both to go into a secret room, so that no one could know about it. Soon after, the ship arrived, and the lawless woman came to her father, her face full of sorrow. The king said, "Why do you come back alone?" Where is your husband? "She replied, "Ah, dear dad, I'm so sad; my husband suddenly fell ill and died on the way. If this boatman hadn't been a good boatman and helped me, I would have also encountered misfortune. When my husband died, He is here and can tell you everything. The king said, "I will raise the dead." "He opened the room and called the two men out. When the princess saw her husband, she knelt on the ground as if she had been struck by lightning, and begged him to spare his life. The king said, "I will never forgive you. He is willing to die with you, and he will die with you." You saved him; but you murdered him while he was sleeping. You should get the punishment you deserve. "So the princess and the boatman were put into a boat with holes and put into the sea. Soon they sank into the waves. Potatoes and sweet potatoes: This year is a good harvest year. Like other crops, sweet potatoes also have a good harvest. A farmer The cellar where sweet potatoes were stored was already full. The farmer knew that the cellar was already overcrowded, but he had to force the last batch of sweet potatoes into it. He said to the sweet potatoes apologetically: "We are all together for now. Give it a try and make do with it for a few days! "The meaning of the farmer's words is nothing more than: in a few days, after eating a batch, the cellar will not be so crowded. I just don't have the nerve to say it clearly in front of so many sweet potatoes. After settling the last batch of sweet potatoes, I don't know. The farmer wanted to change places to rest, or he really had something to do. He was on a long journey anyway. Shortly after the farmer left, his youngest son came to the sweet potato cellar to get the sweet potatoes. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a commotion in the cellar: This is what he said. : “Squeeze slowly, okay! " Another said: "You stepped on my foot, but instead said that I squeezed you, unreasonable and unreasonable. "He shouted: "You blocked my sight and made me unable to see anything. Can you tilt your head a little? "The other side said again: "I have been squeezed by you until my neck is crooked. No matter how crooked it is, it will still be crooked! "When the farmer's youngest son understood what was going on, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking: Dad must have been confused by the harvest joy, and he must have suffered so many sweet potatoes crowded together. So he said loudly to the sweet potatoes: "Everyone, please be quiet. The crowding problem can be easily solved. The cellar where the potatoes are stored is very empty. Just put some of it there. Why bother to argue over such a trivial matter and ruin the harmony. "After hearing his words, the sweet potato grinning from being squeezed just now showed a smile. They wanted to express their gratitude to the farmer's son with applause, but unfortunately, no one could free their squeezed hands. Just do it. The farmer's son was so tired that he was sweating profusely and his back was sore. After a long day of hard work, he was rewarded with praises from the sweet potatoes. As he walked to the river to take a bath, he thought with satisfaction: Although he worked harder, But doing this not only solved the problem of crowding of sweet potatoes, but also did a great thing for my father. Usually, my father always said that he was too playful and too lazy to work. This time, besides praising me, my father had nothing to say. Talk about it! After being moved into the potato cellar, Sweet Potato left the noisy environment and suddenly felt as relaxed as if he had escaped from the sea of ??suffering. He couldn't help but stretch his arms, move his legs, and take a deep breath. He felt very comfortable. When the potatoes saw the new sweet potatoes, they felt fresh at first, because their ancestors had never lived with sweet potatoes under the same roof. They were determined to make a good start in their own generation, so the potatoes took the initiative. They greeted each other and expressed welcome, and then Tudou and Sweet Potato introduced themselves to each other and told each other stories about their families. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious. After a while, the Sweet Potatoes gradually felt cold, and it became colder and colder, until one Everyone couldn't help but tremble. When the potatoes saw this scene, they all couldn't help laughing.
A big potato said: "You are new here, so you're not used to it!" "It's not that you're not used to it, it's just that it's too cold here." Sweet potato asked, "What's the temperature here?" "Between 2℃ and 4℃ Right." Potato replied. "No wonder it's so cold. We only feel comfortable when it's around 15°C. Let's just let the little master raise the temperature to 15°C." Sweet Potato said. "No, no! 2℃ to 4℃ is our most suitable temperature." Potato immediately refused. "You should also take care of your friends!" Hongshu requested sincerely. "No, no. If we take care of you, we will be destroyed." "Then do we deserve to be frozen to death! Isn't it too selfish of you to just think about what's right for you?" Hongshu said, getting angrier and angrier. "This is not your home in the first place. You shouldn't be here at all. If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave!" Tudou did not give in. The fierce quarrel attracted the attention of the farmer's young son who was passing by. He took a look in the cellar and found out the cause of the quarrel. He laughed and said, "Okay, okay. What's the point of the quarrel?" Let me resolve the conflict!" "How?" Tudou asked. "Listen to me. I'll raise the temperature of the cellar to 8℃, okay?" "No, 8℃ is too high, we can't stand it." Potato said with a mouthful. "No, 8℃ is still too cold. Can't it be raised a little higher?" Hongshu asked shamelessly. "Okay, okay, let both parties give in a little bit and accommodate themselves! It's settled. Why are you arguing?" After saying that, the farmer's youngest son closed the cellar door and left without looking back. How can sweet potatoes and potatoes live together? As their conflicts become more and more acute, the quarrel becomes more and more intense. A few days later, the farmer's youngest son went to the cellar to get potatoes, but found that some potatoes had small bumps on them and started to turn green. He asked strangely: "What did you do? Are you sick?" "No." Potato shook his head. "Why are there so many blisters on my body?" asked the farmer's son. "It's not blisters. It's because the temperature in the cellar is too high, which makes us sprout." Potato said helplessly. After hearing what Tu Tu said, the farmer's son was shocked and immediately turned back to look at the sweet potatoes. Only then did he realize that each of the sweet potatoes had their shoulders and elbows wrapped around them, and they were shivering in the cold. Then he asked: "What's wrong with you?" "I, we are almost freezing, freezing, stiff." Hongshu stuttered so much that he couldn't even say a string of words. "Hurry up and save us!" Ersu said in unison after stopping their quarrel for many days. "How can I save you?" the farmer's son asked, not knowing what to do. "Hurry, separate us quickly!" Ershu said anxiously, "If it's too late, we will be completely destroyed." The farmer's youngest son patted his head with his hand, and seemed to understand, he said: "Yes. Yeah, temperature is a matter of principle for the storage of potatoes and sweet potatoes. How can we accommodate each other on matters of principle?" Then he patted his head regretfully and said: "It seems that dad is right. If you don't learn, you are really wrong." The farmer's son immediately lowered the temperature in the potato cellar to 3°C and moved the sweet potatoes back to the sweet potato cellar. Fortunately, they were moved in time, and most of the sweet potatoes were intact, except for the sweet potatoes piled on the surface that were "stiff-hearted" and rotten. As soon as the sweet potatoes returned to the original cellar, they shouted in unison: "It's still the warmth of your own home. 'Golden nests and silver nests are not as good as your own earthen nests.' Only now do I really understand this sentence." Weight." Flounder: There is no order in the fish country, and the fish are already dissatisfied. No fish cares about other fish. It swims left and right, doing whatever it wants. Some fish want to get together, so it rushes through the middle or blocks their way. The stronger fish uses its tail to hit the weaker fish and wants it. Swim away, or injure it. They said: "It would be great if we had a fish king who enforced the law here." So everyone discussed. Choose the fish that swims fastest in the tide and can help the weak to be the fish king. They lined up on the shore, the whale made a mark with its tail, and everyone saw that they were swimming together. The whale went like an arrow, and with him were herrings, seabass, perch, carp, and all sorts of other fish. The flounder also swam with him, hoping to achieve his goal.
Suddenly a fish called out: "The herring is coming up! The herring is coming up!" The flat, suspicious flounder was far behind and shouted impatiently: "Who's in front? Who's in front?" The answer was: " Herring, herring." The one shouted jealously: "Is it a naked herring? Is it a naked herring?" From then on, the flounder was punished and his mouth was crooked. Wall grass: There is an unknown grass on the side of the road, which bears many grass seeds. Each grass seed grows and matures rapidly, which means that this grass is about to become a mother. Mother Grass began to think about the future life problems of her children. She said to the grass seeds in her arms: "Baby, you are going to leave your mother's arms and live on your own. Where should you go? In my opinion, you will take root right here on the roadside. "Settling down." "Why do you want to settle down on the roadside?" the grass seeds asked their mother in unison. “Because our family has lived here for generations and has been loved by people, people passing by always look at us with admiration,” Mother Cao proudly told her children about her personal experience, “By the way. , people still use it to praise our grass spirit." Just at this time, a breeze came with a melodious voice: "Without the fragrance of flowers and the height of trees, I am a grass that no one knows, and I am never lonely. , never worried..." After hearing this, the little grass seeds smiled and narrowed their eyes in their mother's arms. Only the smallest little grass seed was different. It chewed its small mouth high, feeling uneasy all over. Restless. Mom said happily: "Did you hear it? This is praising the spirit of our little grass..." "Come on, mom!" The pouting little little grass seed didn't wait for her mother to finish speaking, and grabbed the topic and said: "They are scolding us, but where are they praising us? Are you stupid?" After saying that, the little grass seed also curled his mouth and looked at the other grass seeds in his mother's arms. "Why are you scolding us?" Mother Grass asked strangely along with other grass seeds. "Have you not heard that a literati recently criticized this team? He said that we can't just be a grassroots, and we can't be so unambitious. If we don't seek to make progress, we are cowards!..." Do you want to listen?" Mom seemed angry, "He doesn't even know how many bowls of rice he can eat. He wrote two trendy articles, and there is no room for him in the world. He can't help but talk nonsense..." My mother got more and more angry as she talked, "We, the grass on the roadside, cover people's dust, beautify the environment, and make the air fresh. How can we not strive for progress? How can we be cowards? I'm afraid our selfless dedication is his kind of vulgarity." Impatient literati will never understand! Honey, we can't listen to his nonsense. "No, I can't be a little grass that no one knows!" said the little grass seed stubbornly and firmly. "Then what are you going to do?" Mom asked seriously. "I want to be taller than a tree, an unattainable master that everyone can see and know that I am!" Xiao Xiaocaozi said, patting his chest. "How is that possible? Don't fantasize, proceed from reality, and do some ordinary work within your ability. You must know that nobility and greatness can also be revealed in the ordinary!" As he spoke, a whirlwind blew over, and Xiao The little grass seed grabbed Granny Feng's lapel, shouted: "Goodbye, Mom!" and then floated in the wind. The little grass seed held on to Granny Feng tightly, fearing that if she let go, she would fall back to the ground. The wind was blowing so hard that it had to close its eyes tightly; the wind carried dust that choked it, so it had no choice but to remain silent. Later, gradually, the wind became lighter, and Xiao Xiaocaozi made his request to Granny Feng: "I want to settle in a very high place. Granny Feng, please help me." The wind said: " Okay, hold on tight." When we reached a small hill, there was a stream at the foot of the mountain and a big tree on the top. The wind said, "It's already very high here, the soil is good, and there's enough water. You can settle here." Xiao Xiaocao. Zi took a look at the terrain and the big trees, and thought: "Although the terrain here is high, there are trees. No matter how tall I grow, I will never be taller than the trees." So, it shook its head and said, "No. , No, the place I am looking for should be: "I am standing there, higher than the big tree. The first thing people see is me, and then the big tree." "Oh, such a place is too rare." Grandma Feng said with embarrassment, while still slowly turning around in circles, searching and searching with the little grass seeds, but for a long time she could not find the ideal place for the little grass seeds to settle. "Stop, stop, stop!" Little Grass Seed suddenly shouted urgently.
Granny Feng opened her eyes wide and looked for a long time, but she didn't find the ideal place. She asked strangely: "Xiao Xiao Cao Zi, why did you stop?" "There," Xiao Xiao Cao Zi pointed at a wall excitedly. The top of the wall said, "I settled up there." Granny Feng looked at it and smiled. She said: "My dear, are you kidding me?" "Mother-in-law, I am serious, not joking. Look at how high this wall is. Even the big tree next to the wall is shorter than it. How ideal. This is the place. Please stop quickly." "No!" Granny Feng was a little anxious. "Why not?" Xiao Xiaocaozi was still stubborn. "It's okay if I say it's okay! I'm the one who settled here, not you. Should I listen to you or mine?" Granny Feng said patiently: "Listen to me. "Little grass seed, the soil on this wall is too thin, your roots can't penetrate deeply, and you will be in danger, understand?" "I'm not afraid, just send me here, you don't want to do anything else. Take care." Taking advantage of the moment when the wind happened to blow over the wall, Xiaoxiaozi quickly released his hands that were tightly grasping Granny Feng's clothes and landed firmly on the wall without saying a word. It observed its surroundings carefully, and was extremely satisfied with everything around it. Then a dreamlike miracle appeared in its mind: taller than trees, more fragrant than flowers...it was so happy that it laughed. "Baby, come down quickly. You can't take root there. It's too dangerous." The little grass seed heard her mother's call and thought she was dreaming. When she lowered her head, she actually saw her mother waving to him. Only then did I realize that the wall it had settled on stood right on the roadside of the meadow it had just left. Although it was so close to its mother, it still pretended not to hear its mother's warning. It raised its head high and ignored her mother. It rained, and the rain moistened the grass seeds. The little grass seed's brothers and sisters took root and grew beside their mother, and the little grass seed also took root on the thin layer of soil on the wall, sprouted, and soon grew into a tender green tree. The little grass in the sky compares with the big tree with its hands, and finds that it is really taller than the big tree. It is intoxicated by its own great initiative. At this moment, a sound came again: "Not as fragrant as the flowers, not as tall as the trees, I am..." Xiao Xiaocao let go of his throat without hesitation and sang in antithesis; "I am more fragrant than the flowers, I am not as tall as the trees, I am..." It is a grass that is worth being proud of..." A gust of east wind blew over, causing it to stagger and fall to the west. Fortunately, it fell quickly and reduced the resistance to the wind, so it was not blown to the ground. A gust of west wind blew over, and it quickly fell to the east. It was because it fell quickly that it was not blown to the ground. Although the little grass lives a life of being tossed in the wind on the wall, it thinks it has a high status and has always been complacent. It neither looks down on its brothers and sisters who have taken root on the roadside, nor on its unknown mother. It believes that it alone is the most remarkable and promising person in the world. Although on the wall, it can do neither big nor small things. One day, a strong wind blew. The little grass quickly fell down with the wind and tried its best to grab the thin layer of soil on the wall to survive the strong wind. Unfortunately, its roots were too shallow, and it was eventually uprooted by the strong wind. It fell to the grass on the roadside and lay down between its mother and brothers and sisters, unable to get up again. The mother caressed the little grass with distress, and the little grass asked her mother feebly: "Why didn't the strong wind uproot you?" "Because the soil on the earth is very thick, and our roots can take root very deeply and firmly. We all live in the same place." We are connected root by root, intertwined and united to resist the wind. Of course, the strong wind cannot uproot us,” my mother said earnestly. At this moment, the little grass seemed to understand some truth. It squirmed a little and seemed to want to dig its roots into the earth, between its mother and brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, its root is too short, too soft and too weak to penetrate. Everyone wanted to help, but they were unable to do anything. They had to watch sadly as it was exposed to the sun and slowly withered on the ground.
