Crows who laugh at them

Fable stories are a rich literary treasure house, some of which reflect social features and political reality, some carry people's wisdom and lessons, and some articles are wonderful and fascinating. Below I recommend two fables full of philosophy for you. You are welcome to read and enjoy them. More wonderful stories are in China fans.

(a) Laughing at their crows

This story happened many years ago. At that time, crows were particularly beautiful, while phoenixes were not at all beautiful. So the crow laughs at the ugliness of the phoenix.

One day, not to be outdone, Phoenix said modestly to the crow, "You shouldn't laugh at us because you are beautiful. Without our foil, you can't be so beautiful. " You should thank us ugly birds. "Say that finish, the phoenix flew away.

The crow was very angry after hearing this. I am too beautiful to thank them. In this way, after many years, the crow became arrogant, and no one was more beautiful than me. Not only has it not changed, but the mocking sound is unacceptable to other birds.

This matter is known to God. In order to punish the crow's arrogance, God changed the crow into what it is now. Many years later, Phoenix passed by and saw that crows were not as beautiful as before. At this time, the crow also saw that Phoenix had become much more beautiful than itself. The crow hung his head in shame and flew away in shame. Since then, Phoenix has become the most beautiful bird in people's minds.

From then on, crows never laughed at them again.

(2) guns and sails

On a warship, guns and sails produced irreconcilable hostility.

You see, those cannons were fired from the side of the ship. Complain to the gods: "Oh, gods, when have you ever seen such worthless rags and dared to be equal to us?" What did they do during our long and arduous voyage? As long as the wind blows, they stand proudly, as if they were some majestic monarchs. They swagger and brag blindly on the ocean, but we are fighting with violence. Didn't we let our warships dominate at sea? Didn't we give death and terror to enemies everywhere? No, we don't want to live with sails anymore. Without them, we can handle everything by ourselves. Come and help us, the powerful god of the north wind. Tear the sail to pieces. "

The god of the north wind heard the call. With a gentle blow, my husband's color darkened immediately. The sea was dark, and the gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds. The waves were rough and collapsed like a mountain. The thunder was deafening and the lightning was dazzling. The north wind swept and yanked, tearing the sails to pieces, and the sails disappeared. The bad weather subsided like this.

But what should we do? Without sails, warships have become playthings of big winds and waves. It sails on the sea like a piece of wood. As soon as they met the enemy, they bombarded with all their side guns. Our warships could not move and soon became riddled with holes. It sank to the bottom of the sea like a spiral with all the guns.

Only when all parts of a country are in order and cooperate with each other can a country be strong. The use of weapons forms a deterrent to the enemy, and sails are the decision-making organs of the country.
