Once upon a time, there was a rooster who thought he was beautiful. He sang proudly all day: "The rooster is really beautiful, with a bright red crown and golden feet, better than me."
One day, the rooster sang upright and came to a big tree. He saw a woodpecker and said, "Woodpecker with a long mouth, let's see who is beautiful." The woodpecker said while busy, "Sorry, there are bugs in the old tree. I want to cure him. " The rooster listened, sang and swaggered away.
The rooster came to an orchard, saw a bee and said, "Little bee, with bulging eyes, let's see who is beautiful." The bee said without looking up, "I'm sorry, the fruit trees are blooming, and I want to pick honey." The rooster sang again and swaggered away.
The cock came to the edge of a rice field and saw a frog. He said, "Frog with a big belly, let's see who is beautiful." The frog glared and said, "Sorry, there are pests in the rice fields. I want to catch pests. " The rooster can't compete with anyone, so he has to go back.
On the way, the rooster met an old horse carrying grain and said sadly, "Uncle Ma Lao, I'm going to compete with woodpeckers, bees and frogs. Why do they ignore me? " Ma Lao said: "Because they know that beauty depends not only on appearance, but also on whether it can help people do things."
The rooster was ashamed to hear that, and he would never compare his beauty with anyone again. He barks at dawn every day, urging people to get up early again and again.
Extended data:
The beautiful rooster personifies animals and tells people the following truth in an easy-to-understand fairy tale way:
1, don't care too much about the beauty of appearance. The beauty of appearance may bring people a sense of vanity, but life can't just have a beautiful appearance, but more importantly, it is to have a beautiful heart.
Don't exaggerate and show off your advantages too much, so even if it can bring temporary happiness, this happiness is empty, and it will only leave endless nothingness afterwards.
What you do is more important than what you say. You need to be a pragmatic person. Only when what you do is truly meaningful and valuable can you truly feel your personal value.
4. Be modest.
