"The Owl Moves".

Western Han Liu Xiang "Saying Yuan".

The owl meets the turtledove. The turtledove asked, "Are you going to **?" The owl said, "I'm going to move to the east." ”

The turtledove asked, "Why?" The owl said, "The people in the west hate my calls, so I want to move out." ”

"If you can change your voice, you can move away," said Ikaruga. Otherwise, move to the east, where it is. People don't like your voice, too. ”

Comments: For your own shortcomings and mistakes, don't choose an attitude of evasion, but have the courage to correct them.

"Wild Springs".

Southern Dynasty Shen Yue's Book of Song

Once upon a time, there was a country with a river called "Wild Spring", and the people of the country drank the water in the wild spring, and they all went crazy without exception.

Only the monarch drank the water of the well, and did not go crazy. But because all the people of the country are crazy, they think that the king is an abnormal madman.

Everyone discussed how to cure the monarch's "madness", so they arrested the monarch and gave him acupuncture and medicine, and used all methods.

The king was tortured to the point that he could not stand it, so he took the water of the spring of madness and drank it, and as a result, the king, like everyone else, also fell ill with madness. In this way, there is no different person in the country, and the whole country is very happy.

"Zhao People Suffer from Rats".

Ming Liu Ji, "Yu Ion".

A family in Zhao State was afflicted by rats, so they went to Zhongshan to borrow a cat, and the Zhongshan people gave him one.

This cat is very good at catching mice, but also likes to catch chickens to eat.

A month later, the rats were caught and the chickens were eaten.

His son thought the cat was a scourge and said to his father, "Why don't you get rid of it?" ”

My father said, "Our woe is that we have rats in our house, not that we don't have chickens." Rats steal food, bite clothes, burrow through walls, and gnaw furniture, and if we continue to starve, we will starve and freeze, which is worse than no chickens!

Without chickens, we just don't eat chicken, and we're far from starving and cold! Why get rid of cats? ”

"No Reward".

Ming Liu Ji, "Yu Ion".

There was a merchant on the south side of Jishui, and when the boat capsized while crossing the river, he shouted for help.

A fisherman sailed to save him, but before the boat could reach it, the merchant cried out, "I am a rich man, save me, and I will give you a hundred taels of silver!" ”

The fisherman rescued him ashore, but he only gave the fisherman ten taels of silver. The fisherman said, "You just said a hundred taels, why do you only give ten taels now?" ”

The merchant was furious: "How much money do you make a day of fishing?" When you get ten taels of silver at once, are you not satisfied? The fisherman walked away in frustration.

After some time, the merchant crossed the river and the boat hit a stone and sank, and the fisherman was again present. Someone asked, "Why don't you go and save people?" ”

The fisherman said, "This is a man whose words don't count." As a result, the merchant was drowned.
