If there are rats, they will eat my food, destroy my clothes, wear my walls, and gnaw on my utensils, and I will be hungry and cold, and will not it be more harmful than not having chickens? There are no chickens, but they don't eat chickens, and they are still far from hunger and cold, so why drive the cat away? "

Good luck to you, hopefully.

The Beggar Cat is a philosophical and narrative fable. It mainly talks about how people often have to pay a certain price in order to achieve a certain goal in life, and the key is to weigh the pros and cons of gains and losses and make correct judgments. Zhao introduced cats to eliminate rat infestation, but unfortunately this cat has the advantages of being good at catching mice, and also has the characteristics of being good at catching chickens, and the result is that "the rats are exhausted and the chickens are exhausted".

However, this Zhao man is better at settling accounts than his son, and would rather "eat chickens" than drive the cat away and suffer from hunger and cold according to his son's wishes. The following is a translation of the Chinese text of the begging cat, please refer to it.

Original:

Zhao people suffer from rats, begging cats in Zhongshan. The cats given by Zhongshan people are good at catching mice and chickens. For more than a month, the rats are exhausted and the chickens are exhausted.

When his son was afflicted, he told his father, "Kill all of you? His father said:

Right and wrong if you know. My problem is in the rats, and I don't care about the lack of chickens. If the husband has a rat, he will steal my food, destroy my clothes, wear my walls, destroy my tools, relieve hunger, I will be hungry and cold, and if I don't laugh, which chain is sick without chickens?

If there are no chickens, the chickens have ears, and the hunger and cold are still far away, so why go to the husband and cat? ”
