"What is this?"
Sophia Kao said to her neighbor Xiaohe:
When I saw you,
You are always rolling!
Dear sister, aren't you tired?
I almost always see it.
You will be carrying a heavy cargo ship,
Walking for a while with a long string of wood,
Paddles and boats,
I can hardly count them.
"When will you put aside such a career?
If it were me, to be honest,
I'm really worried!
How good my fate is,
By contrast, you and I are so different! "
"Of course, I'm not famous,
I didn't appear on the map,
Across the country like you,
There is no bard to play the piano and sing for me.
-all this is actually empty. "
However, I lay leisurely in the soft soil.
Like a lady lying on a duck down cushion.
I don't have to worry about big boats and rafts,
You don't have to consider how heavy the rowing boat is.
At most one or two leaves are blown off by the breeze.
Swing gently on my chest. "
"This carefree life is carefree,
What can be replaced?
No matter how busy the world is,
I only study philosophy when I sleep. "
"Ah, are you speculating about philosophy?"
The river replied:
"Water needs to flow to keep it clean,
Have you forgotten this law of nature? "
"I am a big river,
That's because I follow this rule,
Regardless of your own comfort.
I use a steady stream of clean water,
It brings benefits to people every year.
This makes me respected and honored.
Maybe I will never stop running;
But you have long been forgotten, and no one has mentioned you. "
What the river said really came true.
The river has been flowing ever since,
The poor pond silted up year after year,
The whole place is covered with moss,
Let reeds cover it,
Finally, it was completely dry.
Talent will decline if it is not used.
Will gradually fade away;
Once talent is dominated by laziness,
It does nothing.
