This story tells us that if we are too greedy, we may get nothing.
Legend has it that in Song Renzong's time, in a village in Shenze, there was a family with only a mother and a son. Mother is old and ill, so she can't work. Her son Wang Kuang is thirty years old and hasn't got a wife yet. He lives by selling some grass, and his life is very difficult.
On this day, Wang Kuang went to the north of the village to pull weeds as usual. Inadvertently, he found a seven-inch-long spotted snake in the grass, covered in injuries and unable to move. The king moved with compassion and took it home. He carefully cleaned and coated it. When the snake woke up, it nodded its thanks to Wang Kuang. Mother and son were very happy and soon made up a small basket for it. From then on, Wang Meng and his mother took care of the snake carefully. The wound of the snake gradually healed, and the body of the snake gradually grew up. It always seemed to talk to them. It's very cute. It adds a lot of fun to the monotonous and lonely life of mother and son.
As the days passed, the king jumped up to mow the grass, the mother kept the house, and the little snake was in the basket all day. One day, the little snake felt bored in the house and climbed into the yard to bask in the sun. Unexpectedly, the snake was exposed to the sun and became thick and long, like a girder. The queen mother screamed and fainted at such a scene. By the time Wang Meng came back, the snake had returned to the house and returned to its original shape, but he anxiously said to Wang Meng in human language, "I was rude today and scared my mother to death." Take three skins from me, get some weeds, and put them in a pot to make soup for mom to drink. " Wang Qian said, "No, it will damage your health. Think of another way! " The spotted snake urged, "Never mind, hurry up, I can catch it." . "Wang Qian had to do it with tears in her eyes. Mom woke up soon after eating the soup. Both mother and son were grateful and puzzled, but neither said anything. Wang jumped back to the scene of putting golden light in the snake basket every night, thinking that this snake was extraordinary.
It is said that Song Renzong doesn't care about state affairs all day, and life in the palace goes on day after day. There is nothing new. He is very boring. If he wants to play the night pearl, he will put up a notice. Whoever can provide one will be rewarded. The story reached the ears of Wang Kuang. When he came home, he told the snake. The snake pondered for a while and said, "You have been very kind to me these years. You saved my life. You always wanted to repay me, but you never got a chance. Now I can finally do something for you. " To tell the truth, my eyes are two night pearls. If you gouge out one of my eyes and give it to the emperor, you will be promoted and made a fortune, and your mother can spend her old age safely. "Wang was very happy after hearing this, but after all, he had feelings for snakes and couldn't bear to do so. He said, "It's cruel to do that, and you will be in unbearable pain." The snake said, "it doesn't matter, I can resist." "So the king accidentally gouged out one eye of the snake and went to the capital the next day to present the orb to the emperor. Man Wu has never seen such a strange orb and is full of praise. At night, the sphere emits strange light, which illuminates the whole courtyard. The emperor was very happy. He made the king a high official and gave him a lot of gold and silver.
When the emperor saw the sphere, he admired it and took it for himself. Queen Nishinomiya saw it and wanted one, too. As a last resort, Song Renzong ordered to look for the orb again, and said that he would give the position of prime minister to the second person who proposed the treasure. Wang Jiyi, I got the second eye of the snake and offered it. Isn't that mine, Prime Minister? So he went to the emperor and said he could find another one. The emperor happily gave the Prime Minister to him. Unexpectedly, when Wang Kuang's guards went to get the second eye, the snake refused to give it anyway, saying that he wanted to see Wang Kuang, so Wang Kuang had to come to see the snake himself. When the snake saw the king, he told him bluntly, "I have given one eye to repay you. You have been promoted and made a fortune. Don't want my second eye." People should not be greedy. "Wang Luan has been possessed by a ghost for a long time, but he won't listen. He said brazenly, "Don't I want to be the prime minister? If you don't give it to me, how can I be? Besides, I have already told the emperor about this matter, and the official gave it to me. Don't give me a bad ending, just help me! " He insisted on taking the second eye. When the snake saw that it had become so greedy and cruel, it got angry a long time ago and said, "OK! You take the knife! However, you have to put me in the yard to get it. " Wang Zao couldn't wait to analyze the snake's words. He agreed, so he put the snake in the sunny yard and turned back to the house to get the knife. When he came out to dig out the treasure, the snake body had become a girder, panting at him with his mouth open, and Wang Zao was scared out of his wits. It was too late to run, and the snake swallowed the greedy man in one bite.

Just as the elephant had a headache, the snake opened its mouth and signaled that the elephant would enter its body to cut the snake's gall. The elephant entered the snake's body, felt the snake's pain, cut off the snake's gall and cured its mother's illness.
But the greedy mother wants to cut the snake's gall again. As a result, when cutting the snake gall, the snake was in unbearable pain, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed the elephant.

The little snake slowly grew into a big snake. When he could live by himself, the farmer put it in the cave behind the mountain, drank the mountain spring when he was thirsty, and ate wild fruit when he was hungry. The serpent is naturally grateful to the farmer.
A few days later, a small ganoderma lucidum grew out of the hole of the serpent. It is carefully guarded and cultivated, and the longer Ganoderma lucidum grows, the more magical it becomes. People want it, but no one dares to go near it because of the protection of snakes.
When the emperor knew about this, he let people post the imperial list everywhere: whoever can pick this ganoderma lucidum will be rewarded. The farmer wanted a reward, so he begged the serpent to give him Ganoderma lucidum. The serpent agreed to his request, and the farmer gave Ganoderma lucidum to the emperor and got a batch of gold and silver treasures.
A few days later, the queen became blind, and the doctor said that only the eyes of dragons and snakes could be cured. The emperor thought of the farmer who worshipped Ganoderma lucidum again and ordered him to dig the eyes of the serpent. Promise him to be prime minister after his success.
The farmer made a fortune and wanted to be an official, so he came to beg the serpent to give him an eye. The serpent had to bite the bullet and let him gouge out an eye. The queen's eyes saw again and the farmer became the prime minister.
After he became prime minister, he was pampered and enjoyed endless wealth, fearing that he would die one day and leave this rich family behind. So, I thought of a way to live forever.
I heard that eating the heart of the dragon and snake can make me live forever, so I went to the mountain to find the big snake and begged him to give him another heart to make him live forever.
Seeing that he was so greedy, the serpent opened his mouth to let him dig. As soon as the greedy prime minister approached, he was swallowed by the serpent and never came back.

The fable of greed 7 The fox is a very clever guy. It often steals chickens from farmers' homes, and it often succeeds. Although farmers have tried many ways to deal with foxes, they can't help but say that foxes are always hard to prevent.
Once, the fox pried open a crack in the door of the henhouse, and it forced its way in. Suddenly it caught a fat and big rooster, which was its favorite thing, and it wolfed it down. The fox is clever. He knows that if he eats too much, it will be difficult to go out, and the consequences will be very serious.
Thinking of this, the fox decided to eat only half a chicken, so there was no danger. After a while, the fox ate half a chicken. It stopped talking. However, looking at the remaining half of the fat chicken, the fox was really unwilling. Chicken is really delicious. So, it said to itself, take a few more bites. It doesn't matter if you have a few more bites anyway.
After eating a few bites of fat, the fox is ready to go back the same way. At this time, there was movement outside, and the fox thought that the owner of the chicken must have come out to see it. Let's go out later.
Time flows quietly and there is no noise outside. The fox feels safe now, and it is ready to run away. However, as soon as it reached the door of the henhouse, it stopped. It thought the chicken was almost finished, and it was a pity to leave it. Try to go out after dinner. So, the fox ate up the last part of the chicken with three times five divided by two.
The fox intends to leave. When it came to the door again, it found itself unable to get out. It took a lot of effort, but to no avail.
It was scared and hit its mouth with its fist. I said to myself, it's all my fault, and now my life is at stake. what can I do? Foxes are like ants on hot bricks, but there is nothing they can do.
At dawn, the fox stayed quietly in the henhouse, trying to avoid being found by the owner of the chicken. The owner of the chicken didn't find anything unusual in the henhouse. He opened the door of the henhouse as usual. The fox found the chance to escape, so he jumped out and ran away without looking back.
After returning to the cave, the fox was shocked. It thinks that if the owner of the chicken finds himself in the henhouse, he will definitely die. This escape can be said to be a fluke, and fluke is unreliable. It tells itself to learn this lesson and never make fun of its own life again.
One day, the fox went into the henhouse again. Like last time, the fox caught another fat chicken. The fox warned himself never to make the last mistake. It began to eat chicken and soon ate half of it. It knows this is its safety limit. If you exceed this limit, you will be trapped in the henhouse like last time. Then your life is in danger. However, the remaining half chicken is too attractive to it, and it is very painful. Think about how hard it is to get the fox to give up his favorite chicken.
The fox decided to stay with half a chicken and try to kill two birds with one stone. After a long time, the fox felt that his stomach was much smaller. It thought, maybe the first half of the chicken has been digested. So, it decided to try it next to the door of the henhouse every time it took a bite, and took a bite when it felt that there was no problem going out. After many attempts, the fox can go out safely. Later, the fox thought it was too timid to go on like this, and maybe there would be no problem if he ate the whole chicken. So, it let go of its belly and ate all the remaining chickens.
When it was about to leave, it found that it could never come out like last time. Like last time, it gave itself a hard punch, saying in its heart that it was greed again. Perhaps, this time will not be as lucky as last time. Last time the owner of the henhouse found that a chicken had been stolen, he would take preventive measures. It is in a hurry, but there is nothing to do but wait for fate.
The sun came out from the hillside and the farmer opened the door of the henhouse. The fox thought, the chance to escape came again. So, it can't wait to go out. However, it suddenly fell into the bag prepared by the chicken owner. The owner of the chicken slammed the bag on the ground, and the fox felt that his internal organs were broken, but he held back the pain and did not move to confuse the farmers. The farmer found the fox motionless and thought it was dead. So I took it out of my bag and put it on the ground. The fox was ecstatic. He jumped to his feet and escaped again.
Since then, the fox has not gone to the farmer's henhouse to steal chickens for many days.
One day, the fox was so greedy that he decided to steal chickens from the henhouse again. When he left, he made three rules for himself. Because it knows that it has escaped twice, if it is trapped in the henhouse for the third time, it may be dead. The fox skillfully entered the henhouse and caught a fat chicken as he wished. However, no matter how the fox warned himself, he still made the same mistake as before.
There is a saying: things are only three. This time, the fox didn't continue its good luck. Fell into the hands of the chicken owner and was skinned.
The chicken owner looked at the fox's skin and said to himself, "No matter how clever your brain is, it's useless."
The fable of greed 8 greedy two mice
Once upon a time, there were two mice, one white and the other black. One day, they found that there was not much food in their warehouse, so they discussed taking out the rest of the food. When they passed a small bridge, they saw an old man lying there dying, so they came forward to help. It turns out that the old man has not eaten for many days and is starving. The two mice looked at each other and gave the food to the old man without hesitation.
The old man disappeared after getting the food, leaving a note that read:
Go on, cross three rivers and climb three mountains. You will find food, but don't be too greedy!
It turns out that the old man is a fairy.
So they walked for a long time. Finally, after crossing three rivers and three mountains, they saw a castle made of bronze, where they met a lot of rice. The owner of the castle told them that they could stay and enjoy the rice for life as long as they didn't go forward, so the black and white mouse happily agreed.
I don't know how many years passed. One day, the black mouse said to the white mouse, we are tired of eating these rice every day. Why don't we go and see what else there is? Hearing this, the mouse agreed and said, that's what he thought! So they hit the road again.
This time, they not only found a lot of rice in a silver castle, but also found a lot of wine and delicious food. The two mice cheered and were very proud of their choice to leave the bronze castle. At this time, the owner of the castle told them that as long as they didn't go forward, they could stay and enjoy the food for life. The two mice agreed happily.
Similarly, many years have passed. One day, the two mice began to get tired of this life again, so the white mouse said, the owner of the castle won't let us go forward. Is the front better? Why don't we go ahead and see what happens? Hearing this, the black mouse immediately agreed, so they continued.
The trip leads to a golden castle. When they entered the castle, the two mice saw not only wine and delicious food, but also delicious food. At the same time, when they enjoy these foods, many angels will serve them like servants, and the whole castle people regard them as guests. At this time, the owner of the castle also told them to give them the whole castle as long as they stopped moving forward. So the two mice survived again.
Time flies like an arrow, countless years have passed, and the two mice began to be restless and tired of this life. They completely forgot the contents of the note given by the old man before. Finally, one day, two mice were on their way again.
This time, they walked for a long time and came to a black castle. They think there will be better food waiting for them this time. However, when they went in, they found that this was the place where the devil lived. The whole castle is hell. They used to enjoy happiness for many years, but now they will suffer for many years. But now it's too late to regret, because the devil has caught them. ...
From then on, the two mice began an endless painful life.

Short stories:
A beggar was walking in the street in dismay.
His clothes are old enough to see his flesh, and his face is yellow and thin. It seems that he hasn't had a full meal for a long time.
As he walked, he muttered, if only he could have a full meal! Why am I so poor? He hates poverty and complains that the goddess of fate doesn't take care of herself.
Just then, the goddess of fate appeared in front of the beggar.
The beggar rubbed his muddy eyes and recognized it as the goddess of fate. He quickly fell to his knees and pleaded in a low voice, "Dear Destiny, help me this poor person!" " Have pity on me, I have nothing now. "
Fate kindly asked the beggar, "Then tell me, what do you want most?"
Beggars have long forgotten their wishes and opened their mouths and said, "I want gold!" " "
Fate said, "Take off your coat and pick it up. But don't take too much, or your clothes will burst. This kind of gold is only gold if it is caught and firmly wrapped in clothes. If you fall to the ground, it will become garbage. "
The beggar was overjoyed and took off his clothes after three times five divided by two.
With a flick of her hand, the goddess of fate saw gold shining like a meteor shower, falling on the beggar's clothes one by one and gradually accumulating into a small golden mountain.
The goddess of fate said, "Look out! Your clothes will be crushed. If you put more gold in it, they will fall. "
The beggar looked at the flying gold nuggets, his eyes shining, but he didn't listen to the goddess' advice. He just shouted excitedly, "give more, give more!" " "
Just as he shouted, there was a loud bang, and a big hole opened in his shabby clothes.
Gold fell to the ground and turned into bricks, glass and pebbles at the moment of landing.
Destiny has disappeared.
Beggars become nothing again.
He had to put on that tattered dress and continue begging for a living.
