Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
母蟹对小蟹说:“你不要横爬,为什么不直着走?”他答道:“妈妈,请您亲自教我怎样直走,我将照着你的样子走。”可母蟹根本不会直走,于是小蟹说她笨。
这是说,教育者自己必须正直地生活,正直地走,才能去教导别人。
开始我们用水来擦,可怎么也擦不掉。爸爸拿来了铲子,但是我费了九牛二虎之力才刮了一小块不干胶。看看这大片的不干胶痕迹,这样刮要刮到什么时候呀?我正犯难,爸爸突然要我去拿柜子里的酒精和棉签来,不好,是不是爸爸弄破了手,我忙去拿来酒精和棉签递给爸爸。令我奇怪的.是,爸爸没有把酒精涂在手上,而是涂在墙上,再用铲子铲,用抹布擦,效果比刚才好多了。我也用酒精棉签来涂不干胶,学着爸爸再用铲子铲和抹布擦。擦了一遍,我斜着一看,发现有些地方还有一层粘粘的皮,我再加工,才擦了个干干净净。这时候的我,已经是满头大汗了,再看看爸爸,也是满头大汗。
我和爸爸忙了两个多小时,终于完成了清洗。哈哈,幸好有酒精帮忙,不然恐怕四小时也完不成。不过我有点迷惑,“为什么涂了一层酒精就容易擦呢?”我问爸爸,爸爸告诉我:“不干胶不溶解于水,而溶解于酒精。这些道理以后你学了化学就知道了。”我很高兴,今天我不仅体验了工作的辛苦,还增长了科学知识。
乌鸦口渴得要命,飞到一只大水罐旁,水罐里没有很多水,他想尽了办法,仍喝不到。于是,他就使出全身力气去推,想把罐推倒,倒出水来,而大水罐却推也推不动。这时,乌鸦想起了他曾经使用的办法,用口叼着石子投到水罐里,随着石子的增多,罐里的水也就逐渐地升高了。最后,乌鸦高兴地喝到了水,解了口渴。
这故事说明:智慧往往胜过力气。
