A rich man was killed while sightseeing at sea and was rescued by a fisherman.
The rich man decided to give the fisherman a large sum of money in return. He put forward two schemes: one is to give 5% of current assets to fishermen now; The other is to give away 20% of your assets ten years later.
This is a good thing, and the fisherman is naturally happy, but it is also very difficult: choose the first plan, for fear that the assets of the rich will increase sharply in ten years, and then regret it; If you choose the second option, you are worried that the assets of the rich will be seriously shrunk or even bankrupt after ten years. Won't you lose a lot
So much for the story. If you ask the fisherman what choice he made in the end, I will explain later. In fact, choice is everywhere in our life. Open the refrigerator. If there are many kinds of vegetables, what do you choose to do? Open the wardrobe. If there are rows of clothes in it, you should work hard. If you are handsome enough, or beautiful enough, Cupid's arrow will shoot at you frequently, and you will hesitate among several candidates. If the family background is good, it will be in a dilemma between leisure "living on one's laurels" and starting a business to do great things. Why is shopping commonly known as shopping? It's not because there are so many things that you can't make a decision at the first time.
All these, to name a few.
Imagine if there is only one dish left in the refrigerator and only one or two clothes in the closet; If you are "average in hardware" and come from an average family ... why do you have so many choices?
It seems that too many choices are not necessarily a good thing.
Now, I can tell you the fisherman's choice: he was overwhelmed by these two scratching choices, and the next day he went out to sea and was swallowed up by the waves. He finally lost all his options.

The old woman cooked the meal, put the frying spoon on the stove and added seasonings such as salt, onion, spiced powder and lemon. Here comes the elephant. It put one foot into the scalded frying spoon and fried a spoonful of oil. These oils and condiments are used to make a spoonful of delicious soup.
The next day, they continued on their way. At dusk, I came to another old woman's house. She also had only staple food and no food.

"how about it? Dear Mr. Bull? You think you are a cow and a big shot, and everyone has to respect you, but you can despise everyone? In fact, even if you grow taller, I'm not afraid of four more stupid cows like you. Come on, run to your mother and tell her that you were bitten by a mouse. Cry for your mother! If you can cry pitifully, your mother will definitely cry with you. "
The bull had to silently endure the cynicism of the mouse.

Man walks with the lion.
One day, the lion walked with people, and they boasted about themselves. On the way, they saw a stone tablet engraved with a picture of a man conquering several lions. The man pointed to the lion and said, "Look, we are much better than you." The lion smiled and said, "If the lion can carve, then you will see many people fall at their feet."
The story is that people who have no skills like to show off in front of others.
Chu people learn Qi language.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a small country called Song in Henan Province. Dai Wubu, a doctor in the Song Dynasty, was more open-minded and very concerned about state affairs. He really wanted Song Guojun to care more about state affairs, but he didn't know how to persuade Wang Song. Dai Wu knew that Mencius was very knowledgeable, admired Mencius and wanted to ask Mencius for advice. Once Mencius traveled to Song State, Dr. Dai Wudu received Mencius respectfully and asked Mencius, "You are a very learned man. Please tell me, how can we persuade the monarch of a country to devote all his energy to managing the country and do more good for the country? "
Mencius thought for a moment, smiled and said slowly, "How do you say this? For example, there was a doctor in Chu who wanted his son to learn Qi dialect. Do you think it's better to ask Qi people to teach him or Chu people to teach him? " Dai Wudu also smiled and replied: "Of course, please teach him well!" Mencius smiled and went on to say; "Even if you invite a neat person to teach him and patiently teach him to speak neat words, the people around you also feel very strange, but it is rare to be quiet if you disturb him all day. In this case, even if he is whipped and forced to learn Qi dialect, he still can't learn it. If you take him to Qi State and live in the most famous and prosperous streets and lanes in the capital of Qi State, you can live down and learn to speak Qi dialect. A few years later, he learned the Qi dialect and spoke it very well. At that time, it was very difficult for him to speak Chu again. If he is whipped every day, it will be difficult for him to talk. "
After listening to Mencius' words, Dai Wudu finally understood: in the Song Dynasty, there were very few good doctors around the king, and under the deception of too many bad doctors, it is no wonder that the king of Song became heartless!
The moral of this fable is: the influence of objective environment and surrounding atmosphere on people can not be ignored.
Cat and Chicken Africa
Once upon a time, chickens were used to rule cats. They treated cats as servants, forced them to find food, and when they found food, the chickens took four fifths, which made the cats very unhappy. They rose up and resisted more than once, but they were all suppressed by chickens. The chicken frightened the cats and said that they would burn them with the torch on the comb.
Once, the fire in the cat's house went out, and the mother cat sent the youngest cat to the chicken's house to borrow the fire. The kitten came to the henhouse. I saw the rooster drunk and asleep, and there was no one else at home. The kitten tried to wake the rooster, but the rooster didn't wake up. Mix ran home and told her everything. Mother cat asked him to take a small bundle of hay and go to the henhouse again. She said to her son, "You put the hay on the comb and light it, then bring the fire back."
The kitten left with a small bundle of hay. He ran to the rooster's house, and the rooster was still sleeping, so he approached the rooster carefully and put the hay on the burning comb, only to find that the hay was not lit. The kitten ran back again, and this time the mother cat came with him, because she thought her son didn't do what she told him. Mother Mann quietly walked up to the sleeping rooster and carefully stroked the comb with a small bunch of hay. The hay didn't ignite. She blew into the hay, and nothing flew out. So she decided to touch the comb with her hand to see if it was hot. Mother cat held out her hand and was very surprised. It turns out that the comb looks red as fire, but it's actually cold.
So the cats became bold: they woke up the rooster and told him that they couldn't stand his torture anymore and would never wait on him again. The rooster lost his temper and made a scene, trying to scare the cat in his usual way, but it's no use now: the cat already knows that he is bragging. When the chicken sees that it can't scare the cat any more, it's all over, hiding in the crowd to avoid the cat that has become the enemy.

Short fable story 4: democratic evaluation of priests
The annual democratic appraisal of the animal kingdom is about to begin, which is an important assessment activity of the lion king to the minister. As a shepherd minister, wolves are naturally on the list of comments.
On weekdays, wolves are fierce and violent, harassing and killing sheep from time to time. Therefore, sheep are extremely disgusted with wolves and hate not to eat their meat and sleep on their skin.
However, the wolf wants to be commended by the lion king in this democratic appraisal.
So the wolf called together the representatives of the sheep family and said to them, "You and I are an inseparable whole. If you judge me as' incompetent', it means that there is something wrong with our whole group. When the lion king is angry, he will definitely not distribute any relief forage. Think about it, how did you spend this long winter? If I win the first place in the democratic appraisal, I will be the red man trusted by the Lion King. The lion king is happy, there will definitely be more relief forage distribution, and you can spend this winter safely! The right to vote in democratic appraisal is in your hands, and so is the relief feed. You decide your own destiny! "
In fact, at the beginning of this winter, some sheep were already frozen with hunger. If the Lion King really doesn't allocate any relief forage, many sheep will surely die in this cold winter. In view of these circumstances, the representatives of the sheep clan reluctantly voted "excellent" for the wolf.
Wolf, the minister of shepherd, won the first prize again in the democratic appraisal activities and was commended by the Lion King.
Short Fable Story 5 Young People and Butchers
Two young men went to the store to buy meat. When the butcher turned and was busy with his work, one man stole a piece of meat and put it in another man's arms. The butcher turned around, looked around for meat and blamed them. The man who steals meat swears that he didn't take it, and the man with meat in his arms swears that he didn't steal it. The butcher saw through their trick and said, "Even if you lied to me with a false oath, you can't fool the gods."
This story shows that deceptive false vows will always be seen through.
Fable Story 6 A thief rented a room in a hotel and stayed for several days in a row, hoping to steal enough to pay for the room and meals, but he waited for several days in vain and found nothing. On this day, the thief saw the hotel owner sitting at the door wearing beautiful new clothes and went forward to chat with him. After chatting for a while, they all felt tired. The thief yawned and roared like a wolf. The hotel owner said, "Why do you scream so scary?" The thief said, "I'll tell you." But please help me with my clothes first. I want to put them in your hand. Sir, I don't know when I yawned like this, and I don't know if this terrible howl infected me, whether it was a punishment for my sins or other reasons. But one thing I know, if I yawn for the third time, I will turn into a wolf and pounce on people. "After that, he yawned for the second time and howled like a wolf, just like the first time.
After listening to the thief's story, the hotel owner believed it and was very scared. He stood up and prepared to run away. The thief grabbed his coat, told him to stay, and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, grab my coat, or I will tear it into a wolf angrily." As soon as I finished, I yawned for the third time like a wolf howling. Afraid of being hurt by thieves, the hotel owner quickly took off his new clothes and fled into the hotel to hide. The thief ran away from the hotel with his new clothes and never came back.
This means that some people talk nonsense in order to achieve a certain goal. If you believe his story, you will certainly suffer.

Aggressive rubber quickly pulled up a ruler and ran to the crime scene, which was a haunted house without sunshine all day. Legend has it that in this building, there is a pencil box that screams in the middle of the night. The neighbor's watercolor pen saw a pool of bright red blood on the ground, rushed in and never came out. ......
After the story was finished with the eraser, they pulled out the pencil sharpener and rushed into the haunted house. Pencil sharpener picked up a magnifying glass and looked left and right. They didn't find any clues. Just when they lost confidence and wanted to give up, suddenly the pencil sharpener found a small black spot on the wall, and the pencil sharpener was approaching. Suddenly, the little black spot jumped out and was about to stab the pencil sharpener. The clever eraser quickly ran over and blocked a knife, and the shadow took the opportunity to escape.
Through the analysis of pencil sharpener and eraser, it is determined that the prisoner is a pencil, because the size of the black spot on the wall is very similar to that on the tip of the pencil, and the shape of the pencil is particularly like a spear, which is consistent with the scar on the ruler.
On the way back to the base camp, they happened to see the evil pencil kill the compass. "Ha, it's really hard to find a place to get it." Pencil sharpener said.
The pencil seems to have found them and it rushed at them. Because the rubber is shaped like a shield, they played inextricably, regardless of the outcome. The pencil sharpener immediately dialed 1 10 when they were fighting.
The prisoner's pencil was taken away, the pencil sharpener and eraser became veritable detectives, and the mystery of the haunted house was solved. It's killing two birds with one stone.
This story tells us that friendship can overcome all fears.

Short fable 10 cat's gratitude
In the beautiful autumn, leaves fall in succession.
Deep in the forest, there is a log cabin where a white-haired grandfather lives. The cabin is unique, because grandpa runs the only fruit shop in the forest alone. Kindness makes grandpa's business good. All the animals in the forest like to visit his shop, sunbathe and chat with grandpa. They bring grandpa all kinds of interesting things in the forest, and often make him laugh until his beard flies. Life will never be as lonely as autumn leaves.
Of course, occasionally poor kittens and deer come to beg for free food. At this time, grandpa always generously prepares a lot of rich food to entertain them. They never have to worry about being looked down upon and left out here. Gradually, grandpa's hut became a love hut in the forest.
Among these small animals begging for free food, a little white stray cat has been here for a whole year. He and his grandfather live alone and get along like father and daughter. Grandpa takes good care of this little stray cat, teasing it during the day and putting it to sleep at night. Life in this family is sweeter than honey. It was not until the little white cat found her own "black cat prince" that the grandfather reluctantly married it.
As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable. One morning, before dawn, the little creatures in the forest were still immersed in a beautiful dream. Grandpa's cabin suddenly caught fire. The fire spread quickly and turned into a raging fire in the blink of an eye. The beeping sound travels far and far, and the cabin may collapse at any time. But what is even more frightening is that the old man is old, his ears are heavy, and he is still asleep ... Seeing that a tragedy is about to happen, at this critical juncture, the little stray cat comes out of nowhere, and the fire reflects its fat and heavy belly-it is pregnant. Before the little stray cat came to the cabin, he shouted anxiously at the cabin, but grandpa was still unconscious. In the raging fire, the little stray cat got up and jumped into the sea of fire, and came to grandpa's bed, screaming and dragging to wake him up.
A disaster finally passed, and grandpa narrowly escaped. The fire burned the hut clean. However, in the ruins of the plumes of black smoke, the old man looked around and didn't miss any corner, but he couldn't find the kitten. ...
Soon, the old man built a new wooden house next to the old house, and still returned to his old job and opened a fruit shop. Now, while taking care of business, grandpa is always grateful and takes care of the small animals who come to beg for free food. More often, he can't help thinking of that little stray cat. He sometimes fantasizes that in front of the hut, there will be a sudden cry of stray cats begging for free food. How nice it would be!
This afternoon, the sun was lazily shining in the hut, and grandpa was taking a nap in the house. Half asleep, he vaguely heard the kitten's cry, and grandpa thought he was dreaming. Unexpectedly, in front of the hut, the stray cat appeared in grandpa's sight, and behind it, two lovely cat babies were chasing each other. Grandpa suddenly opened his eyes wide and pinched himself hard. Haha, he is not dreaming. His kitten is back.
Now, grandpa and the cat family live happily together. Whenever I look at the mother cat and the baby cat playing freely in the sun, my grandfather tells himself with satisfaction: "This is really a gift from God!" " "

The judge asked, "So many people come to pray, what do you think of their offerings?"
"All received!" The great god instructed.
"Then how do you answer their prayers?" Asked the judge.
"That's easy," said the Great God. "If there is no disaster, don't ignore it; Anyone who ignores disaster, the lame, the blind and the blind will die. "
The judge was puzzled and asked, "In this case, will anyone come to burn incense?"
"Someone will give it," said the Great God. "You should let them know that their happiness is all my favor; Disaster is their destiny, and I have lightened them a lot. "

One day, he saw a swallow fly back earlier this season, thinking that spring had arrived and he no longer needed to wear a coat, so he sold it. Soon a cold north wind blew, making him hide everywhere. He happened to see the swallow freeze to death on the ground, so he said to him, "Hey, friend, you ruined us both."
This story shows that it is very dangerous not to act according to the laws of nature.
In the short fable 14, there is a scholar named Liu Mian. Because he failed several exams, he was most afraid of hearing words like "Luo" and "Luo Di", and even refused to say such homophones. If someone breaks his taboo, he will lose his temper and argue with others. If his servant commits a taboo by mistake, he will whip it with a stick, which makes the servant always cautious and fearful when talking to him, but the more afraid and nervous he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.
This year, Liu Mian went to the provincial capital to take the exam. He is riding a horse, and the servant is carrying luggage and books. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and Liu Mian's hat fell to the ground. The servant rushed to pick it up and shouted, "master, slow down, master, stop quickly, your hat fell to the ground!" " Liu Mian was stunned because "landing" and "landing" are the same. He was so angry that he pointed a whip at the servant and said, "Dog slave, nonsense! Don't say "landing", it's called "landing" (homophonic "harmony")! Do you remember? If you talk nonsense again, I won't hit you! " Servant only Nuo Nuo, scared; As he put on his hat, he said, "Master, if you put on your hat this time, you will never touch the ground again!" "
The scholar was even more angry. He beat the servant with a whip, and the servant was beaten in a daze. I don't know what he is afraid of, but he has to swallow his pride and admit that he is unlucky.
The scholar came to the provincial capital to take the exam. After a while, the exam was announced. He quickly sent his servant to check the list. The servant came to the place where the list was published and read the names on the list three times from beginning to end, but the word "Liu Mian" was not found. The servant knows that the scholar has "fallen" again this time, but how can he tell his master when he goes back? Because the owner hates the word "fall". The servant thought about it, and suddenly remembered the way that the scholar used other words instead of the word "Luo" on weekdays. For example, this scholar often calls "happiness" (the sound of "music" is the same as "Luo") "Ankang" and replaces "music" with "Kang", so the servant finally found a more suitable word.
Fable story 15 It's sunny and warm outside, and the air is filled with flowers, which makes people feel pale. A group of children came to play table tennis under the big tree. At this moment, an old monkey is in the tree. Seeing that the children were having a good time, he was envious and kept rubbing his hands there. It's really eager to try.
Suddenly the children playing table tennis quarreled. It turned out that table tennis fell to the ground, and the boys hurried to pick it up. They were accidentally stepped on by a boy, which made the game so difficult that everyone complained about the boy who stepped on the ball.
Then a boy suddenly said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, I have an idea." Everyone looked at him doubtfully, only to hear him continue to say, "Go and get a pot of boiling water and a basin."
Soon everything was ready, only to see the boy pour boiling water into the basin, and then put the table tennis into the boiling water. Soon, table tennis recovered and became as round as before. The children cheered and started playing again.
The boy's movements were clearly seen by the old monkey in the tree. The old monkey thought: I learned the skills today, so I will remember them. Maybe they will come in handy in the future.
On this day, the monkeys held a celebration meeting and it was very lively to get together. You see them jumping from tree to tree, their tails hanging upside down around the branches, chasing each other and showing their skills to the fullest.
Suddenly, when a little monkey jumped from branch to branch, he lost his grip and fell from the air. Fortunately, he was blocked by other branches, but there was a big bruise on one arm and blood gurgled out.
The other monkeys were at a loss when they saw it. At this time, they only listened to the old monkey to comfort everyone: "Don't worry, don't worry. I have an idea. " So everyone turned to the old monkey and listened to him. "Go and get a pot of boiling water and a washbasin," said the old monkey. In a short time, boiling water and pots are ready.
At this time, everyone saw the old monkey pour boiling water into the basin, and then raised the little monkey's bleeding arm and pressed it into the basin. Only the little monkey howled like a pig. But the old monkey said, "Hold on, son, it will be all right in a minute."
Put the monkey's arm in boiling water. A few minutes later, the old monkey thought he was ready before he took the little monkey's arm out of the boiling water, but he was dumbfounded: the little monkey's arm began to lose hair piece by piece, and the whole arm was cooked like a piece of braised pork, and the little monkey fainted.
Looking at the little monkey in a coma, the old monkey hugged him and cried, "Why does table tennis swell up and become round in boiling water for a while?" But boiling water cost my child an arm!
