Rocks and trees

A huge rock stands halfway up the mountainside, with several weathered cracks on its surface. A seed is carried by a bird to the rock and rolls down into a crack in the rock. A year later, it grew into a very small tree.

Rock was angry when he saw the little tree grow on his body. Xiaoshu said, "I'm so sorry, the birds brought me here, I don't have a choice, I'll be with you." ”

The rock said, "There is only one way for you to put down roots with me." Did you grow big? If you want to grow up, you have to stretch my body. You dream! ”

Xiaoshu said, "I want to grow up, but I don't want to stretch your body apart. Let's live in harmony. ”

The rock was dismissive of the small tree, and it concluded that the small tree did not grow much.

A hundred years have passed, and the little tree has really grown. Its roots crevices pierced down the rock and grew into a large tree more than half a foot in diameter. The soil in the crevices is small but fertile, and the soil in the crevices is increasing due to the tension of the roots.

The widening of the crevasse made the rock feel pain and threat, and it finally gave in to the tree. It pleaded to the tree: "Brother tree, I am impressed by your perseverance, but I beg you to change the way you grow, and you better not grow any higher, too tall to attract the wind." Moreover, your roots should wrap me in a different way. In this way, I have avoided the danger of splitting, and your footing has become stronger. ”

When the big tree heard this, he said angrily: "Brother Rock, you looked down on me at the beginning, and now you are afraid? I've only grown so much in a hundred years, and I'm growing too slowly compared to the trees around me. It's all because of you. ”

The rock said, "I didn't want you to grow on me, it was for myself and for your good. Now, we're tied to each other. I advise you so that I am not divided myself, and that your safety is not threatened. ”

Big Tree laughed: "Who would threaten my safety?" Is it rain, snow, frost, or wind? Rain, snow and frost are all my friends. The wind is just enough to wash me and tickle it. ”

The rock was very disappointed and said, "Brother Big Tree, you were very kind and humble back then, why did you become like this now when you grow taller and grow up?" ”

The big tree said angrily, "I don't need you to teach me a lesson! ”

From then on, the rock said no more.

After a few more years, the tree grew bigger and taller. He looked down on the hillside, and a sense of accomplishment came over him. Finally, one day, the rock could not withstand the erosion of the rain and the swelling of the roots of the tree, and completely cracked. Part of the crack rolled down the hill into the valley. A gust of wind blew, and the tree suddenly fell to the ground.

The dream is a coarse cloth garment

Influenced by his mother, an American teenager, Sclaus loved fashion since he was a child, and his mother was a small tailor. Despite his poor family, Sclaus became a great fashion designer. Sclaus often stole his mother's cut corners and pieced together them into all sorts of villain clothes. Because his mother had limited corners, and those corners were to be used for insoles, Sclaus was always reprimanded by his father. Sclaus felt that his creation* was not satisfied. One day, Sclaus made a garment from the scrap cloth that his father had removed from his pergola, which was used exclusively for the purpose of building a pergola. Sclaus walked down the street in clothes he made, and many people called him crazy. Even the mother felt that Sclaus was too much.

When Sclaus's mother saw that her son was obsessed with fashion design, she encouraged him to seek advice from Davis, a fashion guru who hoped that her son would become a successful fashion designer like Davis. That year, when Krauss was 18 years old, he arrived at Davis's fashion design house with a coarse cloth coat he had designed. When Davis's disciples saw the clothes designed by Sclaus, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, they had never seen such vulgar clothes! But Davis left Sclaus behind.

With Davis's encouragement and help, Sclaus designed a large number of coarse cloth clothes. However, no one was interested in Sclaus's clothes. Sclaus-designed clothes are piled up in warehouses. Even Davis was skeptical of his decision to take in Sclaus. But Krauss was stubborn, and he was convinced that his clothes would be popular, so he tried to ship the coarse cloth clothes to Africa and sell them to the laborers there. Because of its low price and wear-resistant, the coarse cloth was very popular with the laborers, and the clothes were quickly sold out.

Sclaus made those coarse cloth clothes into styles suitable for travelers, because of its vicissitudes and ease, it was actually very popular with travel enthusiasts. Sclaus came up with a number of styles, and people were amazed to find that the clothes were not only casual to wear, but also had a very special flavor, and could be worn by people of any age, regardless of the season. For a moment, everyone scrambled to wear the coarse cloth clothes designed by Sclaus. Nowadays, that kind of clothing has taken the world by storm, and that is denim under the brand of Claus and Davis.

A person, as long as he thinks that what he is doing is right, then do it boldly, even if your dream is just a coarse cloth, as long as you stick to it, the coarse cloth can become a beautiful fashion!

Practical truths

There was a young man, when he was twenty years old, he starved to death because he had nothing to eat.

He came to the presence of the Lord of Yama, and the King of Yama found out from the book of life and death. This young man should be sixty years old, and he will have a thousand taels of gold in his life, and he should not talk about starving to death at such a young age.

Hades wondered, "Could it be that the God of Wealth embezzled this money," so he called the God of Wealth over and asked.

The God of Wealth said, "I think this person's life is good." If you write an article, you will definitely develop, so I handed over a thousand taels of gold to Wenquxing. ”

Hades called Wen Quxing again and asked.

Wen Quxing said: "Although this person has literary talent, he is active by nature, and I am afraid that he will not be able to develop in articles." I think his martial arts strategy is also good, if he walks the martial arts guild is more promising, he will hand over one thousand taels of gold to Wu Quxing. ”

Hades called Wu Quxing again and asked.

Wu Quxing said: "Although this person is good at literature and martial arts, he is very lazy. I was afraid that it would not be easy to give him a thousand taels of gold from Wen Congwu, so I had to hand over the gold to the land lord. ”

Hades called the land lord again.

The land lord said: "This person is too lazy. I was afraid that he would not be able to get the gold, so I buried it in the field where his father had cultivated and came out of the house. If he is willing to dig a hoe, he will dig up gold. Pity. After his father died, he never touched a hoe and starved to death like that. ”

In the end, Hades sentenced him to "deserve it" and then handed over 1,000 taels of gold to the treasury.

This is a popular folk tale, which contains a very profound meaning, which is that no matter how great a person has good fortune and literary talents, if he is not willing to live a down-to-earth and diligent life, it is useless!

Another moral is. For those who are willing to practice, every step, every hoe is worth a thousand taels of gold. If you don't put it into practice, you won't be able to see the gold buried in the nearest place!

Cattle that were rumored to have been "killed".

The ox came back from ploughing the field and lay down in the pen, panting from exhaustion, and the dog came running to see it.

"Alas, old friend, I'm so tired." Niu complained bitterly, "Ming'er, I really want to rest for a day." ”

After the dog said goodbye to the cow, he met the cat in the corner. The dog said, "Man, I went to see the cow just now, and this big brother is so tired that he says he wants to rest for a day." It's no wonder that the owner has given it too much and too much work. ”

The cat turned to the sheep and said, "The cow complains that the master has given it too much work, and it wants to rest for a day, and tomorrow it will not work."

The sheep said to the chicken, "The ox does not want to work for its master, and it complains that it has too much work and too much work." Alas, I don't know if other masters are any nicer to his cattle. ”

The chicken said to the pig, "The cow is not ready to work for its master, but wants to go to another master's house." It is true that the owner did not feel sorry for the cow at all, and made it do so much heavy and dirty work, and beat it violently with a whip. ”

Before dinner, the housewife fed the pig, and the pig stepped forward and said, "Housewife, I have something to tell you. The cow's mind has been very problematic lately, and you have to educate it well. It doesn't want to work for its master anymore, because it thinks it's too heavy, too dirty, and too tiring. It also said that it was leaving its master and going to another master. ”

"I get a report from the pig," said the housewife to her master at the dinner table, "the cow wants to betray you, it wants to change its owner." Betrayal is unforgivable, what are you going to do with it"

"Treat the betrayer without mercy!" The master said through gritted teeth.

Poor, an industrious and honest cow, it was rumored to have been "killed" to death.

The trap should not be too deep

The rat always speaks ill of the frog behind his back, and the frog holds a grudge all the time. One day, the frog came to the mouse's house, tied himself to the mouse with a rope, and then jumped out of the house, and plunged into the depths of the pond. And just like that, the rat was dragged to the bottom. After a while, the corpse of a rat floated on the water.

Just when the frog was triumphant, an eagle swooped down, grabbed the mouse from the pond and flew to the tree, and the frog was naturally dragged out, it desperately broke free, but to no avail, the eagle quickly ended its life.

Don't dig too deep into the trap for others, because you yourself can fall into the trap at any time.
