There are many Aesop's fables, such as foxes and grapes, foxes falling into wells, futile farmers and snakes in Western jackdaw

foxes and grapes

Hungry foxes saw a string of glittering and translucent grapes hanging on the grape trellis, and their mouths were watering, and they wanted to pick them and eat them, but they couldn't

pick them. After reading it for a while, he left helplessly. As he walked, he comforted himself and said, "This grape is not ripe. It must be sour."

That is to say, some people are weak and can't do anything, so they say that the time is not ripe.

The fox and the goat who fell into the well

A fox slipped and fell into the well, and no matter how hard he struggled, he still couldn't climb up, so he had to stay there. The goat felt

very thirsty. He came to the well and saw the fox in the well. He asked him if the well water was good. The fox felt that the opportunity had come, and his heart

exulted. He immediately calmed down and praised the well water for its delicious taste, saying that it was the first spring in the world, sweet and refreshing, and advised the goat to

come down quickly and drink with him. The goat, who just wanted to drink water, jumped without thinking. When he finished drinking, he had to discuss with the fox the way to go to the well. The fox was ready. He said slyly, "I have a

method. You put your front foot on the wall of the well, and then straighten the corner. I'll jump into the well from your back and pull you up, and we'll all be saved. " The goat agreed to his proposal, and the fox stepped on his hind foot, jumped on his back, and then jumped out of the wellhead with a strong jump from the corner. After the fox went up, he was ready to escape alone. The goat accused the fox of not keeping his promise. The fox turned to the goat and said, "Hey, friend, if your mind is as perfect as your beard, you won't jump blindly before you see the exit."

This story shows that a smart person should think clearly about the outcome of a matter before doing it.

Western jackdaw in vain

Zeus wanted to establish a king for birds, appointed a date, and asked all the birds to attend on time, so as to choose the most

beautiful one among them as the king. All the birds ran to the river to freshen up. Western jackdaw knew that he was not beautiful, so he came to the river, picked up the feathers from the birds, carefully inserted them all on himself, and then glued them on. When the appointed date arrived, all the birds came to Zeus. Zeus saw colorful Western jackdaw at a glance, which was particularly beautiful among all the birds, and was ready to make him king. The birds were so angry that they plucked their own feathers from Western jackdaw. As a result, Western jackdaw's beautiful feathers

disappeared at once, and she became an ugly Western jackdaw.

This story says that you can get the illusion of beauty with the help of other people's things, but when something that doesn't belong to you is stripped off,

it will show its true colors.

Prometheus created people, and hung two pockets around their necks, one for others' shortcomings and the other for himself.

This story shows that people tend to find fault with others' shortcomings, but ignore their own. The farmer and the snake

but his feet were still tied to the frog. The kite flew over here, saw the mouse, rushed into the water, caught him, and the frog < P > was lifted out of the water, which became the kite's food.

The lamb said that he was not born at that time. The wolf said to him, "No matter how you defend yourself, I won't let you go anyway."

room to get something. As soon as he saw someone, he immediately got back into the hole. At this time, the vole couldn't care less about hunger, and said to the house mouse, "Goodbye, friend!"! Eat to your heart's content and enjoy these delicious things in fear. But

This story shows that when fortunes change alternately, the strong will sometimes need the weak.
