Chapter 1036: Tortoise and Hare Race
"Be careful, don't let them bite you!"
Liu Zixia said softly to the two little girls.
Yueyue and Hanhan carefully placed the little turtles on the palm of their hands and observed them curiously.
These two Chinese grass turtles are not small, they lie on the palms of the two little girls, almost occupying the entire palms, and they don't have much room to move.
So, at this moment, they were slowly twisting their necks, looking curiously at the situation around them.
Yueyue lightly touched the tail of the little turtle on the palm of her hand, and she was shocked that it immediately retracted its limbs, head and tail into the shell, and the whole shell even shook with this.
"Oops!" Yueyue exclaimed, "Sister Hanhan, look, it's shrunk its head and limbs into its shell." ”
"Really?" Han Han looked at the little turtle in Yueyue's hand and said in surprise: "Yueyue, how did you do it?"
"I just touched its tail, like this......" As she said this, Yueyue reached out and touched the little turtle on Hanhan's palm.
Sure enough, just like the little turtle in her hand, it also shrunk its limbs, head and tail into its shell.
This scene made Han Han stunned.
Looking at the curious appearance of the two little girls, Liu Zixia and the three of them also became happy.
It seems that taking out these two little turtles has a very good effect!
"Zixia, you can do this, just that expression just now, and the tone of your voice, I thought you really found these two little turtles in the creek!" Lang Wenxing stood beside Liu Zixia and muttered quietly.
"Lao Lang, have you forgotten that Zixia is also an excellent director and actor?"
Zhang Minghao whispered in the back: "If he doesn't even have this acting skill, how can he mix in the entertainment industry?"
"Brother Xing and Brother Hao all say that art comes from life, and I think this sentence is still very true. ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Liu Zixia hurriedly said: "Look, in order to make Yueyue happy, I acted like this, doesn't it seem like a very life?"
"Yes, it's still up to you!" Zhang Minghao gave a thumbs up.
"After all, isn't it still my credit?" Lang Wenxing said dissatisfiedly: "If I hadn't bought them back at the flower, bird, fish and insect market, they wouldn't have been so happy." ”
"Okay, good, you are right, it's all your credit!"
Liu Zixia covered his head a little helplessly, this old man, why is he so careful sometimes?
Looking at the calm expression on Zhang Minghao's face next to him, Liu Zixia knew that people must have already adapted to it!
The friendship of these decades is deep!
......
Liu Zixia and the others were still cleaning up the food on the picnic cloth in the shade.
Yueyue and Hanhan were teasing the two little turtles on the side.
The two girls were really good at playing, so they found a few larger boxes and connected them, and then shot them in two rows, so that the two turtles started at the same time, so that they could compare their speeds.
Lang Wenxing and the others looked interesting, so they leaned over to take a look.
Lao Lang and Zhang Minghao are still divided into two teams, Lang Wenxing supports Hanhan's little turtle, Zhang Minghao supports Yueyue's little turtle, in order to make them run first, various means are frequent.
What poured water on the bodies of two baby turtles, or patted their shells to urge...... In the end, Lang Wenxing and Zhang Minghao all hit the rest of the dishes.
Both of them took the meat and bones to tempt the two little turtles, just so that they could run faster.
The result?
Farts are used, and the two little turtles are still slow, lying forward at their own pace.
Liu Zixia was speechless, and felt that Lang Wenxing and Zhang Minghao, like Yueyue, were children!
If it's not a child, who will play Wang Ba as an adult?
Shaking his head, Liu Zixia said to Yueyue: "Yueyue, dad will tell you a story." ”
Tale?
Yueyue and Hanhan, who were looking at the two little turtles expectantly, raised their heads at the same time when they heard Liu Zixia's words.
In the past few years, the two little girls have listened to the stories told by Liu Zixia the most.
Because the story told by Liu Zixia is very good, and it can also make them learn a lot of truths, they like to listen to it very much.
"What's the story, Dad?" Yueyue turned her head to look at Liu Zixia, her face full of curiosity.
Hanhan's appearance is similar to Yueyue.
"No, Zixia, what story are you telling at this time?"
Lang Wenxing was a little dissatisfied, he was so easy to find things that interested him as his daughter, but he was interrupted by Liu Zixia.
Zhang Minghao didn't feel much of it, but he just felt that he had lost the opportunity to win Lang Wenxing.
Despite this opportunity...... It's just two little turtles racing!
"A little story. Liu Zixia smiled and said, "It's also a story about racing, do you want to listen to it?"
"Yes, yes, we want to listen!" Yueyue and Hanhan said in unison.
"Okay!" Liu Zixia nodded and said, "This little story is called "Tortoise and Rabbit Race". ”
"Tortoise and Hare Race?"
Hearing this name, Lang Wenxing immediately said: "Zixia, your story is not reasonable at all! Just how slow this little turtle runs, at best, it is just a little faster than an ant, but the rabbit is notoriously fast, how can the turtle outrun the rabbit?"
"Old man, this is a fairy tale, what are you really talking about?" Zhang Minghao immediately answered: "Then "The Ugly Duckling" is not reasonable, when have you ever seen a duck talking to a human?"
"Uh......" Lang Wenxing was speechless by Zhang Minghao's refutation, and he didn't know what to say.
Because what Comrade Lao Zhang said is indeed right, as soon as he says it, it is a story, why should he be more truthful?
Liu Zixia didn't care what the two were talking about, and continued: "In the big forest, there are a lot of small animals, larks, deer, and bears...... There are also rabbits and tortoises.
This rabbit has four long legs, and it jumps and jumps, and it can run fast.
The turtle also grew four legs, and crawled, crawled, and crawled very slowly.
One day, the rabbit met the tortoise and saw that the tortoise was crawling so slowly, so he wanted to tease him......
When the rabbit looked back, the tortoise had only climbed a short distance, and he thought to himself: what a joke that the tortoise dared to race against the hare...... The tortoise had already climbed under the tree, and the hare was in a hurry to catch up, but it was too late, and the tortoise had already won!"
The story told by Liu Zixia is from "Aesop's Fables", which was not included in the previously released "Yueyue's Goodnight Story".
In addition to this one, there are many fables, and Liu Zixia feels that it is better to keep some, so as not to have no good stories to tell when he sleeps Yueyue in the future.
After the whole story was finished, Liu Zixia smiled at Yueyue and Lang Wenxing, and asked, "The rabbit runs fast, the turtle runs slowly, why did the turtle win the rabbit in this competition?"
yes, why did the rabbit lose and the tortoise win?
Hearing Liu Zixia's words, Lang Wenxing and Zhang Minghao somewhat understood a little bit of the truth.
But for Yueyue and Hanhan, this problem is a little difficult.
"Because, because the rabbit is asleep!" Yueyue almost blurted out, "If the rabbit doesn't sleep, he must have won the tortoise." ”
"That's right!" Han Han also said: "That rabbit is too lazy, why doesn't he wait until he reaches the finish line to sleep?"
The two little girls had a very simple idea, and it seemed to them that if the rabbit had not slept, this would not have happened.
"Brother Xing, Brother Hao, what do you think?" Liu Zixia just smiled at Yueyue and Hanhan, and did not comment, but shifted the target to Lang Wenxing and Zhang Minghao.
"The whole story is very easy to understand. ”
Lang Wenxing said in a deep voice: "On the surface, it was because the rabbit was too arrogant and felt that he could win the tortoise, so he took a break halfway, but in fact, I think the steady progress of the tortoise is the key to victory." ”
"I don't see it that way. ”
Zhang Minghao retorted: "I think the rabbit is too arrogant, just like Hanhan said just now, if it can be patient and not so blindly confident, even if the turtle behind it is in hot pursuit, it will definitely win." ”
After speaking, Zhang Minghao and Lang Wenxing looked at Liu Zixia together, hoping to get an answer from him.
Facing the gaze of four pairs of eyes, Liu Zixia smiled slightly and said: "Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people backward." We must do things in a down-to-earth manner and don't give up halfway, so that we can achieve success!"
Pride and half-assed, talking about rabbits, doing things in a down-to-earth way, talking about turtles!
Liu Zixia wants to use this story to tell the two little girls that they can't be proud at any time, they must be down-to-earth and persistent!
This kind of truth may be a little difficult for the current Yueyue and Hanhan because they are too young, but I believe that when they grow up, they will be able to understand this story.
However, according to the character of Yueyue and Hanhan, they will not give up so simply.
I saw that Yueyue began to launch a coquettish offensive.
"Dad, what is humility and pride?" Yueyue tilted her little head and looked at Liu Zixia with a cute and cute face.
"Humility?"
Hearing Yueyue's question, Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This humility is modesty, that is, not complacent, not arrogant, like in the story that Dad just told, the rabbit is not modest, so he lost to the turtle." ”
"That'...... Is that turtle an open mind?" Han Han asked curiously.
"He's stupid!" As soon as Han Han's voice fell, Lang Wenxing said: "I know that I can't do it, it's not stupid, what is it?"
"Hey, old man, that's not right what you're saying. Zhang Minghao said: "How do you know that the turtle will lose? Before Zixia finished telling the story, did you also think that the turtle would lose?"
Lang Wenxing didn't speak, but looking at the expression on his face, he thought so.
"So, you can't make a decision until the end of the matter. ”
Liu Zixia turned his words, looked at Yueyue and Han Han and said, "You two remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must stick to the end, and you can't give up easily." ”
"Well, we remember!"
Yueyue and Hanhan glanced at each other and nodded seriously.
