Five ancient fables

China's ancient fables contain profound philosophy and valuable life experience, which enlighten people with wisdom and mercilessly expose ignorance and ugliness with ideology and artistry. The following is an old fable that I share with you. I hope you like it!

Ancient fable 1: There are three old men who are good at boasting. They usually talk to people, but no one can praise them. But on this day, these three old people who can blow met.

A passerby happened to come, saw three older people together, and went forward to ask their ages. Passers-by politely asked:? How old are you this year?

One of the old men touched his white hair and said, you asked me my age, but I can't remember it clearly. I only remember that when I was a child, I often played with Pangu. We go back a long way. He calls me a brother. ?

Passers-by were shocked and thought, I have never seen such a long life.

Another old man said, How old am I? To tell you the truth, every time the sea turns into a mulberry field, I write a piece. I don't know how many times. Anyway, I have filled the 10 room with such chips! ?

Passers-by were stunned. Today they can see the old fairy, which is really an eye-opener.

The third old man said, Have you ever heard of the Queen Mother's Xiantao? That's only cooked once in ten thousand years! But I have eaten countless peaches. Every time I eat a peach, I throw its core at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Now those lost peach stones have been piled as high as Kunlun Mountain! ?

Passers-by were calm this time and were not surprised. He said: It turned out to be three old cowhide essences. ?

What's the point of bragging if it's bizarre? What's the difference between that nonexistent longevity and those short-lived ephemera and Fu You?

Ancient fable story 2: sharpen a sword in ten years, but it's different. Generally, the bivalve clam is only more than 20 centimeters long, but it is 1 meter long and 0.8 meters wide.

Although large, it is not respected in shellfish.

Mussels often ridicule him: big is big enough, but what's the use? Very shallow, empty inside. ? There is no firewood in the mountains! ?

When I heard criticism, I ignored it. I live next to seaweed all day, sleep after eating, and eat when I have enough sleep. Very leisurely.

The old anemone sighed when he saw it. Gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-,gnome male-.

Hey hey. I think so, too, but what else can I do when I grow up like this?

The old anemone said that there are many kinds of shellfish that are outstanding and valuable in the market. Such as meretrix meretrix, the shell is very smooth and shiny, and it is regarded as an appreciation by people; Abalone, whose meat is very sweet, is listed as the first of the eight treasures of seafood; Oysters can grow pearls that everyone loves! Why don't you learn from them?

With the help of the old anemone, Jue decided to go to the sea where clams gather to observe and learn from them.

Cockroaches go to clams first. He saw the petite clam, always drilling into the sand, and the shell kept rubbing on the sand, and immediately understood why the shell of the clam was always shining. He thought he was too big and too thick to learn the skills of mussels.

Hey hey hey hey hey hey. It was found that abalone settled in a fast-flowing trench, feeding on plankton and seaweed here, and settled in a fast-flowing rock, which required strong adhesion, which was impossible for a giant turtle.

Leave the abalone and find the oyster that produces pearls. After reading the production process, I realized that the production of pearls was practiced by condensation of secretions.

Hey hey. I may not be able to do other things well, but I may practice pearls! ?

A red snail listened and said, What? what did you say ? /Excuse me? Can you produce pearls? You don't look in the mirror either. What do you look like?

Hey hey. I know that pearls are beautiful and I am not, but pearl practitioners don't have to be beautiful. I am a shellfish, too. All shellfish produce secretions. ?

The red snail said, Yes, all shellfish produce secretions, but there is a problem more or less, fast or slow. It's hard to behave well because you are big and slow. ?

Sure enough, the red snail said it was unfortunate. Although it was closed for a long time, it could not bear a pearl after three years. On the other hand, oysters can produce pearls every two years.

You can't make pearls, but you still insist on practicing pearls. After the oyster knew it, he wanted to dissuade him, make him lose confidence and reduce his opponents. In order to have a comparison with tortoise shells, it was once every two years, and later it was advanced to once a year. Later, the oysters came out half a year earlier.

However, you are indifferent and insist on your own? Close the door? . Pearl can't be produced in three years, pearl can't be produced in five years, and a big, round and strong giant pearl is produced in the tenth year. Dragonflies produce pearls dozens of times larger than oysters.

The pearls produced by oysters in half a year are broken into water in less than two or three years. The giant beads produced by cockroaches will not fade for 30 years, 50 years and 100 years and become permanent pearls.

The red snail asked the anemone: Who are the real pearls they produce?

Anemone said:? The value of a bead lies in whether it is big and round. What is a lifeless pearl? Who is the real pearl is self-evident. ?

In ancient times, Qi Xuanwang, the monarch of the State of Qi, liked music, especially playing. He had 300 musicians who were good at playing. Qi Xuanwang likes to be lively and ostentatious, and always wants to show the majesty of the monarch in front of people, so every time he listens to the flute, he always asks the 300 people to play for him.

A Southland gentleman heard about Qi Xuanwang's hobby and thought it was an opportunity to make money. He ran to Qi Xuanwang and boasted, Your Majesty, I am a famous musician. Anyone who has heard me play the flute will be moved. Even birds and animals will dance when they hear it, and flowers and plants will tremble when they hear it. I want to dedicate my stunt to your majesty. ? Qi Xuanwang was very happy to hear this. Without investigation, he accepted him very readily and put him in the 300-member blowteam.

After that, Mr. Nan Guo took the 300 people to Qi Xuanwang to play an ensemble, enjoying the same generous treatment as others, and he was extremely proud.

In fact, Mr. Nanguo told a big lie, and he couldn't blow it out at all. Every time I play ball, Mr. Nan Guo is mixed in the team with a shovel in his hand. He shakes his body when people shake it. Others shook their heads, and he shook his head. His face pretended to be emotional and forgot me. He seems to be as devoted as others, and really can't see any flaws. In this way, Mr. Nanguo cheated day after day and got a salary for nothing.

But it didn't last long. A few years later, Qi Xuanwang, who loved to listen to the ensemble, died, and his son Min succeeded to the throne. Wang Qi also likes playing the flute, but unlike Qi Xuanwang, he thinks it's too noisy for 300 people to play together, so it's better to play solo. So King Qi Gui ordered that the 300 people should practice hard and get ready. He will let the 300 people take turns blowing their mats one by one for him to appreciate. After receiving the order, the musicians actively practiced and wanted to show their skills. Only Mr. Nan Guo, who has just made up a few words, is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't go on this time, so he had to pack up and run away overnight.

Enlightenment to make up for mistakes;

Falsification can't stand the test of time, and eventually it will give away the clues. If a person, like Mr. Nan Guo, can't brag and has no real skills, he will only pretend to scare people and get away with it for a while when others don't know the truth, but the truth will come out one day. The only way for us to succeed is to study hard. Only by practicing a real skill can we resist all difficulties, setbacks and tests.
