The story of the wolf coming

There is a story in Aesop's Fables about a child herding sheep to eat grass outside the village every day, but he has a bad habit of telling lies.

One day, he felt bored and shouted to the people who were farming at the foot of the mountain, "Wolf is coming! The wolf is coming! " People rushed to the mountain when they heard the shouts, but the farmers rushed to the mountain panting, and there was no sign of a wolf! The child herding sheep smiled: "That's funny, I'm joking with you!" " "The farmers left angrily.

The next day, the shepherd boy did the same thing again. The farmers rushed to help him fight the wolf, but there was still no sign of the wolf. The child herding sheep couldn't help laughing: "Haha! You have been fooled again! "

On the third day, the shepherd boy lied again. People are very angry at the shepherd boy's repeated lies and don't believe him anymore.

Then one day, the wolf really came, and the shepherd boy shouted desperately at the foot of the mountain: "The wolf is coming, the wolf is really coming!" " "However, people thought he was lying and ignored him. As a result, all his sheep were eaten by wolves.

Feeling: The boy who herded sheep lost people's trust because he lied many times, which caused serious consequences. The story of the wolf tells us that lying is a wrong behavior, which neither respects others nor makes others lose trust in themselves. Lying is harmful to nothing, and honesty and trustworthiness are the right way. A person without integrity will only harm others and himself in the end.

Story 2

Meng Xin doesn't sell sick cows.

In ancient times, there was a man named Meng Xin who was dismissed from his post and his family was too poor to eat. One day, when Meng Xin was out, the family sold the only sick cow in the family in exchange for food.

When Meng Xin came home, he found that the sick cow had been sold, so he beat his family and asked for the sick cow back. He told the buyer that it was a sick cow and useless. Such sick cows can't be sold to you.

It soon spread that Meng Xin could not sell sick cows, and even the emperor heard about it. The emperor thought Meng Xin was an honest and trustworthy man, and immediately sent someone to call him to Beijing and appointed him as an official. Meng Xin didn't return to his hometown until he was old.

Feeling: Meng Xin won the appreciation of the emperor with honesty and trustworthiness, and re-entered the DPRK as an official to get out of the predicament. It can be seen that only when a person is honest and trustworthy can he establish his own credibility and get help from others when he encounters difficulties.

Story 3

Wei Wenhou's honest story

During the Warring States Period, the first monarch of Wei was called Wei Wenhou. On one occasion, he made an appointment with the person in charge of the mountain forest to go hunting and training in the mountain forest the next afternoon.

However, it rained cats and dogs the next day. Wei Wenhou looked at the sky and said, "Hunting and training are impossible, but you must tell the person in charge of the mountain forest that you can't keep him waiting for nothing."

A minister volunteered and said, "All right, I'll go right away." However, Wei Wenhou waved and said, "Wait, I have to tell myself. Yesterday, I personally agreed with others. Now that I have stood up, I want to personally apologize to others. "

Feelings: For Wei Wenhou, this is a very small matter. But even this little thing, he kept his promise, so he won the support and love of his subjects and the country prospered. An ancient monarch can be so honest and trustworthy. As modern ordinary people, we should also be honest with others and do things honestly.

Story 4

Ji Bu "promised a thousand dollars"

There is a proverb at the end of Qin dynasty: it is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to keep a promise. It is said that there was a man named Jibu who kept his word, and he would try his best to do whatever he promised. So many people make friends with him.

When Chu and Han contended, Lu Bu was Xiang Yu's subordinate, and made several suggestions and defeated Liu Bang's army. When Liu Bang became emperor, he was so angry when he remembered it that he ordered an arrest warrant against Lu Bu. At that time, people who admired Lu Bu were secretly helping him.

Soon, Jibu and Hou went to a family named Zhu in Shandong to be a domestic worker. Zhu Jiaming knew that he was Lu Bu, so he took him in. Later, the Zhujiajian family went to Luoyang, Henan Province, and found Xia Ying, Liu Bang's old friend Ruyin, and asked him to intercede for Lu Bu. Persuaded by Xia Houying, Liu Bang not only revoked the wanted warrant for Lu Bu, but also gave Lu Bu an official seal.

Feeling: Because of honesty and trustworthiness, Ji Bu got everyone's help when he encountered difficulties; Also because of honesty and trustworthiness, he won the respect of Liu Bang. On the contrary, if you lose confidence in others because you covet temporary advantages, you will get what you want in a short time, but this is not a long-term solution. In the end, all the tricks will be exposed, hurting others and hurting themselves, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Story 5

Check the way, eat dates and keep money.

People in the Song Dynasty found that one morning, they took their servants to visit relatives far away. At noon, both of them were hungry, but there was no restaurant on the road. What shall we do? The servant suggested taking some of the gifts for others. Chad said, "How is that possible? Since these gifts are to be given away, they belong to others. How can we steal food if we keep our word? " As a result, the two had to go hungry.

Walking, a jujube garden appeared on the roadside. Jujube trees are covered with ripe dates. Chad and his servant were so hungry that they chose a date to eat. After eating the jujube, Chad took out a bundle of money and hung it on the jujube tree.

The servant didn't understand, but he said, "Honesty is human morality. Although the owner of the jujube is not here, and no one else has seen it, since we ate other people's dates, we should give money. "

Feeling: Honesty is actually everywhere in life. Honesty and trustworthiness are not only reflected in some big events, just like Daocha. A small thing that you have to leave money after eating a few dates from others also reflects the honesty of Daocha. In our life, we should always be honest.
