The little monk grinds beans

In the past, there was a temple in the mountain, and there was no stone mill in the temple, so the temple had to send monks to pick beans and grind them at the farm below the mountain every day.

One day, a little monk was sent to grind beans. Before leaving, the great monk of the kitchen handed him a load full of beans and sternly warned: "You must be careful, the income in the temple has not been satisfactory recently, and you must not spill soy milk on the road." ”

After the little monk agreed, he went down the mountain to grind the beans. On the mountain road back to the temple, the more he thought of the great monk's fierce expression and stern admonition, the more he thought about it, the more nervous he felt. The little monk carefully carried a large bucket full of soybean milk and walked step by step on the mountain road, for fear that something would go wrong.

Unfortunately, just as we were about to turn the corner in the kitchen, a reckless benefactor came in front of me and knocked out more than half of the soy milk in the bucket in front of me. The little monk was very scared, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

When the big monk saw the soy milk that the little monk picked up, of course he was very angry, and pointed at the little monk and scolded: "You stupid! Didn't I say be careful? Wasted so much soy milk, go drink the northwest wind! ”

When an old monk heard this, he calmed down the emotions of the great monk, and said to the little monk in private: "Tomorrow you go down the mountain, observe the people and things along the way, come back and write me a report, and by the way, carry the beans and go down to grind." ”

The little monk shirked, saying that he couldn't do it just by grinding beans, so how could he have to carry soy milk and see the scenery, and make a report when he came back.

Under the old monk's repeated insistence, the next day, he had to reluctantly get on the road. On the way back, the little monk found that the scenery beside the mountain road was really beautiful, with majestic peaks in the distance and farmers cultivating on the terraces. After walking a short time, I saw a group of children playing happily in the open space on the side of the road, and two old gentlemen playing chess.

In this way, while walking and looking at the scenery, I will return to the temple before I know it. When the little monk handed over the soy milk to the big monk, he found that both buckets were full and did not overflow at all.

In fact, instead of caring about your own fame and interests every day, it is better to enjoy the happiness of every process and learn and grow from it in the efforts of school, work or life every day.

A person who truly understands how to find joy in life experience will not feel that his life is full of stress and worry.

The educational fable is shared as follows: Why do we have to learn such useless things in "Pebbles and Diamonds"? This is the most common phrase that the teacher hears when the students complain and question, and when this happens, we might as well tell the students such a parable:

One night, a group of nomadic herdsmen were about to set up camp and rest, when suddenly a bright light enveloped them, and they knew that God was about to appear. Therefore, they waited with great anticipation for the will of God from above, and God began to speak: Pick up more pebbles along the way, and put them in your horse coats Tomorrow night, you will be very happy, but you will also be very sorry.

After saying that, God disappeared and the herdsmen were very disappointed, because they had hoped that God would bring them endless wealth and health and longevity, but they did not expect God to tell them to do this meaningless thing. But, in any case, it was God's will, and although they were a little dissatisfied, they each picked up some pebbles and put them in their horse coats.

So they went on another day, and when night fell and they began to set up camp, they suddenly found that every pebble they had put in their mattress yesterday had turned into diamonds, and they were very happy, and at the same time they regretted that they had not picked up any more. Knowledge that we feel useless now is like a pebble that may become endless wealth in the future.

Dogs, roosters and foxes.

The dog and the rooster make friends, and they drive together. At night, the rooster jumps up the tree and perches on the branches, and the dog spends the night in the hollow below. When dawn came, the rooster crowed as usual.

When a fox heard the rooster crow, and wanted to eat it, he ran to stand under the tree, respectfully beckoned the rooster down, and said, "What a beautiful voice! It's so pleasant, I really want to hug you.

Come down and let's serenade together. The chicken said, "Go and wake up the watchman in the hollow of the tree, and I will come down as soon as he opens the door."

The fox immediately went to call the door, and the dog suddenly jumped up, bit him and tore him apart.

Moral of this story, which illustrates that a wise man is able to defeat his enemies skillfully and easily.
