The child thought for a moment: "I will first tell the person sitting on the plane to fasten the seat belt, and then I will hang up my parachute and jump out." As the audience laughed, Linklater continued to look at the kid to see if he was a clever man.

Unexpectedly, the child's two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, which made Linklater realize that the child's compassion was far beyond what pen and ink could describe. So Linklater asked him, "Why are you doing this?"

The child's answer revealed the child's sincere thoughts: "I'm going to get fuel, and I'm coming back!" ”

An example of looking at the essence through the phenomenon

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a mute, and whenever the new prefect took office, he would come and offer a wooden stick, which inexplicably provoked the beating of the government.

This year, Bao Zheng took office, and the dumb man came to offer the stick again. Bao Zheng thought, this person must have grievances, otherwise, he would be beaten every time, why would he still come to offer sticks. But this mute man could neither speak, nor read, nor write, so he could not know why.

So, Bao Zheng instructed his subordinates not to beat him no matter how the dumb man tossed. On this day, the dumb man came to offer the stick again, and Bao Zheng asked the hand stall to smear the pig's blood on the dumb man, making a very heavy beating, and then tied up the dumb man and pulled him to show the public on the stupid street. Then he instructed his subordinates to bring back if anyone cried out for the mute, and to bring him back for questioning.

Sure enough, an old man shouted that he was wronged while parading through the streets. So the old man was taken to the prefect's lobby.

The old man said, "This mute is the stone mute of our village, he can't speak since he was a child, but he can hear. His brother Shi Quan threw him out of the house after annexing his Wanguan family property.

The mute man used the method of offering a stick to the key cherry blossom yamen to complain every year, but every year he was scolded by the rod, and today he was beaten all over in blood, I really can't stand it today, so I cry out for the dumb man. ”

Bao Zheng immediately uploaded Shi Quan to the Yanei, but Shi Quan did not recognize this younger brother. No matter how much Bao Zheng persuaded him, it was to no avail, so Bao Zheng had a plan. He let Shi Quan go first, and then taught the mute to say

Later, when you bump into your brother, you will hit him. The dumb man looked at Bao Zheng in surprise, blinking and shaking his head, looking very scared. Bao Zheng said:

Don't be afraid, you just have to fight, and the official will call the shots for you. ”

A few days later, Shi Quan, who was beaten to the point of bleeding, came to complain, accusing the mute of disrespecting the law of etiquette and beating his brother.

Bao Zheng asked: "If your brother beats your brother, of course, you can't spare it, but if you don't beat your brother, it's a different matter." Shi Quan didn't know what the plan was, and insisted: "He is really my own brother." ”

After Bao Zheng heard this, he shouted: "Since it is your own brother, why do you monopolize the family wealth and not divide the family property to him?" Only then did Shi Quan understand that he had been fooled, it turned out that all this was arranged by Bao Zheng.

Don't be fooled by superficial phenomena, everything has its ins and outs, as long as you observe carefully and think carefully, you can grasp the essence of the problem.
