Wolves, lions and foxes

The aged lion king, suffering from rheumatism and unable to move in his bed, assigned his ministers to find a cure for his senile illness. It is impossible to explain to the lion king what it wants, neither dare nor cannot.

The minister had no choice but to recruit doctors among the beasts, and doctors of all shapes and □□ gathered in the palace, and there was an endless stream of ancestors and unilateral heirlooms, but in many court meetings, the fox could not be found, and it disappeared, where did it hide? In order to flatter, the wolf wantonly slandered the absence of the fox before the lion king went to bed. When the lion king heard the slander, he was furious and immediately ordered the fox to be smoked out of his house.

The fox was brought into the palace and brought to the lion king's bed, knowing in his heart that it was the wolf who was causing him to suffer this injustice. The fox said, "Your Majesty, what the minister thinks is very inconsistent with the facts. For example, I deliberately did not come to worship His Majesty, but in fact I went to worship the Holy Land and prayed to God to bless His Majesty's Eucharist recovery, and I went as I wished. During the long journey of worship, I met some learned gentlemen, to whom I mentioned that His Majesty was in poor health and had lost energy. They told me that all you lack is some calories, and that you should keep warm as you are old. So, as soon as you put on a freshly made hot wolfskin coat, your condition will be cured in no time. As long as you can see it, the skin of the wolf is a good material. ”

The lion king agreed with this proposal, and immediately ordered the wolf to be skinned alive and four feet to be cut off. As a result, the lion king not only put on a steaming wolf skin coat, but also made dinner with wolf meat.

Ladies and gentlemen, stop your disengagement and serve the king with all your heart, or woe will befall you. As far as you are concerned, if you attack each other, sooner or later the slanderers will end up with the wolf.

Two friends

In the kingdom of Monomotapa in South Africa, there are two true friends who share blessings and hardships. It is said that people here make friends much more genuinely than people in other places.

One night, while they were already asleep, a friend suddenly woke up from his sleep, got up from his bed, and ran straight to another friend's house, waking up his servant, because he felt that Oneiroi had entered the door of his friend's house. The friend who was woken up was very alarmed, he put on his clothes, tied his money bag, and said to his friend: "There must be something urgent to tell you about the visit in the middle of the night, is it all gambling money?" I have money here for you to take. If we quarrel with others, we will reason with us. I still have a sword, and you can take it if you need to. ”

"No," replied his friend, "I thank you for your warm interest, I don't want money or weapons, I just saw in my sleep that you were a little sad, and I was afraid that something had happened to you, so I hurried over all night." That's why I came in the middle of the night. ”

Who has a deeper friendship between the two? Such questions are not difficult to answer. A true friend can make you feel the beauty of life, his concern comes from the bottom of his heart, he makes you talk freely, pour out your heart, as long as it is about friends, even if it is a dream, a trivial matter, he will worry about you, sleep and eat restlessly.

Portrait of the sculptor and Jupiter

A piece of marble was so beautiful that a sculptor bought it. He thought: What is it carved into? Table, basin or idol? I'm going to carve it into a god, and I'm going to make it have thunder and lightning in its hands!" Yes! Men tremble and pray before it! God is the true Master of the earth!

The sculptor brought the character of the god-king Jupiter to life in his work, so that one could feel that the statue was really alive and real, except that it could not speak. Some people even say that as soon as the artist finished this work, he was the first to tremble in front of his work, and he was shocked to the point that his soul was scattered.

The sculptor is indeed very fragile, comparable to the poets of antiquity. In the face of the joy and anger of the gods he created with his own hands, he was really frightened out of his body! From this point of view, the sculptor is also like a child, because the child is always worried, and the other is thinking, no one should come to annoy the doll they play with.

Thoughts determine feelings, and the error of idolatry arises from this, and the existence of such erroneous ideas is not common among many peoples? People have always been so fanatical about the illusions they create. The sculptor Marion creates a statue of a beautiful woman, and doesn't it turn out to be his passionate lover? Everyone tries their best to make their dreams come true. Sadly, people are so indifferent to the truth, and always full of fantasies.

Treasure and the life of the two

There was a man who had lost his way to make money, had no way to borrow, and seemed to be hiding from a devil in his money bag, and he was destitute. Thinking about it, he only committed suicide by hanging the beam, but he lived for the rest of his life, because even if he didn't commit suicide, he would be starved to death, and starvation to death was even more uncomfortable for a person who didn't want to die. Having made up his mind, he went to a dilapidated house, drove a nail high in the wall, and hung up the rope he had with him. The wall was so old that it collapsed after just a few nails, but gold unexpectedly fell out.

It was a joy from heaven, and the desperate man immediately picked up the gold and brought it home, leaving the noose in the broken house. He didn't care to count the money, because money could save his life. Just as the lucky fellow was striding away, the man who hid the gold arrived, and he was stupefied when he saw his money gone. He muttered, "Oh, how can I get it, I'm still alive, but I lost this money!" I'm really anxious, if I had a rope in my hand now, I would really hang myself! As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the rope that had remained in the room, and in his rage, the man put his neck into the noose, and hanged himself by hanging himself. The only thing this man can comfort himself is that others have prepared the ropes for him, and just as he has prepared money for others, his fortunes have taken a turn for the worse.

There is seldom a person who does not cry before he dies, and he can no longer possess the wealth he has collected by frugality, and the wealth is prepared for thieves, his relatives, or the land on which he buries his belongings (for posterity), how can this not make him sad and weep? The Goddess of Fate is fickle, and her personality determines how satisfying and entertaining she is to host such a bizarre game of changing hands. This goddess had a whim, not wanting to see a person with a bad fate hang herself, but let the most unprepared person hang herself.

Ask for a thousand miles

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a king who loved horses very much, and in order to get a □□ horse, he promised to buy a thousand-mile horse for a thousand gold. In the whole world, there are many mules, horses, donkeys, and oxen that can pull carts and plows and carry people and packs, but thousands of miles are very rare. The people sent to buy horses went from town to town, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and three years passed, and not even a shadow of a thousand miles of horses was seen.

When a eunuch saw that the king was unhappy that he could not get the horses he had been dreaming of, he volunteered to say to the king: "Leave the task of buying horses to me!" Just be patient and you'll get your wish. Seeing that he was sincere and firm, as if he had a secret to victory, the king granted his request. It took 3 months for this eunuch to go around, and finally found out about the traces of Maxima. But when the eunuch saw the horse, it was dead.

Although this was a very regrettable thing, the eunuch was not discouraged. Although the horse is dead, it can prove that Maxima exists; Since there are indeed thousands of horses in the world, there is no need to worry about not finding a second, third, or even more horses. Thinking of this, the eunuch increased his confidence in finding Maxima. He immediately bought the head of the dead horse for 500 gold, and went back with the head of the horse to meet the king. When the eunuch saw the king, he said, "I have found a thousand horses for you!" The king was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the horse?" Bring it to me! The eunuch calmly opened the package and presented the horse's head to the king. It looks like the head of a horse of extraordinary magnificence, but it's a dead horse after all! The horse's bleak countenance and the stench it emitted made the monarch feel sick. Suddenly, the monarch's face became gloomy. He said angrily, "I want a live horse that can carry me on the battlefield, travel far and wide, and travel thousands of miles a day, and you pay 500 gold for the head of a dead horse." What is your intention in offering me the head of a dead horse?! The eunuch said unhurriedly: "Please don't be angry, listen to me in detail." The number of horses in the world is scarce, and it is not easy to see it in horse farms and horse markets. It took me 3 months to finally meet one of these horses, and I bought the head of a dead horse for 500 gold, just to seize a rare opportunity. This horse's head can prove to everyone that Maxima is not a fictitious thing, as long as we are determined to find it, we will definitely find it; Buying the head of a dead horse for 500 gold is equivalent to sending a signal to the world. This can show people the sincerity and determination of the monarch to buy Maxima. If this news spreads, even if there are thousands of horses hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests, the cape of the world, the horse breeder will definitely take the initiative to lead the horses when they hear that the king is really buying horses. ”

As the eunuch expected, in less than a year after that, several people led thousands of horses to meet the monarch.

This fable tells the story of a horse's head worth 500 gold that attracts the king's attention and attracts a flood of horse sellers, showing that in order to accomplish a great thing, it is necessary to have sincerity and patience first. And a person's determination to do things is not only reflected in words, but more importantly, it should be reflected in practical actions.
