Idiom story:

Once upon a time, there was a man from the Song Dynasty who had a fertile field. He manages this field diligently and has a good harvest. There is a stump in the field. When he is tired from work, he will rest beside it for a while.

One day, while he was farming in the field, a rabbit came from nowhere and ran away in a hurry, resulting in a bump on the stump. He ran over to have a look, and was extremely happy: "What luck today! I got a rabbit in vain!" " As he walked home with a rabbit in his hand, he thought proudly, "If I wait here every day to harvest a rabbit, I won't have to be so tired in the future." ?

So, from the next day, he put down his hoe and stood beside the stump by the field every day, waiting for the rabbit to run over and kill it on the stump. Time passed day by day, and the fields were covered with weeds and desolate. Song people are still waiting by the stump, but no rabbits have ever killed them.
