Aesop's fables

Aesop’s Fables 1

1. White geese caught in the net

White geese often gather at the lake, where many white geese often choose suitable places to roost. The leader of the wild goose group also arranged for a white wild goose to keep watch at night and sound the alarm when it saw someone coming. Hunters in the lake area are familiar with the living habits of white geese.

When night comes, they deliberately light torches. The sentry geese saw the light of the fire and started quacking. The hunter put out the fire again. When the wild geese were frightened and flew up, there was no movement at all, and the wild geese fell back to rest in peace.

After repeating this three or four times, the geese thought that the sentry geese intended to deceive them, so they all pecked at him. At this time, the hunter held a torch and approached the wild geese. The sentry goose was afraid that the flock of geese would peck it and did not dare to call again. The sleeping geese were caught in a net by the hunter, and not a single one escaped.

Marketing Enlightenment: Any enterprise will face the test of the market. When competitors test for the first time, the early warning system established by the enterprise - "Watching Goose" - plays a role, and the enterprise is ready. But there was no reaction from the opponent. But after repeated trials, even the company itself gradually relaxed its vigilance, allowing its competitors to win the battle.

2. Animal Pulled Cart

Barracuda, shrimp and swan have become good friends at some point. One day, they find a car on the road at the same time with many delicious things in it. So they wanted to drag the car off the road, and the three guys shouldered the heavy load together. They worked hard, and the veins on their bodies were exposed, and they used all their strength. However, no matter how they dragged, pulled, and pushed, , the car is still in the same place, unable to move a step. It turns out that the swan lifted it hard into the sky, the shrimp dragged it backwards step by step, and the pike pulled it towards the pond. Who is right and who is wrong? Anyway, they all tried their best.

Marketing inspiration: A company’s marketing team has people with different talents, and they all have the spirit of dedication to the company. However, if the company does not use their talents in one place, the company’s marketing forces will form a synergy. , then, in the end, it will be useless to blame anyone.

3. Rats and Dogs

A group of rats climbed onto the table to steal meat, but they disturbed the dog sleeping beside the table. The mice discussed with the dog and said: "If you don't say anything, we can get you some pieces of meat and we can enjoy the delicious food." The dog sternly rejected the mice's suggestion: "You all get out of here, if the master finds out If there is less meat, you must suspect that I ate it secretly, and then I will become the meat on the chopping board."

Marketing inspiration: Don't cooperate with opponents who try to defeat you, when they give you a little. When you gain benefits, you may lose greater benefits.

4. Green Locust and Mouse

A frog looked down upon his mouse neighbor and always wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

One day, the frog saw the mouse and persuaded it to play in the water. The mouse didn't dare. The frog said there was a way to ensure its safety and connected them together with a rope. The mouse finally agreed to give it a try. After getting into the water, the frog showed off its power. Sometimes it swam very fast, and sometimes it dived to the bottom of the water. Torture the mouse to death. The mouse was finally filled with water, swollen and floated on the water. A kite flying through the air was searching for food and spotted a floating mouse. Just grabbed it. The connected rope also brought the frog up. After eating the mouse, the kite, still unsatisfied, extended its mouth to the frog again. Before being eaten by the kite, the frog said regretfully: "I didn't expect to hurt myself too."

Marketing inspiration: Competition is regular. When we adopt unfair means to deal with competition When facing opponents, perhaps we ourselves have also stepped onto the threshold of failure. Aesop's Fables 2

Today, I read an Aesop's fable: A thief and his mother.

This story is about: Once upon a time, there was a little boy who lived with his mother in a small town. This little boy is his mother's only child, so she dotes on him very much and does everything she wants. Once after school, the child took out a writing slate from his schoolbag and showed it to his mother. The mother asked curiously: "Where did this board come from?" "I..." the little boy said nervously: "I got it while my deskmate was not paying attention." "Really? You are so smart!" After hearing this Instead of criticizing the child, the mother repeatedly praised his ability and rewarded him with a copper coin. A few days later, the child stole another item from his mother. The mother was even more happy when she saw it. She said to the child with a smile: "My good son, you are really getting more and more capable!" As she said that, she handed the child another copper plate.

As the days passed, the child gradually grew up. With the mother's connivance, the child grew bolder and bolder. He became a thief and often stole valuable things.

One day, the thief was caught red-handed while stealing something. After a trial by a judge, he was sentenced to death by hanging. The day of execution arrived, and the thief was led to the execution ground. His mother followed behind and burst into tears.

At this time, the thief asked the executioner to have a few words with his mother, and the executioner agreed.

The thief quickly walked up to the mother and put his mouth close to the mother's ear. But what was unexpected was that the thief opened his mouth and bit off the mother's ear. The mother angrily said to the thief: "Isn't it enough that I have raised you like this since you were a child?" "If you had scolded me like this when I stole the slate, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!" The thief said regretfully explain.

After hearing what her son said, the mother could not utter a word. She collapsed on the ground, feeling extremely remorseful.

This story makes us understand: family education is very important, we must have strict requirements for children, and must not condone them. Failure to punish small mistakes will inevitably lead to big mistakes. We can’t let our parents’ words go in one ear and out the other! The one who will suffer in the end must be you! Aesop's Fables 3

Today, I want to tell you the story of the eagle, the cave bird and the shepherd. After reading it, I felt deeply and benefited a lot.

The eagle flew down from a high cliff and snatched a lamb.

When the cave bird saw that scene, he was amazed and wanted to imitate it. So, he flew down from the air and landed on the back of a ram. However, after he dug his claws into the wool, they became entangled in the wool, and no matter how hard he flapped his wings, he couldn't fly.

The shepherd saw it and knew what had happened, so he ran over, caught the bird, and cut off the strong feathers on its wings.

In the evening, the shepherd took the cave bird back and gave it to his children. The children asked what kind of bird it was, and the shepherd replied: "I know clearly that he is a cave bird, but he himself wants to be an eagle."

This story illustrates: No matter what you do, Everyone should know themselves, keep a clear mind and not act blindly. Otherwise, it will backfire and even lead to bad consequences and become the laughingstock of others.

During the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo, the son of the famous general Zhao She, relied on being familiar with military books and regarded himself as a military strategist. With no practical experience, he lost himself under the praise of the Qin army and deceived the then King of Zhao. King Zhao ignored everyone's persuasion and even Zhao She's will and asked Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po to lead the Zhao army and Qin army to fight in Changping. As a result, 400,000 Zhao soldiers were buried alive, leaving behind the eternal joke of "talking on paper". From this point of view, how harmful it is to people who cannot recognize themselves clearly!

While knowing ourselves, we are required not to follow blindly when doing things, but to have scientific judgment and foresight in various situations. The blind obedience mentality of the Chinese people is particularly serious. It often starts with one person looking at the sky and ends with a group of people looking at the sky. In the early 1990s, there was a craze for doing business overseas. Some government officials, company employees and even school teachers were also involved in the business trend. In the past few years, there has been a stock market craze across the country, and everyone wants to make a fortune. However, they have experienced the current downturn in the stock market, which has opened the eyes of many investors. You should do things for your own reasons, not because others are doing them. It is important to learn to think rationally!

The inability to clearly understand oneself is more common in education. Some parents often have unrealistic fantasies about their children, so they encourage them to do better. As a result, they get twice the result with half the effort, leaving behind cases of educational failure one after another. Since French pianist Richard Clayderman's "Für Elise" and other beautiful music became popular in China, many parents have bought pianos for their children and hired teachers, hoping that their children will become pianists in the future. So set goals for your children, and what level they should reach within a certain period of time. Strong pressure deprives children of happiness. I still clearly remember a report I read before. A mother left her 12-year-old son alone in the house to practice playing the piano. When she noticed that the sound of the piano was interrupted, she looked outside the door into the child's room. What shocked her was that her son was cutting his own fingers with a knife. , and kept blaming myself: Why am I so stupid?

Diligence can make up for weakness, which is a good lesson and God rewards diligence. I don't object to this. However, in order to become an outstanding talent in a certain field, I personally think that hard work is not enough. You also need to have talent. Just imagine if Liu Xiang is asked to practice weightlifting and Zhan Xugang is asked to practice the 110-meter hurdles, no matter how hard they train, they may not even be able to become national champions.

We all should establish blogs, join circles, and publish posts for the purpose of exchanging ideas, expressing opinions, recording insights, and improving writing skills. If you think you have obtained a few excellent posts, then you should ask yourself to write ancient poems like Li Du's, modern poems like Xu Zhimo and Dai Wangshu, prose like Yu Qiuyu, and current commentaries like Xinhua Daily's. Not a wise choice for most people.

Knowing yourself is an essential quality for successful people. Otherwise, this sentence would not be engraved on the ancient Greek stone pillars as a motto to guide all living beings.

The fable is a magic bag. The bag is small, but it can take out many things from it, and it can even take out things much larger than the bag. Fable is a unique bridge, through which one can move from complexity to simplicity, and from simplicity to richness. By walking back and forth on this bridge several times, we not only see the colorful phenomena of life, but also discover the inner meaning of life. Fables are beautiful, beauty lies in simplicity, beauty in connotation, and beauty in sentences.

As long as we read it carefully, we will surely understand a lot.

Most of the stories reflect life experience and extraordinary wisdom. Some stories teach people to consider problems comprehensively, such as "Two Frogs"; some illustrate that we should not go against nature and do things reluctantly, such as "Pluck the Seedlings to Help It Grow"; and some tell us not to make empiricist errors, such as "The Man Carrying Salt" Donkey" and so on.

Of all the stories, I think the most convincing is "The Shortsighted Thrush".

The story is about a beautiful thrush that goes to eat the fruits on the myrtle tree every autumn. One year, the fruits on the myrtle tree were not yet ripe, so the thrush went to the myrtle tree every day and sang: "The wonderful life is coming. How I sang in my heart, looking at it." The flowers are blooming, and I yearn for them so much.” So the thrush goes and sings every day. A hunter found it and waited there. When the fruit is produced, the thrushes come and eat all day long every day. Finally, the hunter stuck him with a sticky stick. It sang again: "Myrtle's fruit is so sweet, but you are the one who hurt me, because I was too greedy for your incomparable sweetness, so I lost my life..."

< p>This fable makes us understand that we should not be too greedy for something, otherwise we will lose our lives. You must have a far-sighted vision and not be short-sighted like a thrush. Otherwise, when you are completely immersed in it, misfortune will happen.

It’s just like us. If a student is too greedy for games and carries his teachers and parents to the Internet cafe every day and plays all day long, he will definitely suffer heavy losses if this continues: money is wasted for a while, and parents have worked hard. Is it worth spending all your hard-earned money on playing games? Second, use your eyes to transition. Eyes are the windows to the soul, so important! If you don't protect your eyes well, wouldn't you be tired of wearing a pair of glasses in the future and becoming a "little four eyes"? The third and most important thing is that if you are addicted to games, you will unknowingly ruin the great time of absorbing knowledge, okay?

Of course, I will definitely treasure that copy of "Aesop's Fables", it will benefit me throughout my life. Aesop's Fables 4

The Wisdom of the Turtle

A magical turtle was caught by a fisherman, so the turtle entrusted a dream to Song Yuanjun, the king of Song Dynasty.

That night, Song Yuanjun saw a man with disheveled hair in his sleep, peering at the side door, and said to Song Yuanjun: "I live in a deep pool called Zailu. I come out for the Qingjiang Water God. When he went to He Bo, he was caught by a fisherman named Yu Qie. "When Song Yuanjun woke up in the morning, he thought of his dream at night and felt strange, so he asked someone to divine the dream. The fortune teller said: "This is a dream given to the king by a magical turtle." Song Yuanjun asked the people around him: "Is there a fisherman named Yu Qie?" The people around him replied: "There is a fisherman named Yu Qie. "And." So Song Yuanjun ordered his men to summon Yu Qie to come to the court.

The next day, Yu Qie came to see Song Yuanjun. Yuanjun asked him: "What did you catch while fishing?" Yu Qie replied: "I caught a big white turtle with a fishing net. The turtle's back was five feet long." Song Yuanjun ordered Yu Qie to catch the white turtle with a fishing net. The turtle offered. Yu Qie hurried home and presented the white turtle he caught to Song Yuanjun.

After Song Yuanjun got the turtle, he wanted to kill it several times and raise it several times, but he was always hesitant in his heart. In the end, he had to ask a fortune teller to make a decision. The result of the divination was: "Kill this turtle and use it for divination. It will be auspicious." So, Song Yuanjun ordered people to kill the white turtle, cut out its intestines, and used the turtle shell for divination. I performed divination 72 times, and it worked every time.

Later, Confucius said with deep emotion about this incident: "This magical turtle has the ability to entrust dreams to Song Yuanjun, but it has no ability to escape Yu Qi's net; its wisdom can reach 72 divination times without a single Ineffective situations, but can not avoid the disaster of being disemboweled. From this point of view, there are limitations to wisdom, and there are things that wisdom cannot take care of."

This story tells us that a No matter how high a person's intelligence is, it cannot compare to everyone's wisdom. Therefore, only by working together as one and working together can things be done more comprehensively. Aesop's Fables 5

The wolf came to the stream and saw the lamb drinking water there.

The wolf wanted to eat the lamb very much, so he deliberately found trouble and said, "You have soiled the water I drank! What are you worried about?"

The wolf and the lamb The little sheep was startled and said gently: "How could I dirty the water you drink? You are standing upstream. The water flows from you to me, not from me to you. Go ahead."

Wolf said angrily: "Forget it, you are always a bad guy! I heard that you spoke ill of me behind my back last year!"

The poor lamb shouted: "Ah, dear Mr. Wolf, that won't happen. I wasn't born last year!"

The wolf didn't want to argue anymore, bared its teeth and came closer. The little sheep shouted loudly: "You little rascal! The person who said bad things about me is either you or your father, it's the same anyway." As he said that, he pounced on the little sheep. Aesop's Fables 6

The Jackdaw and the Fox

There was a hungry jackdaw standing on a fig tree.

He found the figs hard and green, so he waited there for them to grow and mature. The fox saw the jackdaw always standing there, so he went to ask the reason, and then said: "Oh, my friend, you are so confused. You only know that it is useless to wait blindly. You can only deceive yourself and decide It can’t fill your stomach.”

This story is about those who wait but don’t know how to take action. Aesop's Fables 7

Later, the wild donkey saw the domestic donkey carrying heavy goods, and the donkey driver was beating him with a stick while driving the donkey. The wild donkey said: "I don't think you are happy anymore. I can see that if you don't suffer all kinds of things, Pain does not get that little bit of enjoyment. ”

This means that people do not need to envy the benefits that they have paid a heavy price for. Aesop's Fables 8

The Jackdaw Fighting for the King of Birds

Zeus wanted to appoint a king for the birds, so he designated a date and required all the birds to attend on time in order to choose them. The fairest of them all is king.

All the birds want to be the most beautiful, and they run to the river to wash themselves. The jackdaw was very anxious. He knew that nothing about him was beautiful, but he also hoped that he would be chosen. It came to the river and found that many birds had shed a lot of feathers, so it had an idea, picked up all the feathers, carefully inserted them all into itself, and then glued them together.

At last the appointed day came, and all the birds came to Zeus together. Zeus looked around and saw the jackdaw's colorful feathers, which were particularly beautiful among the birds, so he was ready to make it king.

The birds were very angry when they saw it, and they all pulled out their own feathers from the jackdaw. All the beautiful feathers on the jackdaw suddenly disappeared and turned into an ugly jackdaw again.

Story review: Using other people’s things will only lead to false beauty. When things that do not belong to you are stripped away, your true colors will be revealed. Aesop's Fables 9

The Donkey Buyer

Someone bought a donkey and wanted to take it for a try. He took the donkey to his horse and stood him in front of the manger. The donkey came next to a lazy donkey. So the person who bought the donkey immediately put a bridle on the donkey and took it back to the donkey's seller. The seller asked, is your method reliable? The man replied: "There is no need to doubt it. In my opinion, the kind of friends you choose will be the same for you."

This means that birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. Aesop's Fables 10

The old wolf sent the young wolf out of the cave to take a walk in the forest, and also patrolled the wind. See if you have any luck having lunch. If you want to get a bargain, the shepherd will be the host. It's time for the little wolf to learn to make a living from his father's business.

The little wolf ran back and said: "Hurry, follow me. My information is accurate. Lunch is ready. There is a large flock of sheep at the foot of the mountain. Each sheep is fatter than the other. Drag any one you want. The food is very satisfying."

The old wolf said: "Wait a minute, I need to find out what kind of person the shepherd is first."

"I heard that the shepherd is very good. After checking the herd from all sides, the hunting dogs were all poor and thin, and they didn't look too fierce."

The old wolf shook his head and said, "Let's put it this way, we won't succeed. Life is lost, but the shepherds are capable, so how can the hunting dogs be loose? Let's go! I'll lead you to another place, where our safety will be greatly guaranteed. The shepherds are confused, and it's useless to have more hunting dogs. p>

A rooster was rummaging through the compost heap when he suddenly found a pearl. He said, "What's the use of this thing? It's just worthless waste! People have raised it so high." Isn’t it stupid? In my opinion, it would make me much happier if I could find grains of barley, which are inconspicuous but can satisfy my stomach."

Ignorant people are always like this. When judging things, anything they don't understand is useless to them.

There was an earthen pot and a copper pot floating in the river. The earthen pot said to the copper pot: "Please stay away from me and don't come close to me. Even if I accidentally touch you, I will break it."

This means that with a tough person It is very unsafe to be around people.

A doctor treats a patient. The patient eventually died, and the doctor said to the mourners: "If the patient had stopped drinking and had his intestines cleaned before his death, he would not have died." Another person present replied: "Smart doctor, now that things have happened, you It is no longer useful to say these words. You should use these words to advise the patient when he is alive."

This story illustrates that when friends are in difficulty, they should be advised in time. Give help instead of saying useless empty words afterwards. Aesop's Fables 11

Neither fish had ever seen a fishing net, so when the fisherman reeled in the net, they were both caught in it. The little fish struggled to escape from the mesh. Only then did the fat man feel that he would rather be a little fish.

This fable tells us that little people can be easily saved, but those with great reputations can hardly escape danger. Aesop's Fables 12

The Eagle and the Fox

The eagle and the fox became friends. In order to strengthen their friendship, they decided to live together. So the eagle flew to a tree Nests were built on high trees to incubate their offspring, while foxes went into the bushes under the trees to give birth to their offspring.

One day, the fox went out to look for food, and the eagle happened to be out of food. Then he flew into the bushes, snatched away the young fox, and had a feast with the young eagle. When the fox came back, he knew that it was the eagle that had done this. He grieved for the death of his children, and what made him most sad was that he could not help himself for a while. Revenge, because he is an animal and can only run on the ground and cannot chase flying birds. Therefore, he has to stand far away and curse the enemy. This is the only thing that a weak person can do.

Soon, the eagle's crime of treachery was also severely punished. Once, some people killed a sheep in the wild to sacrifice to the gods. The eagle flew down, grabbed the flaming lamb from the altar, and brought it back to its nest. At this time, there was a burst of A strong wind blew over, and the small dry branches in the nest immediately ignited with fierce flames. The fledgling eagles were burned to death and fell from the trees. The fox ran over and stood in front of the eagle. , and ate all those eaglets.

This story illustrates that for those who betray their faith, even if the victim is weak and cannot retaliate against him, God will punish him. Aesop’s Fables 13

< p>In fact, when I was eight or nine years old, the book "Aesop's Fables" was a frequent visitor to my pillow, and I would always read it before going to bed. Reading it again now is like reuniting with an old friend. It's just that the feelings changed when we saw each other again.

When I was a child, I just used it as a fun thing to entertain when I couldn't sleep. If I had to express my feelings, it would be very interesting, but the reason behind it was vague. Reading it now feels a bit heavy. Ask me why, maybe it’s because the things in the story reminded me of this society. For example, the fox in the story is mostly cunning and a little cold-blooded, just like the dark people in this society. Sometimes they push unsuspecting people into the abyss with their hypocritical smiles and gorgeous lies. There are also some ignorant little animals, just like the greedy people in this society who want to sit back and enjoy the gains. They end up just like them, getting nothing in a basket. Of course it just seems heavy because of these, no. In fact, it is because most of the events in this book take place in nature. The principle of survival of the fittest in nature cannot be changed. Looking at this society, the same is true. Some animals in nature are cunning, some are smart, Some are kind, but we don’t have the ability to tell them apart, and people in this society won’t put up a sign saying I am a good person, so this book reminds me to pay attention to distinguishing between good people and bad people, and then treat them differently.

There are not only cunning and vicious bad guys in nature, but also the traps that always exist. Just like in the short story "The billy goat and the fox who fell into the well", the fox couldn't drink water because he wanted to. He accidentally fell into the well, and in order to trick the thirsty goat into coming down, he lied to the goat about how delicious the water was. When the goat was also tricked into falling into the well, he implemented his own plan to get himself up, but ignored the goat. . The goat was trapped because it fell into the fox's trap unpreparedly. This is not entirely due to the cunning of the fox. Most of the reason is because the goat is not vigilant and does not realize that the danger is coming. This also sounded a wake-up call for me, who has always been soft-hearted. I must be on guard against others.

The book "Aesop's Fables" really needs to be read at intervals, because the feelings are different and the mood is really different. When you grow up, your books should not only be fairy tales. , not all fairy tales are beautiful. In society, more are not fairy tales, but may be more cruel and experienced. Not being harmed in this society is what we should learn. Aesop's Fables 14

The Patient and the Doctor

A man was sick, and the doctor asked him how he was doing. He said he was sweating too much. The doctor said: "It's very good." When asked how he was doing for the second time, he said he was afraid of the cold and was shaking very badly. The doctor said: "This is also very good." When the doctor came again to ask about his condition for the third time, he said that he now had diarrhea. The doctor said: "This is still very good." A relative of the patient came to see him and asked how he was doing. He said: "I am dying because these are very good."

This story is said , people who only say nice things can bring danger to people.

Pedestrians and Driftwood

A big wave carried the wood to the shore, and they discovered that it was a piece of wood. They said to each other: "This boring thing has made us wait in vain!"

This story shows that some people are not right. There is great hope in something that one fully understands, but once understood, there is great disappointment.

The Rich Man and the Leatherworker

There was a rich man who lived next to the Leatherworker. The rich man couldn't stand the smell of leather and forced the tanner to move many times. The tanner always said he would move it immediately, but he always put off moving it. As time goes by, the rich people have become accustomed to the smell of leather, and they no longer criticize the tanner.

Hermes knew this and felt pity for him. After he came to ask the reason, he went down to the river and picked up a golden ax. He asked if it was his, and he said it was not; then Hermes went on He picked up a silver ax and asked if he had dropped it, but he still said no. When Hermes went down for the third time and picked up the woodcutter's own ax, the woodcutter said that this was the one he had lost. A handful.

Hermes admired the woodcutter for his honesty, so he gave him both a gold ax and a silver ax as gifts. The woodcutter returned home with three axes and told his friends in detail what had happened. One of them was very jealous and decided to try his luck. He ran to the river, deliberately threw his ax into the rapids, and then sat there and cried bitterly. Hermes came to him and asked him why he was crying. Then he went down to the river and picked up a golden axe, asking if it was the one he had lost. The man said happily: "Yeah, exactly, exactly!" His greed and dishonesty were hated by Hermes. Not only did Hermes not reward him with the golden ax, but even he himself I didn't even give him the ax.

This story shows that honest people will be helped by people, while cunning people will be despised by people. Aesop's Fables 15
