Author: Han Feizi in pre-Qin.

Original: Song people have cultivators. There is a factory in Tanaka. The rabbit broke its neck and died. Stand by and watch because you released this plant, hoping to get the rabbit back. Rabbits can't be recovered, but as a small fruit of a song.

There was a farmer in Song State who cultivated the land. There is a stump in his field. One day, a rabbit running fast ran into a stump, broke its neck and died. So he put down his farm tools and stood by the stump day and night, hoping to get another rabbit. However, the hare could not get it again, and he himself was laughed at by the Song people.

The appreciation of the work Waiting for the Rabbit is only 39 words, but its meaning is profound. The rabbit committed suicide on the stump, which was just an accidental event in life, but the farmer imagined that this kind of beautiful thing could become a frequent occurrence, so he was finally laughed at in a rural wasteland.

This story reveals a truth: if you don't work hard, you will get lucky, and if you expect to live by luck, there will be no good result. People often use this fable to satirize those who regard accidental events as eternal laws, refuse to work hard and just want to get unexpected gains. So don't stick to dogma and rules, but actively create results.
