White geese often gather by the lake, and many white geese often choose suitable places to live there. The leader of the goose also arranged a white goose to keep watch and call the police when he saw someone coming. Hunters in the lake area are familiar with the life habits of white geese.
At night, they deliberately lit torches. When the geese on guard saw the fire, they quacked and the hunter put it out again. When the geese were scared away, nothing happened, and the geese fell back to their original place to rest with confidence.
This was repeated three or four times, and the geese thought it was the goose on sentry duty who deliberately lied to them, so they all pecked. At this time, the hunter approached the geese with a torch. The goose on sentry duty was afraid of being pecked by the goose and dared not bark any more. The sleeping geese were caught by hunters with nets, and none of them escaped.
Marketing Enlightenment: Any enterprise will face the test of the market. When the competitor conducted the first test, the early warning system established by the enterprise-"White Goose Watch" played a role. The enterprise is ready, but the competitors have no response. However, after repeated trials, even the enterprises themselves gradually relaxed their vigilance, which led to the complete victory of their competitors in the first world war.
2。 Animal drawn cart
Barracuda, shrimp and swan don't know when they became good friends. One day, they also found a car on the road, and there were many delicious things on it. So I want to drag the car off the road, and the three guys shoulder the burden together. They riveted their feet, exposed their veins, and spent their whole lives. However, no matter how they drag, pull and push, the car is still in the old place and can't move a step. It turned out that the swan tried to lift it to the sky, the shrimp dragged back step by step, and the pike pulled to the pond. Who is right and who is wrong? We've tried anyway.
Marketing Enlightenment: The marketing team of an enterprise has people with different talents, all of whom have the spirit of dedication to the enterprise. But if enterprises don't put their talents in one place and let their marketing forces form a joint force, then it is useless to blame anyone in the end.
3。 Rats and dogs
A group of mice climbed onto the table to steal meat, but they alarmed the dog sleeping on the table. The mouse and the dog discussed it and said, "If you don't keep quiet, we can give you some meat and we can enjoy delicious food." The dog severely rejected the mouse's suggestion: "get out of here, all of you." If the owner finds that there is less meat, he will suspect that I ate it secretly, and then I will become the meat on the chopping board. "
Marketing Enlightenment: Don't cooperate with opponents who try to knock yourself down. When they give you a little benefit, you may lose a bigger benefit.
4。 Green locusts and mice
A frog looked at his mouse neighbor very unhappily, always looking for a chance to teach him a lesson.
One day, the frog saw the mouse and suggested it to play in the water. Rats dare not. The frog said there was a way to ensure its safety. He connected them with a rope. The mouse finally agreed to give it a try. Under water, frogs show great strength. Sometimes it swims fast, and sometimes it dives to the bottom. Kill the mouse. Finally, the mouse was filled with water, swelled up and floated on the water. The kite-flying man was looking for food and found a floating mouse. So I grabbed it. The connected rope also pulled the frog up. After eating the mouse, the kite sticks its mouth out to the frog. Before being eaten by a kite, the frog said regretfully, "I didn't expect to hurt myself."
Marketing Enlightenment: Competition is regular. When we take inappropriate measures to deal with our competitors, we may have stepped into the threshold of failure ourselves.
Aesop's Fables Today, I read an Aesop fable. A thief and his mother.
The story goes like this: Once upon a time, there was a little boy and his mother who lived in a small town. The little boy is his mother's only child, so his mother dotes on him and follows him with everything. Once after school, the child took out a tablet from his schoolbag and showed it to his mother. Mother asked curiously, "Where did this board come from?" "I ..." The little boy said nervously, "I brought it when my deskmate wasn't looking." "Are you? You are so smart! " Hearing this, the mother not only did not criticize the child, but repeatedly praised his ability and rewarded him with a copper coin. A few days later, the child stole another big mother. Mother was happier when she saw it. She smiled and said to the child, "My dear son, you are really getting more and more capable!" " "Say that finish, she handed the child another coin.
As the days passed, the children grew up. With the connivance of his mother, the child became bolder and bolder. He became a thief and often stole some valuable things.
One day, the thief was caught stealing. After the judge's trial, he was sentenced to hang. When the day of execution came, the thief was taken to the execution ground, and his mother followed him and burst into tears.
At this time, the thief asked the executive to talk to his mother in private, and the executive agreed. The thief walked quickly to his mother's side and put his mouth to her ear. Unexpectedly, the thief opened his mouth and bit off her ear. Mother said angrily to the thief, "Isn't it enough that I raised you from an early age?" "If you scolded me like this when I stole the slate, I wouldn't be in this situation!" The thief said regretfully.
After listening to her son, the mother could not say a word. She collapsed on the ground and regretted it very much.
This story tells us that family education is very important. We should be strict with our children and never indulge them. If we are too young to punish them, we are bound to make a big mistake. We can't go in one ear and out the other! The ultimate victim must be yourself!
Aesop's Fable 3 Today, I want to tell you the story of the eagle, the cave bird and the shepherd. After reading it, I was deeply touched and benefited a lot.
The eagle flew down from the high cliff and took a lamb.
The cave bird was stunned by the sight and wanted to imitate it. So he flew down from the air and landed on the back of a ram. However, after he put his paw into the wool, it got entangled in the wool, and no matter how he flapped his wings, he couldn't fly.
The shepherd saw it and knew what had happened, so he ran to catch the cave bird and cut off the strong feathers on its wings.
In the evening, the shepherd brought the cave bird back to his children. The children asked what kind of bird it was, and the shepherd replied, "I know he is a cave bird, but he wants to be an eagle himself."
This story shows that no matter what you do, you should know yourself, keep a clear head and don't act blindly. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive and even lead to adverse consequences and become the laughing stock of others.
During the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo, the son of the famous Zhao She, taught himself The Art of War and pretended to be a strategist. With no practical experience, he lost himself under Qin Jun's flattery, and also blinded the prince of Zhao at that time. The prince of Zhao was desperate to persuade, even Zhao She's will, to let Zhao Kuo lead Zhao and fight in Changping instead of Lian Po. As a result, 400,000 Zhao troops were buried alive, leaving an eternal joke of "an armchair strategist". From this perspective, we can't realize the harm that self brings to people!
While knowing ourselves, we are required not to follow blindly, but to make scientific judgments and forecasts of various situations. The blind obedience of China people is particularly serious. Often a person looks up at the sky at the beginning, and the last group of people will look up at the sky. In the early 1990s, there was an upsurge of doing business in the sea, and some government officials, company employees and even school teachers were also involved in the tide of doing business. In recent years, there has been a stock market fever in China, and everyone wants to make a big profit. However, after experiencing the current stock market downturn, many investors have polished their eyes. You should do things for your own reasons, not because everyone else is doing it. It is important to learn to think rationally!
It is quite common that you can't know yourself clearly in education. Some parents often have unrealistic fantasies about their children, so they pull out the seedlings to encourage them. As a result, they get twice the result with half the effort, leaving behind one case after another of educational failure. Since the beautiful music dedicated to Alice by French pianist Richard Clayderman became popular in China, many parents bought pianos and hired teachers for their children, hoping that their children would become pianists in the future. So set goals for children, at what time and at what level. Strong pressure deprived the children of their happiness. I still clearly remember a report I read before. A mother left her 12-year-old son alone in the room to practice the piano. When she noticed that the piano was interrupted, she looked at the child's room outside the door. To her great shock, her son was cutting his finger with a knife and kept blaming himself: how could I be so stupid?
Diligence is a good training, and diligence is a reward from heaven. I have no objection to this truth. But personally, I think it is not enough to be an outstanding talent in a certain field, but also talented. Imagine if Liu Xiang was allowed to practice weightlifting and Zhan Xugang was allowed to practice 1 100 meter hurdles. Even if they train hard, I'm afraid they can't even become national players.
We should set up blogs, join circles and post posts, with the purpose of exchanging ideas, expressing opinions, recording feelings and improving writing level. If you think that you have won a few essence posts and ask yourself to write such ancient poems, such modern poems as Xu Zhimo and Dai Wangshu, such essays as Yu, and such comments as Xinhua Daily, it is obviously not a wise choice for most people.
Knowing yourself is a necessary quality for a successful person. Otherwise, this sentence will not be engraved on the ancient Greek stone pillars as a motto to guide all living beings.
Short-sighted thrush once again opened Aesop's fables I had read and looked back at the fables I had read before, from which I seemed to understand a lot gradually. ...
Fable is a magic bag. The bag is small, but you can take a lot of things out of it, even things much bigger than the bag. Fable is a unique bridge through which we can move from complexity to simplicity and from simplicity to richness. Walking back and forth on this bridge several times, we not only saw colorful life phenomena, but also discovered the inner meaning of life. The beauty of fable lies in conciseness, connotation and sentence. As long as you read with your heart, you will certainly understand a lot.
Most stories reflect life experiences and extraordinary wisdom. Some stories teach people to think comprehensively, such as two frogs. Others explain that you can't go against nature and do things reluctantly, such as "Vivi helps Yang"; Others told us not to make empirical mistakes, such as donkey carrying salt.
Of all the stories, I think the most convincing one is the short-sighted thrush.
This story tells that a beautiful thrush eats the fruit of Myrtle tree every autumn. One year, when the fruit on the myrtle tree was not ripe, the thrush ran to the myrtle tree every day to sing: "A beautiful life is coming, how happy my heart is, look at it." Flowers bloom, how much I yearn for it. " In this way, the thrush sings every day. A hunter found it and waited there. The fruit bears, and the thrush comes to eat it all day every day. Finally, the hunter tied it with a stick. It sang again: "Myrtle's fruit is so sweet, but it is you who hurt me, because I was so greedy for your incomparable sweetness that I lost my life ..."
This fable makes us understand that we should not be too greedy for something, which will ruin our life. Be far-sighted and don't be short-sighted like a thrush, or misfortune will come when you are completely immersed in it.
This is just like us. If a student is too addicted to games and goes to the Internet cafe behind his teacher's parents' backs every day, it will last all day. If you go on like this, you will lose a lot: you will waste money for a while, and the money earned by your parents will be used by you to play games for a while. Is it worth it? Second, I will use my eyes to transition. My eyes are the windows to my soul, which is so important! If you don't protect your eyes, you will become a "small four eyes" with more glasses in the future. Aren't you tired? Third, and most importantly, if you indulge in games, you will unconsciously ruin the good time to absorb knowledge, ok?
Of course, I will cherish that Aesop fable, which will benefit me for life.
Aesop's Fable Story 4 The Wisdom of Tortoise
A fisherman caught a turtle, so the turtle had a dream to Song Yuanjun, the king of Song State.
That night, in Song's sleep, I saw a man with long hair peeking at a side door and poked around and said to Song, "I live in a deep pool called Zhalu. I went to Hebo on behalf of Qingjiang Water God, and was caught by a fisherman named Yu Qi on the way. "
Song woke up in the morning and thought of this dream at night. He felt strange, so he invited someone to divine the dream. The fortune teller said, "This is a dream entrusted by a turtle to the king." Song Yuanjun asked the people around him, "Is there a fisherman named Yu Qi?" The left and right replied, "There is a fisherman named Yu Qi." Therefore, Song ordered his men to deliver the message and come to appear before the court.
The next day, I came to Song. Yuan Jun asked him, "What did you catch by fishing?" I replied, "I caught a big white turtle with a fishing net." The turtle's back is five feet long. " Song was ordered to offer a white turtle. I hurried home and presented the white turtle I caught to Song Yuan Jun.
After Song got the turtle, he wanted to kill it several times and raise it several times, but he always hesitated. Finally, he had to ask the fortune teller to make a decision. The result of divination is: "It is auspicious to kill this turtle and use it for divination." So, Song ordered people to kill the white turtle, cut open its intestines and use its shell for divination. It was always predicted 72 times, and it succeeded every time.
Later, Confucius said with deep feelings: "This turtle has the ability to give Song Yuanjun his dream, but it has no ability to escape the snare of Yu Yu. Its wisdom can reach 72 divinations without a failure, but it can't avoid the disaster of being cut open. In this way, wisdom has its limitations, and wisdom can't take care of things. "
This story tells us that a person's intelligence, no matter how high, can't compare with everyone's wisdom. Therefore, only with one heart and one mind can we do things more comprehensively.
Aesop's fable 5 The wolf came to the river and saw the lamb drinking water.
The wolf wanted to eat the lamb very much, so he deliberately found fault and said, "You polluted the water I drank! What are you worried about? "
The wolf and the lamb were taken aback and said gently, "How could I get the water you drink dirty?" You stand upstream, and the water flows from you to me, not from me to you. "
The wolf said angrily, "even so, you are still a bad guy!" " I heard you spoke ill of me behind my back last year! "
The poor lamb cried, "oh, dear Mr. wolf, that won't happen." I was not born last year! " "
The wolf didn't want to argue any more, bared his teeth, approached the lamb and shouted, "you little villain!" " Either you or your father speaks ill of me. It's all the same anyway. "He said, and rushed to the lamb.
Aesop's Fables 6 Western jackdaw and the Fox in the West
A hungry western Western jackdaw stands on a fig tree. He found figs hard and green, so he waited for them to grow up and mature. The fox saw Western jackdaw standing there all the time, asked why, and then said, "Alas, my friend, you are so confused. All you know is that it's useless to wait blindly. I can only deceive myself and others, and I will never fill my stomach. "
This story is about people who just wait but don't know how to act hard.
Aesop's fable 7 wild donkey and domestic donkey
When the wild donkey saw the domestic donkey lying comfortably in a sunny place, he went over and praised it for its strong body and delicious food. Later, the wild donkey saw the donkey carrying heavy goods at home, and the donkey man followed with a stick. The wild donkey said, "I don't think you are happy now." I can see that you can't get that little enjoyment without suffering. "
In other words, people need not envy the benefits of paying a heavy price.
Aesop's fable 8 Western jackdaw in the west is the king of birds.
Zeus wanted to make a king for the birds, so he appointed a date and asked all the birds to attend on time in order to choose the most beautiful one as king.
All the birds want to be the most beautiful, so they rushed to the river to freshen up. Western jackdaw in the west is very anxious. He knows that he is not beautiful, but he also hopes that he can be selected. When he came to the river, he found that many birds had lost a lot of feathers, so he had a brainwave, picked up all the feathers, carefully inserted them on himself, and then glued them on.
Finally, the appointed day came, and all the birds came to Zeus together. Zeus looked around and saw the colorful feathers of Western jackdaw in the west, which were particularly beautiful among the birds, so he was ready to make it king.
These birds are very angry. They plucked their feathers from Western jackdaw in the west. Western Western jackdaw lost all its beautiful feathers and became an ugly western Western jackdaw.
Story comment: With the help of other people's things, you will only get false beauty. When something that doesn't belong to you is peeled off, it will show its true colors.
Aesop's fable 9 donkey buyer
Someone bought a donkey and wanted to take it away for a try. He led the donkey to the horse and stood it in front of the manger. The donkey came to a lazy donkey. So the person who bought the donkey immediately put a halter on the donkey and took it back to the seller of the donkey. The seller asked, is this method reliable? The man replied, "There is no doubt. In my opinion, what kind of friends I choose, I am what kind of person. "
In other words, birds of a feather flock together.
Aesop's fable 10 the old wolf sent the little wolf out of the hole to take a walk on the edge of the forest, with a patrol. See if you're lucky to have lunch. If you want to buy a bargain, the shepherd should be the master. Little Wolf should learn to make a living in his father's business.
The little wolf ran back and said, "Come with me. My information is accurate and lunch is ready. " There is a big sheep at the foot of the mountain. One sheep is fatter than the other, so it's enough to drag one to eat. "
The old wolf said, "wait a minute, I have to find out what kind of shepherd it is."
"I heard that the shepherd is very good, very good. I have found the herd around me. Those hounds are poor and thin, and they don't look so fierce. "
The old wolf shook his head and said, "if you say so, you won't succeed." Maybe we will ruin our lives. Shepherds are capable, but hounds are not. Let's go! I'll take you somewhere else, and our safety will be greatly guaranteed. The shepherds there are really confused, the shepherds are confused, and there are no more hounds. "
A rooster was digging in the compost heap when suddenly he found a pearl. He said, "What's the use of this thing?" This is nothing but worthless waste! Isn't it stupid for people to hold it so high? In my opinion, if I can find barley particles, it will make me much happier. Although it's not eye-catching, I can still eat. "
Ignorant people always judge things like this, and everything they don't understand is useless.
There is a clay 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 near me. Even if I accidentally meet you myself, I will break it. "
In other words, it is not safe to be with tough people.
Doctors treat patients. The patient finally died, and the doctor said to the mourners, "If the patient had given up drinking and lavage before he died, he would not have died." The other person present replied, "Dr. Gao Ming, it is useless for you to say these words now." You should use these words to give advice to patients when they are sick. "
This story shows that when friends are in trouble, they should help them in time, instead of saying useless empty words afterwards.
Aesop's fable 1 1 poor big fish.
There is a pond beside the forest, which is full of butterflies, flowers, frogs and small fish. Here is a lively and lovely little fish. It is always alive and kicking, swimming around and chasing dragonflies.
There is a big fish named Mr. Fat. Come from a fierce and active family. Every day, the big fish always attacks the small fish two or three times to show its strength.
There is a fisherman who comes to this pond to fish every day, but he never gets much. One day, he decided to buy a net to save time. At dawn, he quietly came to the pond, and then carefully put down the fishing net. Neither fish has ever seen a fishing net, so when the fisherman closed the net, they were caught in it. The little fish struggled to escape from the mesh, and Mr. Fat felt that he would rather be a little fish.
This fable tells us that little people are easy to be saved, but famous people are hard to escape danger.
Aesop's Fables 12 The Eagle and the Fox
Shan Ying and the fox became friends. In order to strengthen their friendship, they decided to live together. So the eagle flew to a big tree, built a nest to hatch its offspring, and the fox got into the bushes under the tree to give birth.
One day, the fox went out for food, and the eagle just stopped cooking. He flew into the bush, snatched the little fox away and had a hearty meal with the little eagle. When the fox came back, he knew that the eagle had done it, and he felt sad for the death of his child. What saddens him most is that he can't take revenge at the moment, because he is an animal and can only run on the ground and can't chase birds. Therefore, he had to stand at a distance and curse the enemy. This is power.
Soon, the eagle's treachery was also severely punished. Once, someone killed sheep in the wild to sacrifice to God, and the eagle flew down, grabbed mutton with fire from the altar and took it back to his nest. At this time, a strong wind blew, and the tiny dry branches in the nest immediately ignited a fierce flame. Those fledgling eagles were burned to death and fell from trees. The fox ran to the eagle.
This story shows that God will punish a faithless person, even if the victim is weak and unable to retaliate against him.
Aesop's Fables 13 In fact, when I was eight or nine years old, Aesop's Fables was a frequent visitor at my bedside and I always flipped through it before going to bed. Read it again now, it is better to say that the old friends are reunited. It's just that when I saw you again, my feelings changed.
When I was a child, I just regarded it as a good pastime when I couldn't sleep. If I have to say what I think, it should be interesting, but I am vague about the truth I got. It feels a little heavy to read it again now. Ask me why, maybe because of the story, I thought of this society. For example, the foxes in the story are mostly cunning and cold-blooded, just like the dark people in this society. Sometimes, false smiles and gorgeous lies push unsuspecting people to the abyss. There are also some ignorant animals, just like the greedy people in this society, who want to enjoy success and the final result is the same as them. Of course, is it just because of these that it seems heavy? No, it's actually because most of the things that happen in this book are in nature, and the survival of the fittest in nature cannot be changed. Looking at this society, the same is true. Animals in nature are cunning, clever and kind, and we have no ability to distinguish them. People in this society will not put up a sign saying that I am a good person, so this book reminds me to pay attention to distinguish between good people and bad people and treat them differently.
There are not only cunning and fierce villains in nature, but also traps all the time. For example, in the short story "The Goat and the Fox Fall into the Well", the fox accidentally fell into the well because he wanted to drink water, so as to trick the thirsty goat into coming down, and thus lied that the water was delicious to deceive the goat. When the goat was tricked into falling into the well, he carried out his own plan to get himself up, but ignored the goat. The goat was trapped because it fell into the fox's trap unguarded. This is not entirely because the fox is cunning, but mainly because the goat is not alert enough, so he is not aware of the danger. This also sounded the alarm for me who has always been soft-hearted. It is essential to guard against people.
Aesop's Fables really needs to be read once in a while, because the feelings are different and the mood is really different. When you grow up, your book should not only be fairy tales, not all fairy tales are beautiful, but more fairy tales in society, which may be more cruel and experienced. Is what we should learn in this society without being hurt.
Aesop's fables 14 patients and doctors
A man was ill, and the doctor asked him how he was. He said he sweated too much. The doctor said, "That's good." The second time I asked him how he was, he said he was afraid of the cold and was shaking badly. The doctor said, "That's not bad." The third time the doctor came to ask him about his illness, he said he had loose bowels now. The doctor said, "This is still very good." A relative of the patient came to see him and asked him how he was. He said, "I'm dying because of these good things."
The story is that people who can only say good things can bring danger to people.
Donkeys and frogs
The donkey carried the wood across the pond, slipped and fell into the water, and burst into tears. The frog in the pond heard his cry and said, "hey, friend, you were so sad when you fell;" What should I do if I live here as long as we do? "
The story is like this, some people have not suffered much, and a little frustration is unbearable.
Voyager
Several people went out to sea by boat. The climate of the ocean changes greatly. No sooner had the ship sailed into the sea than it was hit by strong winds and waves, and the ship was almost swallowed up by the waves. A man tore his clothes, cried loudly and sadly, prayed for God's protection, and vowed that if he could be saved, he would repay him. Soon after, the storm passed and the sea was calm again. Everyone prayed for each other to survive, dance and be very happy. The honest helmsman said to them, "Friends, it is really worth celebrating to be alive. But we must also bravely face the storm that may come again. "
This story warns people that when the weather is unpredictable and calm, they should be alert to the stormy waves that may come at any time.
Pedestrians and driftwood
Several pedestrians walked along the beach together and came to a highland. They saw the wood floating in the distance of the sea and thought it must be a seagoing ship. So they waited for it to land and wanted to take this boat. When the oncoming wind blew the driftwood closer to the shore, they thought it was not a big ship, but a small boat, still waiting there hopefully. A big wave sent the wood to the shore, only to find that it was a piece of wood and said to each other, "This boring thing made us wait for nothing!" " "
This story shows that some people have great hopes for things they don't fully understand, but once they understand, they are disappointed.
The rich and the shoemaker
A rich man lives next door to a shoemaker. The rich couldn't stand the smell of leather and forced the cobbler to move many times. The shoemaker always said to move at once, but he always delayed moving. This has been dragging on. Over time, the rich have become accustomed to the stench of leather, so they no longer criticize the cobbler.
This story shows that habits can eliminate bad feelings about things. As the saying goes, habit becomes nature.
Wasps, partridges and farmers
Once, wasps and partridges flew to the farmer for water because they were thirsty. They promised to repay the farmer, and partridge promised to loosen the soil for the vineyard so as to bear rich fruits. The wasp promised to protect the vineyard and drive away people who steal food with thorns. The farmer said, "I have two cows. They never promise anything, but they do everything. So wouldn't it be better if I gave them the water you wanted? "
This story is about people who make promises casually but don't intend to do them.
Donkeys and frogs
The donkey carried the wood across the pond, slipped and fell into the water, and burst into tears. The frog in the pond heard his cry and said, "hey, friend, you were so sad when you fell;" What should I do if I live here as long as we do? "
The story is like this, some people have not suffered much, and a little frustration is unbearable.
The woodcutter and Hermes
A woodcutter is chopping wood by the river. He accidentally dropped his axe into the river and was washed away by it. He sat on the river bank and burst into tears. Hermes knew about it and felt sorry for him. After asking why, he went down to the river and picked up a golden axe. He asked if it was his, and he said no; Then Hermes picked up a silver axe and asked him if he had fallen, but he still said no; When Hermes went down for the third time and picked up the woodcutter's own axe, the woodcutter said that this was the one he had lost.
Hermes appreciated the woodcutter's honesty, so he gave him both a gold axe and a silver axe as gifts. The woodcutter went home with three axes and told his friends the story in detail. One of them was very jealous, so he decided to take a chance. He ran to the river, deliberately threw the axe into the rapids, and then sat there crying. Hermes came to him and asked him why he was crying, so he went to the river, picked up a golden axe and asked him if he had lost it. The man said happily, "Ah, exactly, exactly!" "His greedy and dishonest appearance was hated by Hermes. Hermes not only didn't give him the golden axe, but also didn't give him his own axe.
The story of enlightenment shows that honest people will get help from others, and cunning people will be spurned.
Aesop's fable 15 timid hunter and woodcutter
There is a hunter looking for the lion's footprints. He asked a woodcutter if he had found the lion's footprints. The woodcutter said, "Only the lion itself." The hunter turned pale and trembled with fear and said, "I only searched its footprints, not the lion itself."
Story comment: Some people's bravery only stays in words, not in actions.
