The Tortoise and the Hare
Rabbit and tortoise
One day, the rabbit laughed at the tortoise's short feet and slow speed. The tortoise replied:
"You may be as fast as the wind, but I will beat you in the game!"
The rabbit thought the idea was impossible, and he agreed to the proposal. Everyone agrees that the fox should choose the route and decide the outcome.
It's the day of the competition. The tortoise and the rabbit set off together.
The tortoise did not stop for a moment, but walked slowly and steadily until it reached the finish line. The rabbit runs very fast, so it stops to lie down and rest. But he soon fell asleep. Finally, he woke up and ran as fast as he could. But when he reached the finish line, he saw that the tortoise was already there. Through her efforts, it slept comfortably. One day, the rabbit laughed at the tortoise for crawling slowly. The tortoise said, "Even if you run as fast as the wind, I will compete with you!" " The rabbit thought that it was impossible for the tortoise to beat it. So the rabbit agreed to the game, as if to see the result of the game. At the beginning of the race, the tortoise and the rabbit started at the same time. On this track, the tortoise kept climbing forward, although it climbed slowly, but the pace was firmly moving towards the finish line. The rabbit ran very fast and lay down to sleep halfway. When the rabbit wakes up, it runs to the finish line as fast as it can. But when it was near the finish line, it saw that the tortoise had fallen asleep at the finish line.
Waiting for unexpected gains
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a farmer in Song State. One day, he was working in the field when he suddenly saw a rabbit bump into a stump. I accidentally broke its neck. The farmer took the rabbit home and cooked himself a delicious meal. That night, he thought, "I don't need to work so hard." All I have to do is wait for a rabbit by the stump every day. So from then on, he gave up farming and just sat by the stump waiting for the rabbit to run into it.
This idiom is ironic (sarcastic, sarcastic) that people just wait for luck instead of trying to get what they need.
There was a farmer in Song State who was digging in the field. Suddenly, he saw a rabbit running out of the grass beside him in a panic, hitting a stump by the field and lying there motionless. The farmer went over and saw that the rabbit was dead. It broke its neck because it ran too fast. The farmer was very happy and picked up a fat and big rabbit effortlessly. He thought; If rabbits can be found every day, life will be easier. Since then, he has never tried farming again. He put his hoe beside him every day and lay in front of the stump, waiting for the second and third rabbits to hit the stump by themselves. There are so many cheap things in the world. Of course, the farmer didn't pick up the killed hare again, but his field was deserted.
