Aesop s Fables of the Shepherd and the Lost Cow

I read Aesop's Fables

One of the stories, called "The Shepherd and the Wild Goat," was very inspired.

The story of the Shepherd and the Wild Goats is mainly about a winter when it has been snowing heavily for three days, the ground is a foot of snow, and the roads are blocked. The shepherd couldn't get home with his flock, so he drove the flock into a cave to take shelter from the snow. When they reached the cave, the shepherd was surprised to find a herd of wild goats hiding inside.

No sooner had the shepherd driven the sheep out of the cave than the wild goats fled in all directions, and all his own sheep froze or starved to death.

When I read that "the shepherd divides the forage into two heaps, the big one for the wild goats and the smaller one for his flock", I think that the shepherd is very fond of the new and hates the old, and when he gets a flock of sheep, he takes good care of them, but turns a blind eye to his own flock, so that the wild goats are fed every day, while his own sheep can only get a pitiful handful of grass every day. In the end, the wild goats were still wary of the shepherds, and fled as soon as they came out of the cave; The shepherd's own flock was starved and cold because they were not cared for by the shepherd, and eventually all died. The shepherd, because of his greed, gave himself nothing in the end, and could only weep bitterly.

In fact, in learning, we can't like the new and hate the old, we can't just finish learning in the back, and forget all about the front, otherwise, the efficiency of learning will be too low, and we must often review and consolidate what we have learned, just like Confucius.

As he once said, "It's fun to learn and learn." "And we must not be too greedy, or we will end up with the shepherds.

In life, we must grasp the opportunities, the friendship of people who like the new and hate the old is not credible, and once they have been dating for too long, they will snub old friends.

The shepherd drove the sheep to the pasture and saw several wild goats mixed in with the flock. In the evening, he drove all the sheep into the sheepfold. The next day, there was a storm, and I couldn't go to the pasture to graze, so I had to raise them in a sheepfold.

He threw a little food to his sheep so that he would not starve to death, but he gave them a lot of food in order to keep the wild goats from abroad as his own. When the rain stopped, the shepherds drove all the sheep to the pasture, and when they came down the hill, all the wild goats fled. The shepherds accused them of being ungrateful and receiving special care, but they still had to flee.

The goat turned around and said, "That's why we need to be more cautious." Because you take special care of those of us who just arrived yesterday, and are too cold to the ones you have been raising before.

Obviously, if there are other wild goats in the future, you will definitely snub us in favor of them. ”

This story illustrates that friendships between people who like the new and hate the old cannot be trusted. Because even if you have been with him for a long time, as soon as he has a new relationship, he will snub the old one.

Aesop's Fables Old Hound tells us that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws that we cannot resist. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the irresistible laws of all things in the world, in this short journey of life, we must be gracious, sow hope with love, and harvest perfection with sincerity.

The story is about an old hound who was young and never gave in to any wild beast in the forest, and when he was old, during a hunt, he encountered a wild boar, which pounced on and bit the boar's ear. Its teeth were old and did not bite firmly, the wild boar fled, and its owner scolded it. The hound said "O master!"

I can't be blamed for that. My courage is the same as when I was younger, but I can't resist the laws of nature. I have been praised by you for my deeds, and I should not be rebuked by you now.

The cattle herdman was grazing in the mountains when he noticed that one of his calves had been lost.

He searched for a long time but could not find it, so he prayed to Zeus that he could help him catch the thief who had stolen his calf, and if Zeus could help him fulfill his wish to find the lost calf, he would sacrifice Zeus with a little goat.

But when he went into a wood, and saw a lion devouring his lost calf, he panicked, and quickly raised his hands to the heavens, and begged Zeus: "O Lord God Zeus, I have just made a wish to you, that if you can help me find the thief who stole the ox, I will thank you with a little goat, but now if you can let me escape from this thief, I swear that I will sacrifice an ox to you." "

Reading insights. Sometimes when something you've worked so hard to get is right in front of you, you're actually avoiding it.

Why, I always throw away this tame and stupid beast, and the wolf always wants to take it from me! Thousands of sheep, and I'll have to count them every day from now on. But I can't forget my poor Robin, who I just lost.

For a little ration, this sheep wandered with me all over the world. You don't know, it understands my bagpipes, and when I'm a hundred steps away from it, it can feel my coming. Robin, you poor thing!

After reviewing Robin's colorful life, the shepherd named Jiyo finally put an end to his rambling rituals.

The shepherds were confronted with thousands of sheep, and after a speech from the head sheep to the little lamb, he gave them advice and cheered them up, saying that they were strong enough to resist the threat of wolves. The flock then pledged in its honor that they would never waver like a boundary stone. They indicate:

We're going to kill the wolf that took Robin from us. The sheep responded, and Jiyo praised them and believed their oath.

When night came, the flock happened again*, and one of the sheep said that it had found a wolf, and the whole flock blew up the camp, and all the sheep ran away. However, in fact, the wolf did not come, it was just that the grass and trees were all soldiers in the dark.

When the soldiers who could not be educated were instructed, although they all said that they would fight bravely and die the enemy, at the slightest sign of hostility, these people would immediately scatter and flee. At that time, even if you were the first to take the lead and speak out, it would still be difficult to stop these defeated soldiers.
