有一只信鸽,长期刻苦练飞,练得一身好本领。它常以其灵巧的飞行,摆脱老鹰的追捕。
它在某次飞行比赛中,获得冠军,俱乐部负责人授与它金质奖章。
它沾沾自喜地把奖章挂在翅膀上,从此不再练习飞行。
后来,在一次飞行中,竟被老鹰捕食。
感悟:自满是荣誉的错觉,是失败的开始。有了成就之后,如果不继续努力,就会被人击倒。
凶狠的豺狼将可怜的小白兔吃了,于是狮子大王审判将豺狼斩首示众。
大猪头判官写完狮子大王宣布的“判令”后,就马上宣判执行,动物们都等待着砍掉豺狼的脑袋。
大猪头判官一声“执行”令下,刽子手举起大刀将豺狼的一只手砍了下来。
动物们愤怒起来:“这是掩人耳目,包庇坏蛋!”
狮子大王大怒:“查一查,这是怎么回事?”
后来一查,原来是马虎的大猪头判官写了错别字,把“斩首”写成了“斩手”。
狼误吞下了一块骨头,十分难受,四处奔走,寻访医生。他遇见了鹭鸶,谈定酬金请他取出骨头,鹭鸶把自己的头伸进狼的喉咙里,叼出了骨头,便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答说:“喂,朋友,你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来,难道还不满足,怎么还要讲报酬?”
这故事说明,对坏人行善的报酬,就是认识坏人不讲信用的本质。
Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"
Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
"Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."
After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.
一口废井里住着一只青蛙。有一天,青蛙在井边碰上了一只从海里来的大龟。 青蛙就对海龟夸口说:“你看,我住在这里多快乐!有时高兴了,就在井栏边跳跃一阵;疲倦了,就回到井里,睡在砖洞边一回。或者只留出头和嘴巴,安安静静地把全身泡在水里:或者在软绵绵的泥浆里散一回步,也很舒适。看看那些虾和蝌虾,谁也此不上我。而且,我是这个井里的主人,在这井里极自由自在,你为什么不常到井里来游赏呢!” 那海龟听了青蛙的话,倒真想进去看看。但它的左脚还没有整个伸进去,右脚就已经绊住了。它连忙后退了两步,把大海的情形告诉青蛙说:“你看过海吗?海的广大,哪止千里;海的'深度,哪只千来丈。古时候,十年有九年大水,海里的水,并不涨了多少;后来,八年里有七年大早,海里的水,也不见得浅了多少。可见大海是不受旱涝影响的。住在那样的大海里,才是真的快乐呢!” 井蛙听了海龟的一番话,吃惊地呆在那里,再没有话可说了。
寓意:宇宙无终极,学识无穷尽。这则寓言告诫人们,千万不要因一孔之见,便洋洋自得,不要因一得之功,便沾沾自喜。
鸭子在散步,见狐狸贼头贼脑地来了。
情况危急,鸭子忽生一计,它一动不动地趴在地上,伸长脖子,翻着白眼,翅膀紧紧地贴着躯体,活像一具僵的尸体。狐狸见了,便兴趣索然地跑开了。
鸭子见狐狸中了计,高兴得扯着嗓子“呱……”地唱起歌来。
狐狸听见声音,身便向它追去。可怜的鸭子,就在胜利的时刻去了。
