Once upon a time, there was a man in the Song Dynasty who had a fertile land. He managed the land diligently and gained a lot. There is a stump in the field. When he is tired from work, he will have a rest beside him. ?
One day, when he was farming in the field, a rabbit came from nowhere and ran away in a hurry, and bumped into a bag on the stump. He ran over and looked very happy: "What a lucky day! I got a rabbit for nothing! " When he walked home with a rabbit in his hand, he proudly thought, "If I wait here every day to harvest a rabbit, I won't be so tired in the future." " ?
So, from the next day, he put down his hoe and stood by the stump at the edge of the field every day, waiting for the rabbit to run over and kill it on the stump. As time went by, the fields were covered with weeds and desolate. Song people are still waiting by the stump, but no rabbit has ever killed them.
In fact, it is very accidental that the rabbit crashed into a stump and died. Doesn't mean that other rabbits will definitely die on this stump. However, the farmer actually took accident as necessity, and did not hesitate to put down his farm tools, leaving his fields barren and waiting for accidental harvest. ?
This story tells us: don't take chances, don't always think about getting something for nothing, if you don't work hard and hope for unexpected wealth, the result will only be a draw with a sieve. Our life is created bit by bit with our own hands. If you always think about getting something for nothing, then life will be abandoned like this field of Song people. ?
People often use this fable to satirize those who regard accidental events as eternal laws, refuse to work hard and just want to get unexpected gains. So don't stick to dogma and rules, but actively create results.
