Classic ancient fables 1
In a very ancient time, there was a dense forest. There is a stout tree by the stream in the forest. This tree has a history of hundreds of millions of years, but it has not fallen down so far. So this tree has a heart and becomes a wishing tree. It can sense all the wishes of animals and help good people realize their wishes. But the animals in the forest don't know that this tree has super powers. They always think it is just an ordinary tree.
An ugly bird lives on a willow tree in the forest. However, it is kind, because it is ugly, so it has no friends. On the lily, there lived a beautiful butterfly, but this butterfly always discriminated against and looked down on others because it loved beauty. There is a lotus leaf in the pond. The leaves of this lotus leaf are as green as jasper, but smoother than jasper. It is as green as a lawn, but it is more tender than a lawn. Lotus leaf becomes arrogant when it hears people's praise. So butterflies and lotus leaves aim at birds with their partners every day. Whenever butterflies meet birds and birds pass by the pond, they always say, "How ugly! How ugly! I have never seen such an ugly bird. Stay away from me. "
One sunny morning, a bird was walking on the grass when it suddenly found a butterfly fainted on the grass. It's very anxious. It flew home quickly, carrying a bucket to fetch water from the river, and then came to the grass and threw water on the butterfly. At this time, the butterfly woke up at once. When it woke up, it found that it was a bird. It quickly got up and stood far away from it and said loudly, "Go away, go away, ugly, no!" " The bird was very sad, sighed and left. At this time, the bird came to the pond again and saw a child trying to pick the lotus leaf, looking at the frightened expression of the lotus leaf. He thought to himself, "If the child picks it, won't the lotus leaf be dead?" No, I have to save it. "So, it immediately flew over and fought on the child's head, holding the child's hair tightly with its claws. The child tried to get rid of it, but he couldn't get rid of it. The child ran home at once. At this time, the bird flew down from the child's head again. Lotus leaf found a bird and screamed, "Go away, go away, don't wrinkle my skirt. The bird listened and went home in dismay.
Day after day has passed, and the annual beauty contest is about to start again. When the animals heard this, they came to sign up, and butterflies and lotus leaves also came to sign up. The bird also wants to take part in the beauty contest, but it is so ugly that it can't see anyone. How much it wants to be beautiful and take part in the beauty contest. Hope tree heard the bird's wish and realized it. The bird wants to see the lake and see how ugly he is. At this moment, a bird in a flowered skirt appeared in the mirror. It was stunned and stood there stupidly. It said in surprise, "Is this ... is this me?" The more birds look, the happier they are. It immediately signed up for the beauty contest and won the first prize. Butterflies grow old with anger, and the sad heart of lotus leaves is about to break.
The bird came to the stream excitedly. At this time, the wishing tree finally spoke. "Hi, hello bird, I'm a wishing tree. In fact, appearance beauty is not important, but inner beauty is important. If you have a kind heart and the most beautiful heart, I hope you can continue to help others.
Yes, only good people can realize their wishes.
Classic ancient fable II
Gan E went to the State of Qi to lobby the King of Qi. After walking for a few days, he came to a big river. Gan E couldn't walk any further, so she had to ask the boatman for help.
The boatman rowed the boat near the shore and saw Ganwu dressed as a scholar. He asked, "What are you going to do across the river?"
Ganwu said, "I'm going to Qi State to lobby Qi King for my king."
The boatman casually pointed to the river and said, "This river is just a small gap. You can't get through it yourself. How can you act as a lobbyist for the monarch? "
Gan Wu retorted the boatman and said, "What you said is wrong. You don't know everything in the world. They each have their own principles, laws, strengths and weaknesses. For example, a person with a conscience is honest. He can help the king, but he can't lead troops to fight for the king. A swift horse travels thousands of miles every day, which is valued by knights all over the world, but it is not as useful as a kitten if it is kept indoors to catch mice. This sword is a rare treasure in the world. Extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud, but if a carpenter uses it to cut wood, it is not as good as an ordinary axe. Just like you and me, rowing and driving on the river, I really lag behind you. But if you send ambassadors to big and small countries and lobby the monarch, can you compare with me? "
Hearing Gan E's words, the boatman was speechless and seemed to gain a lot of knowledge. He sincerely invited Ganwu aboard and sent Ganwu across the river.
It is too one-sided to accuse others of their shortcomings only by their own strengths.
Classic ancient fable story 3
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yu Boya was good at playing strings, while Zhong Ziqi was good at listening to sounds and distinguishing meanings. On one occasion, Boya was playing in the north of Mount Tai (now Guishan Mountain in Hanyang, Wuhan) when he was caught in a rainstorm and had to stay under a rock. Lonely and sad, he took out his guqin and played it. At first, he played piano music reflecting the continuous rain; Then, he played music like a landslide. Just then, Zhong Ziqi, the woodcutter, couldn't help shouting after a bunch of wild chrysanthemums nearby: "Good song! What a great song! " It turned out that Zhong Ziqi, who was chopping wood on the mountain, was also hiding from the rain nearby. He felt relaxed and happy when he heard Boya playing the piano. He listened for a long time, and when he heard the climax, he couldn't help but express his heartfelt appreciation.
Yu Boya heard the compliment, quickly got up and said hello to Zhong Ziqi, and then continued to play. Boya was absorbed in the mountains and was given the meaning of the tune. Zhong Ziqi nodded frequently after listening: "Well, it's so majestic, it's really like a mountain with a great height!" Boya thought about running water again, but his hidden feelings transcended the melody. After hearing this, Zhong Ziqi clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, just like a running river!" Every time Boya plays a piano piece, Zhong Ziqi can fully hear its meaning and interest, which makes Boya very surprised. He put down the piano, sighed and said, "Good! Very good! Your skills of listening to sounds, identifying directions and understanding meanings are really brilliant. What you said is exactly what I thought. How can my piano sound escape your ears? "
So they became bosom friends and made an appointment to meet again the next year to discuss the piano. But when Boya came to Zhong Ziqi the next year, he learned that Zhong Ziqi had died of illness not long ago. Yu Boya deplored his sadness, which was difficult to express in words, so he broke his guqin, never left his body, and never played the string again to thank his rare bosom friend.
This story tells us that knowing each other is more important than knowing each other.
Classic ancient fable story 4
Once, a farmer in the state of Wei was ploughing the fields when he suddenly heard a shock. He drank the cow and turned over the soil. It turned out that the plowshare hit a dazzling stone with a diameter of one foot. The farmer didn't know it was jade, so he ran to a nearby field and invited his neighbors to come and see it. When the neighbors saw that it was a rare jade, they had bad intentions. He made up a set of lies and said to the farmer, "This is an ominous thing. Keeping it will bring disaster sooner or later. You might as well throw it away. " The farmer couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He thought to himself, "What a pity to throw away such a beautiful stone if it is not a strange stone." The farmer hesitated for a while, and finally decided to take it home and put it in the corridor outside the house to observe it and see what was going on.
That night, Baoyu suddenly shone brightly, making the whole house look like day. The farmer's whole family was stunned by this magical scene. The farmer ran to find his neighbor again. Neighbors took the opportunity to scare him and said, "This is an evil spirit in the stone. You can only get rid of this strange stone at once! " Hearing this, the farmer quickly threw the jade into the field. Soon after, the neighbor ran into the wild and moved Yu back home.
The next day, the neighbor took this jade to Wang Wei. Wang Wei invited jade workers to evaluate its value. The jade worker was surprised when he saw this piece of jade. He quickly knelt down to Wang Wei and kowtowed repeatedly. Then he got up and said to Wang Wei, "Congratulations to Your Highness Hongfu, you have got a rare treasure." Although I have worked as a jade worker for so many years, I have never seen such a big and good jade. Wang Wei asked, "How much is this jade worth?" The jade worker said, "This is priceless, and it is difficult to calculate its value with money. There are all kinds of jade in the bustling cities of the world, but none can match it. " Wang Wei was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately rewarded the jade giver with 1,000 kilograms of gold, and at the same time gave him the salary of a doctor for life.
Cunning people get rewards for the jade they cheat, but kind poor people are still in the dark and have no ideas.
Classic ancient fable story 5
Zhuang Zi, who met him, said with deep feelings: "There are many Confucian scholars in Lu, but there is a lack of talents engaged in Taoism like Mr."
Zhuangzi listened to lujun's judgment, but disapprovingly held a negative attitude: "Don't say that there are few talents engaged in Taoism, and even Confucian scholars are rare."
Lu Aigong asked Zhuangzi:
"You see, almost all of Lu's subjects wear Confucian clothes. Can you say that there are few Confucian scholars in Lu? "
Zhuangzi mercilessly pointed out what he saw and heard in Lu:
"I heard that among the Confucian scholars, those who wear round hats are familiar with astronomy; Those who wear square shoes are proficient in geography; Wearing a ribbon is a jade plaque, and it is sober and decisive. " When Zhuangzi saw that King Lu was listening carefully, he expressed his opinion: "In fact, those Confucian scholars with deep attainments don't necessarily wear Confucian clothes on weekdays, and those who wear Confucian clothes don't necessarily have real talents and practical learning."
He suggested to Lu: "If you think my judgment is incorrect, you can issue orders and publish wills nationwide, and anyone who wears Confucian clothes without real talent and learning will be condemned!"
Lu Aigong adopted Zhuangzi's suggestion and issued orders all over the country. However, within five days, there were no more "Confucian scholars" in Lu. Only one person stood in front of the national palace in Confucian costume. Lu Aigong heard the news and immediately summoned. Lu Aigong saw the newcomer's good manners and asked him questions about state affairs. He asked a variety of questions, and the other party answered quickly, and he was quick-thinking. He is really a well-read man.
Zhuangzi learned that only one Confucian scholar was called into the palace by the monarch after Lu ordered him to answer questions. So he commented: "With the size of Shandong, there is only one Confucian scholar in the country. What talent can you say? "
This fable is full of satire. Real talent and practical learning are not dressed up by clothes, and form can't replace essence. When an idea, a theory or a profession is popular, some people will resort to deceit and seek personal gain by confusing the false with the true.
