2. An article about making a mountain out of a molehill.
Grandpa asked me to do a little thing, and I didn't even do a little thing well.
In the afternoon, I played with guns outside. Grandpa pointed to a group of birds in the tree and said, "I have a task for you: as long as one of these birds is killed, I will give you a dollar." Don't do it if you can't hit it! "As soon as I heard this, I immediately asked," If you hit two pieces, will you give two pieces? ""of course! I thought, "A sharpshooter like me must have one every minute. I can hit a flagpole made of wood, let alone a few birds? " I patted my chest: "All right! It's a deal! Don't break your word! "I thought it was a sharpshooter with a aiming star on it!
However, the first bullet only hit the bird's feather, and all the birds were alarmed by the gunfire and flew into the grass. The moment I held the gun, I suddenly couldn't hold it. I ran into the room, took out a small screwdriver from the drawer and unloaded the gun. As soon as I saw something wrong with the hook, I began to repair the gun. Three repairs and two repairs, and I was busy for fifty minutes at once. I rushed outside and heard many sparrows calling in the Woods, all of which fell in the grass. I clicked on it in two minutes, and it really works better than before.
I aimed at the pile of sparrows. "Bang" means two shots, and the bullet flew into the grass. I only heard a "squeak" and stopped screaming. I ran over and saw a sparrow killed. I took it to see my grandfather and said loudly, "Grandpa, what do you think I hit?" Grandpa saw that I really had one in my hand. Grandpa smiled and even the wrinkles disappeared. He took a dollar out of his pocket and handed it to me.
I got a dollar today. Can I be unhappy?
Make a fuss about trifles.
I still remember one time, I saw my brain turn sharply: "What's your left ear like?" At that time, I gave it to my learned college father. After reading it, dad couldn't figure it out for a long time, so he finally had to look at the answer. Actually, the answer is simple: your right ear. But why can't an open college student answer such a simple question? Because at that time, I knew the answer as soon as I saw the question. After that, I was puzzled for a long time ...
Up to now, I have grown up, and when I saw that brain teaser again, I thought for a long time. At this time, I finally understood why my father couldn't answer at that time. I also understand that sometimes, I read too many books and I can't answer some simple questions.
Take the short stories in Chang 'an Luan as an example. Master taught his disciples that time and space cannot be changed, but time and space can be changed. The apprentice thinks that a comma can change everything. The master asked him to look carefully. The apprentice said: There is a comma difference between the last sentence and the next sentence. Master said: there is more than one comma. I was so absorbed that I stared at this sentence for a long time. But the result was the same as that of the apprentice, and I didn't see it either. Looking down, the master said, you see, there are actually two commas. I almost exploded with anger when I saw this sentence. Thought for so long, the result turned out to be two commas! Think about it in my mind. Although the answer is so simple, it makes sense. Look at your answer again, it's 108 thousand miles from here.
The exam is the same. It turned out to be a very simple topic, but if you think about it carefully, it will be complicated. So the more you think about it, the more complicated it is. Just like a rabbit, it was close to the finish line, but it jumped far in one jump, and the finish line was over, running hard and getting farther and farther away from the finish line. When the test paper was handed out, there was a big red cross on the topic.
Besides these, there are many examples of this fuss in life.
The teacher told us that two neighbors had started talking about a chicken. As he talked, he scolded, and the more he scolded, it was useless for the people on the side to persuade him. Scold and scold, and fight again. Hit and hit, actually picked up a kitchen knife and killed it. Killing, killing ... People are dead. In fact, it won't be so much trouble, mainly because of people's moral problems. Otherwise, how could a chicken have this result? It's the same as in Luan in Chang 'an: a group of people fought for the price of chicken or rabbit, killing each other, resulting in 9 deaths, while more than 30 people alive were also locked up for 25 years. Then two small gangs appeared. It seems that this person's moral character is also closely related to this "making a mountain out of a molehill". Finally, those people made things more and more complicated and troublesome.
"Make a mountain out of a molehill", be careful ...
