A long time ago, a war broke out between birds and animals because of a little dispute. Moreover, the two sides were in a stalemate and refused to give in.
Once, the two sides fought, and the birds won. Bats suddenly appear in the bird's stronghold. "Everyone, congratulations! You are really a hero for being able to defeat those rough beasts! I have wings and can fly, so I am a partner of birds! Please give me your advice!"
At this time, the birds There is a great need for new partners to join us to increase our strength. So bats are welcome to join.
But the bat is a coward. When the war begins, he will not show up and hide aside to watch the battle. Later, when the animals defeated the birds, the animals sang songs of victory loudly. But the bat suddenly appeared in the beast's camp. "Congratulations to everyone! Defeating the birds! That's great! I am a kindred spirit of mice and an animal! Please give me your advice!"
The animals are also happy to include bats as their companions in the group.
So, whenever the beasts win, the bat joins the beasts. Whenever the birds win, they become their partners again.
In the end the war ended, the animals and birds made peace, and both sides knew about the bat's behavior. When the bat reappeared in the world of birds, the birds said to him rudely: "You are not a bird!"
The bats who were driven out by the birds had to come to the world of animals. They said: "You are not an animal!"
And drove away the bat.
In the end, bats can only fly secretly in the dark night.

Reluctantly, he invited another doctor to treat him. The doctor checked his various symptoms and diagnosed him as suffering from internal heat disease, so he gave him cold medicine. This time, he spent a lot of gold.
He took the cold medicine prescribed by the doctor, which caused him to vomit every morning and have diarrhea at night, making him miserable. Let's not talk about fasting delicious food. This time we can't even eat rice. He was very scared. If this continued, he might not be able to save his life. So he switched to taking hot medicine. Unexpectedly, he became swollen all over his body, and developed carbuncles and boils everywhere, which made him dizzy. He was really sick all over his body and complained all day long.
He took out money again and hired a doctor for the third time. The doctor saw that he was full of diseases and really didn't know where to start treating him. As a result, the more he was treated, the more serious his illness became.
Later, when the elders of his neighbors saw that he looked haggard and his symptoms were strange and complex, they enlightened him and said: "This is all the result of quack doctors harming people and you taking medicine indiscriminately.

3. Money. Confessions of God·Manual name: Collection of Fables
·Author: Chinese Fables
·Story name: Confessions of the God of Money
·Source: Internet
There was a god with a bright red face, square eyes, and some symbols tattooed on his round face. He stood in the middle of the avenue, and the heat was hot but there was a smell. Many people gathered around him to worship and pray. Very sincere and respectful, some people stood aside and watched and sighed, disapproving and reluctant to leave.
"What kind of god is this?" How could he be so arrogant? What are your achievements? "Someone raised a question.
After God heard this, he said arrogantly: "Speaking of my achievements, it can be said that my blessings are unlimited. If it weren't for me, there would be many people in the world who would be poor and difficult to survive. All the dignitaries and dignitaries are looking for me diligently, and their eyes will be bright when they get it. The common people are all respectful to me and hope that I will show mercy to them. Officials would not be happy without me, businessmen would have a meaningless life without me, it would be difficult to make friends without me, articles would be difficult to express without me, temperament would be difficult to be noble without me, relatives would be difficult to get close to without me, and families would be difficult to be harmonious without me. , even the themes of love and life, which are sung repeatedly, will not last long if I lose them. You say, in the whole world, who else has greater achievements than me?
At this time, an unconvinced young man stood up and spoke: "But you were not there when mankind came out of the wilderness, and you were not there for thousands of years of fishing and farming." Figure, the development of history does not depend on you. It was precisely after you, the devil, came into the world that the world was in chaos, people's hearts were not ancient, and all kinds of evils were aggravated because of you. The mediocre people judge the importance based on you, the villains decide the choices based on you, and the officials commit crimes because of you. Benefiting oneself at the expense of others, intrigues, extortion, fraud, drug smuggling, plundering, bribery, gambling and whoring, selling oneself for glory, disregarding human life and drunkenness, and other countless social ills and ugliness of human nature are all inseparable from your temptation and fueling. You create fights, get close to evil, and corrupt people's hearts. Are these all your so-called achievements? You drive countless people in the world to work busy for you. Even honest and simple people are easily influenced and restricted by you, and thus become selfish and hateful. Tell me, where is your gong? Where is the achievement?
The extraordinary god pondered for a while and said: "You bloody and childish boy, this speech you made is really correct, but it is not just about my magical powers." It is a necessary process of historical development, and it is also an inherent nature of people. I will still be very popular for a long time in history and will be an indispensable idol and driving force. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. "After saying that, the god looked up to the sky and laughed, raised his eyes and waved goodbye. Countless people gathered around this emperor-like superstar and left. At this time, everyone saw a engraved figure on the back of the god. The word "money".
This fable profoundly illustrates that money is indeed very powerful, but it can also be very harmful if it is not used properly. We must establish correct values ??and outlook on life and oppose decadence. "Money worship", let money return to the standard of "realizing the exchange value of commodities" and play its due role
Seeking for a thousand-mile horse·Zeng Zi kills the pig·The thorn carving monkey
King Yan has a hobby of collecting all kinds of exquisite toys. Sometimes he even spends a lot of money in pursuit of a novel thing. The reputation of "King Yan is fond of rare things" spread like wildfire.
One day, a Weiguo man came to the capital of Yan to ask for an audience with the King of Yan. When he saw Queen Yan, he said, "I heard that the king loves treasures, so I came here to carve a macaque on the top of the thorns for you." King Yan was very happy when he heard this. Although there are gold plates, silver lamps, ivory-carved jades, diamond jewelry, and original antiques in the palace, I have never heard of macaques being carved on thorns. Therefore, King Yan immediately gave the Wei people a salary of 30 square miles. Later, King Yan said to the man of Wei: "I want to take a look at the monkey you carved on the thorn immediately." The man of Wei said: "The monkey on the thorn is not a mortal thing. Only those with sincerity can see it." . If the king does not enter the harem, does not drink or eat meat for half a year, and catches a day when the rain comes and the sun rises, you will be able to see the thorns engraved with macaques at the moment when the clouds change.
The macaque carved on the thorns could not be seen immediately, so King Yan had to use his salary to support the guard first, waiting for the opportunity.
After hearing about this incident, a blacksmith in Zheng Guotai felt that there was a fraud in it, so he went to give King Yan an idea. The craftsman said to King Yan: "To carve things on bamboo or wood, you need a sharp carving knife. The object being carved must be able to accommodate the sharp edge of the carving knife. I am a craftsman who makes knives and axes. According to me As we know, the top of the thorn is even more sharp than the sharp edge of a carving knife made by a skilled craftsman. Since the top of the thorn can't even accommodate the sharp edge of the carving knife, how to carve it? ? If the guard is really talented, he must have a wonderful carving knife. The king does not need to wait for half a year. He can immediately see if he can carve a macaque smaller than the tip of a needle with this knife. When King Yan heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "What a great idea!"
King Yan called the Wei man and asked, "What tool did you use to carve the monkey on the thorns?" The man said: "It is a carving knife." King Yan said: "I can't see the little monkey you carved for the moment. I want to take a look at your carving knife first." The people of Wei said: "Please wait a moment, your Majesty. Just bring it to your residence." King Yan and the people present waited for about an hour, but the guard didn't come back. King Yan sent his waiter to look for him. When the waiter came back, he said: "The man has disappeared."
The hypocrisy in these two things was quickly exposed by a blacksmith using reasoning before being actually verified, thus showing the wisdom of the workers. ; also mocked the ignorance and incompetence of feudal rulers.
This fable tells us that correct reasoning methods, like practical activities, are an important magic weapon for us to understand the world.
There was a farmer in the Song Dynasty who planted several acres of land. There was a big tree on his land. One day, while he was working in the fields, he suddenly saw a rabbit flying towards him like an arrow, slamming into the big tree, breaking its neck and kicking its legs to death. The farmer quickly ran over, picked up the rabbit, and said happily: "It's really no effort at all. I got a big deal for nothing. I can have a delicious meal when I go back." He carried the rabbit and walked home. , while thinking proudly: "I'm so lucky. Maybe there will be a rabbit coming tomorrow. I can't let go of such a bargain."
The next day, when he went to the field, he didn't Working, just guarding the big tree, waiting for the rabbit to hit. As a result, I waited for a day and found nothing. But he was unwilling to give in. From then on, he sat under the big tree every day and waited for the rabbit to hit him and kill him. He waited and waited until the weeds in the field grew taller than the crops, and he didn't even see the shadow of a rabbit again.

(He) also praised his spear and said: "My spear is so sharp that it can't be pierced by anything." It cannot be pierced." Someone said, "What will happen if you use your spear to pierce your shield?"

Lord Pingyuan was dubious and reluctantly took him to the Chu Kingdom.
After Lord Pingyuan arrived in the Chu Kingdom, he immediately talked with the King of Chu about "aiding Zhao", and they talked for a long time to no avail. At this time, Mao Sui said to the King of Chu: "We came today to ask you to send reinforcements. You said nothing, but don't forget. Although the Chu State has many soldiers and a large territory, it has suffered successive defeats and even lost the country. In my opinion, the State of Chu needs to unite to fight Qin more than the State of Zhao!" Mao Sui's words convinced the King of Chu and he immediately agreed to send troops to aid Zhao.
After returning to the State of Zhao, Lord Pingyuan said with emotion: "As soon as Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, he made Chu more important than Jiuding Dalu." )
The idiom "One word and nine tripods" comes from this story, describing how one sentence can play a significant role

It turned out that when he went up the mountain to chop firewood a few days ago, he accidentally lost it in the valley. After finding the ax, he met the neighbor's son again.

Sun Shan lost his reputation
In the Song Dynasty, there was a talented man named Sun Shan. He was humorous and good at telling jokes, so he was called the "funny talented man".
Once, he and the son of a fellow villager went to the capital to take the examination. When the results were released, although Sun Shan's name was listed at the bottom of the list, he was still on the list. However, his son from the same country did not pass the exam.
Soon after Sun Shan returned home, his fellow countrymen came to ask him if his son had passed the exam. Sun Shan was embarrassed to speak directly, but also couldn't hide it, so he casually read out two lines of poetry: "It is Sun Shan who knows Yuan Dynasty, and the virtuous man is outside Sun Shan." "Jie Yuan" means the imperial examination in our country. The first place in the selection process stipulated by the system. The so-called "Jie Yuan" in Sun Shan's poem generally refers to the general examination of candidates. What he meant was: "The last person on the list of candidates is me, Sun Shan, but my son's name is still behind me." From then on, people used this story to distinguish whether they wanted to be admitted to school or take various exams. Being admitted is called "losing your reputation".
A little bird was flying to the south for the winter. The weather was so cold that the little bird froze and fell from the sky and fell into a large farmland. A cow came over and pooped on the bird. The frozen bird lay in the pile of cow dung, and slowly realized that the cow dung was so warm, and the cow dung slowly relaxed it. It lay there, feeling warm and comfortable, so it sang happily. At this time, a passing cat heard the song of the bird and wanted to go up and see what happened. Following the singing, the cat discovered the little bird hiding in the pile of cow dung, and quickly dug it out and ate it!
The moral of this story is:
1. Not everyone who poops on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who pulls you out of shit is your friend.
3. And when you are in a deep pile of shit (in trouble), please shut your mouth!
I hope my answer can help you!
