Homework for the text "Hao Han Bird".

Birds in Hao Han is a folk story adapted from the fragments in the Record of Dropping out of Farming in Nancun written by Tao, a writer in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. By telling the attitude, performance and results of a magpie and a Hao Han bird nesting for the winter, we can tell students a philosophy vividly, interestingly and concretely: We should take life seriously, not muddling along, not to mention being lazy, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Text excerpt:

Winter is coming, and the wind is cold. Magpies live in warm nests. Hao Han bird shivered with cold in the gap of the cliff and kept calling: "Duo Duo, Duo Duo, the cold wind froze me to death, and I will build a nest tomorrow."

The next morning, the wind stopped and the sun was warm, as if it were spring again. The magpie came to the cliff and suggested to Hao Han Bird, "Make a nest when the weather is fine. If you are lazy now, you will be sad later. "

Hao Han bird still didn't listen to the advice, stretched himself and replied, "Silly magpie, don't be wordy, the weather is so warm."

In cold winter, it snows heavily. The north wind roared like a lion, and it was as cold as icehouse in the cracks. Hao Han bird repeated its wail: "Doro, Doro, the cold wind froze me to death, and I will make a nest tomorrow."

At dawn, the sun came out, and magpies called Hao Han birds in the branches. However, Hao Han Byrd froze to death at night.
