The story of ants and wheat
Hello, my friend: The original title of Aesop's Fables is Essopos Story Integration, which is an allegory story circulated among the people in ancient Greece. After being processed by later generations, it has become Aesop's Fables. Aesop's Fables is the earliest collection of fables in the world. At the same time, Aesop's Fables is one of the most popular fables in the history of world literature. Aesop's Fables are mostly animal stories, which use animals as metaphors to teach people the truth of life and being a man. A few of them are mainly people or gods, with short and pithy forms, appropriate metaphors and vivid images, which have a great influence on future generations. They are satirical stories circulating among ancient Greeks. After being processed by later generations, it has become Aesop's Fables. Charcoal Burner and Bleacher The Charcoal Burner runs in a house. When he saw a bleacher move to live next to him, he went up to persuade him to live with him happily, and explained that it was more intimate, convenient and economical. But the bleaching merchant replied, "Maybe you are telling the truth, but it is impossible, because everything I bleach will be blackened by you." This story shows that different kinds of people are difficult to get along with. ---------------. They decided that whoever could make pedestrians take off their clothes would win. The north wind blew violently from the beginning, and pedestrians on the road wrapped their clothes tightly. When the wind saw this, it blew even harder. Pedestrians are shivering with cold and add more clothes. Tired of the wind, he gave way to the sun. At first, the sun shone mild sunlight on pedestrians, who took off their added clothes. Then the sun shone strong sunlight on the earth, and the pedestrians began to sweat, and gradually they couldn't stand it. They stripped off their clothes and jumped into the nearby river to take a bath. This story shows that persuasion is often more effective than coercion. ---------------. The farmer couldn't bear to betroth his daughter to the wild animal, but he was afraid of the lion and couldn't refuse for a while, so he used his quick wits and made a plan. When the lion came to ask the farmer again, he said that he thought it was suitable for the lion to marry his daughter, but the lion must first pull out his teeth and chop off his claws, otherwise he could not marry his daughter, because the girl was afraid of these things. The lion, blinded by profit and lust, easily accepted the farmer's request. From then on, the farmer looked down on the lion and was not afraid of him. When the lion came again, the farmer beat it with a stick and tied it up. This story shows that some people easily believe others' words and abandon their own unique strengths. As a result, they are easily defeated by those who originally feared them. ---------------. A man brought a little wolf and asked him to touch it and tell what it was. He touched the little beast and said, "I'm not sure whether this is a fox or a wolf." But one thing I know very well is that it is always unsafe to let this animal enter the sheepfold. " The story is that bad habits can be learned in years and hours. ---------------. Unexpectedly, someone passed by here by boat from the sea, saw the deer and shot him down with an arrow. When he was about to die, he said to himself, "I'm really unlucky. I guarded against the landing side, but the sea side I trusted brought me disaster." The story is that the facts are often contrary to our expectations. What we think is dangerous is safe, but what we believe is safe is more dangerous. ---------------. So, he pushed with all his strength, trying to push the jar down and pour out the water, but the pitcher couldn't push it. At this time, the crow remembered the way he used to throw stones into the pitcher with his mouth. With the increase of stones, the water in the pitcher increased gradually. Finally, the crow drank the water happily and relieved his thirst. This story shows that wisdom often trumps strength. ---------------. After reading it for a while, he left helplessly. As he walked, he comforted himself and said, "This grape is not ripe, it must be sour." That is to say, some people can't do anything, so they say that the time is not ripe. ---------------. He met an egret and asked him to take out the bone. The egret put his head in the wolf's throat and took out the bone, so he asked the wolf for a good reward. The wolf replied, "hey, friend, you can get your head back from the wolf's mouth safely. Isn't it enough? Why talk about the reward?" This story shows that the reward for doing good to bad people is to know the essence of bad people's bad faith. ---------------. Suddenly I saw a scorpion. He thought it was also a grasshopper, so he went to catch him with both hands. The scorpion raised his stinger and said, "Come on, if you really dare to do this, even the grasshoppers you caught will be lost." This story warns people to distinguish between good people and bad people and treat them differently. ---------------. The goat was so thirsty that he came to the well and saw the fox in the well. He asked him if the well water was good. The fox felt that the opportunity had come, and his heart exulted. He immediately calmed down and praised the well water, saying that it was the first spring in the world, sweet and refreshing, and advised the goat to come down quickly and drink with him. The goat, who just wanted to drink water, jumped down without thinking. When he finished drinking, he had to discuss with the fox the way to go to the well. The fox was ready, and he said slyly, "I have an idea." You put your front foot on the wall of the well, and then straighten the corner. I will jump into the well from your back and pull you up again, and we will all be saved. " The goat agreed to his proposal, and the fox stepped on his hind foot, jumped on his back, and then jumped out of the wellhead with a strong jump from the corner. After the fox went up, he was ready to escape alone. The goat accused the fox of not keeping his promise. The fox turned to the goat and said, "Hey, friend, if your mind is as perfect as your beard, you won't jump blindly before you see the exit clearly." This story shows that a wise man should think clearly about the outcome of things before he does it. ---------------. She thought that if she fed more barley to the chicken, she would lay two eggs every day. So, she feeds it like this every day, and as a result, the hen grows fatter and fatter, and she doesn't even lay an egg every day. This story shows that some people want to get more benefits because of greed, and as a result, they even lose what they have. ---------------. All the birds ran to the river to freshen up. Western jackdaw knew that he was not beautiful, so he came to the river, picked up the feathers from the birds, carefully inserted them all on himself, and then stuck them with glue. When the appointed date arrived, all the birds came to Zeus together. Zeus saw colorful Western jackdaw at a glance, which was particularly beautiful among the birds, and was ready to make him king. The birds were so angry that they plucked their own feathers from Western jackdaw. As a result, Western jackdaw lost all her beautiful feathers and became an ugly Western jackdaw. The story is that you can get the illusion of beauty with the help of other people's things, but when something that doesn't belong to you is stripped off, it will show its true colors. ---------------. The wolf said, "Oh, man, it's not you who scold me, but your terrain." This story shows that geography and nature often give people courage to fight against the strong. ---------------. Many people gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch, wondering what had happened. When they gathered there anxiously, worried about seeing something ominous, they only saw a mouse running out of the mountain. This means much ado about nothing. ---------------. Being good at asking Zeus how to return to earth. Zeus told him not to go together, but to visit the world one by one. Evil is very close to people, so I keep looking for them. Goodness comes slowly because it comes down from the sky. That is to say, it is difficult for people to meet good, but they are hurt by evil every day. ---------------. Because his teeth were too old to bite firmly, the wild boar ran away. The master was disappointed when he ran over and gave him a good scolding. The old hound looked up and said, "Master! It's not my fault. I can't. My brave spirit is the same as when I was young, but I can't resist the laws of nature. I was praised by you in the past, and now I shouldn't be blamed by you. " That is to say, birth and death are irresistible laws. ---------------. Dung beetles asked him in surprise why he was so hardworking. The ant didn't say anything at that time. Winter came, and the heavy rain washed away the cow dung. Hungry dung beetles went to the ant to beg for food. The ant said to him, "Hey, man, if you hadn't criticized me when I was working, you would not be hungry now." That is to say, despite the changes, people who plan ahead can avoid disasters. ---------------. He found a piece of Baoyu and said to Baoyu, "If your master finds you instead of me, he will pick you up with great care;" But I found you useless. I'd rather get a wheat than all the jewels in the world. " This means that what you need is really precious. ---------------. You are taller than him, you run faster than him, and you have big horns for self-defense. " The male deer smiled and said, "Boy, you are right, but I only know one thing. As soon as I hear the dog barking, I will run away involuntarily." It's useless to satirize those who are naturally timid and weak. -------------------------------------------------
