One, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is one of the ancient Greek fables of Aesop.

A wolf once put on sheep's clothing and was put in the sheepfold by the shepherd as a sheep with other sheep, so that he could eat the sheep as he pleased. But good things don't last long, because one day the shepherd went into the sheepfold at night and recognized the wolf. The shepherds hung the wolf upside down from a tree, still wearing sheep's clothing, to warn the other wolves who were moving around.

A few shepherds passed by and stopped to ask the shepherd why he had done this to the sheep. When they got closer, they realized that it was not a sheep at all, but a wolf.

The shepherd said:"That's how I do with the wolf, even if it's in sheep's clothing. "

Quit when the going gets tough. Story] Legend has it that in ancient times there were two mountains, one called Taihang Mountain and the other called Wangwu Mountain. There lived an old man named Yugong in Beishan, who was almost 90 years old. Every time he went out, he was blocked by these two mountains, and he had to go around in a big circle before he could go south.

He gathered the whole family together and said, "I am ready to work with you to spend my whole life to remove Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain and build a road to the south. Do you guys say yes? ”

Everyone agreed, but Yugong's wife raised a question: "The combined strength of all of us can't move a small mountain, so how can we move the two mountains of Taihang and Wangwu?" Besides, what about putting the dirt and stones that were dug up into the **? ”

After discussion, everyone thought that the excavated earth and stones could be thrown to the seashore in the east and the farthest place in the north.

The next day, as soon as the sun was in the morning, Kong Heng Yugong took his children and grandchildren to start digging the mountain. Although the family doesn't dig much every day, they still keep digging. I don't go home once until the change of seasons.

When an old man named Zhisu learned of this, he came to persuade Yugong, saying, "You are so unwise to do this, how can you dig these two mountains flat with your limited energy?" The fool said:

You're too stubborn to enlighten, and even if I'm dead, my son is still here. The son died, and there was a grandson, and the grandson gave birth to another child, and the child gave birth to a son. There is no end to the children and grandchildren, but the mountains will not grow any higher, so why can't they be dug flat?

At that time, the mountain god saw that Yugong and they were digging the mountain, so he reported it to God. Moved by the spirit of Yu Gong, God sent two Hercules down to earth and carried the two mountains away. Since then, there are no more mountains here.
