The Fable of La Fontaine

Fable of La Fontaine, Part 1

A thin and bony wolf had not found a bite to eat for a long time, because the dog had always been a nuisance to him.

On this day, he met a tall and powerful dog who happened to be lost, and the wolf wanted to pounce on him and tear him to pieces, but he thought he was no match for him. So the wolf was full of smiles, and asked the dog to teach the way of life, the words are full of compliments, such as the brother well-maintained look young, really enviable clouds.

The dog said: "Master lead close to the door, the practice depends on the individual, you want to live my life, you have to leave the forest. You look at your companions, are like you dirty starving ghosts, life is not a little security, in order to eat a mouthful of all to fight with others. Learn from me, and you will not worry about food and drink."

"And what can I do?" Wolf asked, blinking doubtfully.

"You don't have to do anything, just wag your tail, please your master, and chase and bite the beggars and beggars far away from you, and you'll be able to enjoy delicious scraps of food and be able to get a lot of extra rewards from your master."

The wolf was so engrossed in this happy experience that it did not realize that its eyes were a little moist, so it followed the dog on the road with great gusto. On the way, it noticed that there was a circle of skin on the dog's neck with no hair on it, so it asked in wonder,

"How did you get this?"

"Nothing!"

"Really nothing?"

The dog prevaricates, "Nothing much."

The wolf stops in his tracks, "What's going on? You tell me."

"It's likely that the leather collar I'm tethered to has rubbed the fur off my neck."

"What! Is it possible that you are living chained to your master and have no more freedom at all?" The wolf asked in surprise.

"What does it matter if you are tethered or not, as long as you live well?"

"It doesn't matter? It's better to be unfree than dead. Eating your kind of meal, give me a gold mine I will not do."

With these words, the hungry wolf turned his head and ran away.

La Fontaine's Fable Part 2

A long time ago, a tall, majestic oak tree vaguely perceived that it was no longer majestic, and that this tendency to weaken was gradually strengthening. Whenever a strong wind came, the once proud, awe-inspiring king of the tree, although the best efforts to control their own branches, but the branches are still not fighting to sway, a burst of the oak tree feel ashamed of the creaking and crunching sound. The oak tree decided, can not let this bad situation continue, must take action to change the status quo, revitalization of the past.

In the oak tree's tireless efforts, the situation has changed significantly. Many healthy branches have grown out, dense green leaves covering the tree, a round hat wearing a green and lovely acorns hanging branches. Until then, the oak tree felt that they have recovered enough strong, as in the past, indestructible. Fierce and strong winds came again. To make the oak tree feel fear, shame and incomprehension is: new branches in the strong wind shivering, acorns and acorn leaves have fallen, a few old trunk was actually broken by the wind. Especially terrible is that the oak tree felt his roots were mercilessly torn, if not in the friendly neighboring Sikkimo tree's strong support, the oak tree feels very likely to fall down.

After the wind calmed down, the oak for the first time began to scrutinize the long neglected and belittled neighbor, recalling that just now in the strong winds it was so firm and strong, the oak asked the sikmo tree puzzled: "In such a strong ` gust of wind attack, how can you stand so steadily, and even have enough strength to help me?" The Sikmo tree replied, "Actually, while you were busy spawning new branches, I was strengthening my roots the whole time!"

La Fontaine's Fables Part 4

The antelope, the mouse, the crow, and the tortoise lived together in a small, close-knit community. They chose an extremely secluded place unknown to outsiders as their habitat. But how can this be? People will eventually discover their hideaway. Because whether in the desert, high in the sky or deep in the lake and the sea, always get rid of all kinds of pursuit and search of human beings.

The gazelle is simple-minded, and when it encounters a hunting dog while wandering alone, the gazelle begins to run for its life, with the dog on its trail.

When it was time to eat, and the antelope was not yet home, the mouse said to the other two, "What's the matter, we are the only three dining together today, has the antelope forgotten us three brothers?"

Hearing this, the tortoise immediately stretched his neck and cried out, "Alas, if I had wings like the crow, I would have moved at once, to see what had happened in the end, or who had kept our swift-footed companion. It is not there, and we keep it in our hearts at all times."

Yuri Crow put down his cutlery and spread his wings, and from the air he saw at a distance that the reckless antelope had fallen into a trap and was struggling hard. Raven immediately returned to the mouse and tortoise reported to the police, because the two only consultant antelope when and why in distress, tortoise and like a pedantic old pedant to make all kinds of judgments. As a result, the group of empty words, consumed a lot of valuable time. The three friends finally made a unanimous decision: the time is urgent and can not be delayed, immediately go to the antelope accident location.

"The tortoise," said the crow, "is too slow to arrive, perhaps after the antelope is dead! It would be better for him to stay at home." So saying, they both set out at once to save the poor antelope, their dear and faithful companion. The tortoise wanted very much to go to the place of the accident as quickly as the other two, but unfortunately he had short legs and was carrying a heavy burden.

When the mouse chewed through the knot in the trap, everyone was overjoyed. Just then, the hunter arrived, and he asked sternly, "Who let my prey escape?" The mice immediately hid in their holes at the sound of the voice, while the crows flew to the trees and the antelope disappeared early into the thicket. The hunter was so angry that he was almost mad because he could not find the missing trail. Following the trail, he found the tortoise and his anger was half gone. He said to himself, "I have not traveled in vain, and this tortoise is right for dinner."

The hunter put the tortoise into a bag, if not for the crows informed the antelope in time, the tortoise will become the "scapegoat". The antelope deliberately came out of hiding, pretending to limp in front of the hunter, luring the hunter to track it. The hunter threw his heavy pocket to the roadside to chase the antelope. At this time, the mouse took advantage of the opportunity to fasten the knot of the pocket to bite off, and so on, the mouse again saved the hunter intended for dinner turtle.

La Fontaine's fable refers to human society through the animal world, boldly attacked the French social aristocracy ferocious and tyrannical, mercilessly satirized the social residual of all kinds of vices, and enthusiastically praised the laboring people dare to struggle, love of labor, solidarity and mutual help of the excellent quality.

La Fontaine's Fable Part 5

Once, the God of War stirred up the whole sky, and a group of birds had a dispute over a small problem. The birds in question were not the birds that fly into people's gardens at the coming of spring, nor the pigeons that drive for the Mother of Love, but a flock of eagles, with hooked beaks and sharp talons, who fought over a dead dog. It's no exaggeration to say that the sky was full of blood, and to describe the details would be breathless with tension. Many leaders were killed, many heroes were killed, and Prometheus, imprisoned on Mount Caucasus, seemed to see the end of his torment. It was good to see the eagles fighting bravely, but it was sad to see them fall from the sky after being killed. Bravery and resourcefulness, cunning and surprise, all were used to great effect. In the frenzy of war, the two flocks of eagles are at each other's throats and will stop at nothing. The skies are filled with an eerie atmosphere, the battlefields are strewn with corpses, and for a time, the underworld is overcrowded with dead bodies. This horror aroused the pity of another bird, the dove, which is gentle and honest, and the feathers on its neck often change color. The doves tried to use their neutrality to mediate in the war, sending messengers and trying to intercede, and the hawks eventually stopped fighting, and a truce was made to welcome peace. But sadly, the pigeons, instead of being thanked by the hawks, became the victims of both sides. The damned things followed up with an undeclared war against all the pigeons, and the fields, villages, and towns were almost wiped out. How ill-advised of these poor pigeons to go and mediate a dispute so barbarous.

Keep in mind that the wicked must always be divided against the wicked, so that the safety of the rest of the world may be assured; and that the wicked must be made to create strife among themselves, or else with them you can never hope to find peace. Of course this is but a casual remark, and should really be kept silent.

La Fontaine's Fables Part 6

A cat and a tiny sparrow were born on the same day, and from their infancy they were neighbors. The bird's cage and the cat's house were in the same room, and the birds often made the cat angry, one pecking with its beak, the other scratching with its claws. But the cat is usually a little more humble to its bird friends, often punishing them a little and then stopping. It is very careful and tries not to show its sharp claws. The sparrow, on the other hand, is very unintelligent and often uses its beak to return the cat's favor. The cat is a wise and careful gentleman, forgave these pranks, between friends, it thought never should be for joking and really ah. Since the two of them grew up together, they had a long and uneventful life, and that kind of fighting never turned into a real fight.

Nearby, a sparrow came to visit the lively sparrow, Biolo, and the steady cat, Hatong. After they romp and play together, the two sparrows get into a fight. The cat, of course, took sides with Biallo, and said: "This strange fellow has actually bullied us, and he has taunted my friend and quarreled with Biallo. I shall punish it severely on my cat's honor!" So it went into battle and devoured the sparrow that had strung it along.

"Truly," said the cat, smacking its lips and savoring it, "this sparrow does not taste so bad!"

He then ate his old friend Bielo, who had been with him all his life.

La Fontaine's Fable, Part 7

The point of this story is that the accusations of the foolish man were in vain.

A child was playing by the Seine and fell into the water. By God's grace, a large willow tree grew near the water's edge, and its branches reached down to the surface and saved the child.

Just as the child was hanging on to the branch of the willow, a schoolteacher happened to pass by.

The child called out to him, "Help! The child called out to him, "Help me, I'm drowning!

Hearing the shouts, the nerd turned around, without looking at the occasion immediately rebuked in a stern voice: Ah! Naughty boy, look at it, you see what you do silly things to make yourself into what kind of naughty boy you really have to pay attention! Your parents are so unlucky to have to break their hearts for such little x-eggs! I really sympathize with their fate!

Only after he had ranted and raved did he pull the child ashore.

This gentleman is not the only one I have to blame here. Those who are nagging, accusatory and pedantic can probably see themselves in the above story. There are many of them, because God keeps giving them the opportunity to have children and grandchildren.

Ah! My friend, please save me from the danger first, and then you can talk about it again.

La Fontaine's Fable, Part 8

There was a rich farmer who, on his deathbed, put aside the others and summoned his children to him, saying, "You must not sell the family property or the land, which has been left by our ancestors, and there is a treasure buried in the ground, the exact position of which I do not know; you need only to be diligent in digging it up, and you will surely be successful. After the fall harvest you will go to turn the ground, digging, hoeing and use, every place do not fall."

The cropper died when he finished speaking, and his children turned the ground over according to what their father said before he died, but a year passed, and no treasure was found, but the harvest was much better than in previous years. At this point, they finally realized the truth of the father's dying hints - only labor can create wealth.

The above story is from La Fontaine's Fables. La Fontaine was a famous French fable writer in the 17th century who loved potatoes. Once, he took a freshly baked potato, and because it was too hot, he put it on the fireplace, wanting to cool it before eating it.

Just then, someone was looking for La Fontaine, and he left the room. But when he came back, the potatoes were gone. It turned out that one of the servants saw the fragrant baked potato and ate it. The servant was afraid that La Fontaine would be angry, so when La Fontaine asked everyone who had eaten the baked potato, he too immediately said, "Oh, I haven't seen a potato."

In fact, even if anyone had eaten the potato, La Fontaine would not have been angry. Now that he saw that the group was not admitting it, but instead was curious to know the truth of the matter, La Fontaine thought of a solution.

He said aloud in the parlor, "Oh, none of you all ate the potatoes on the mantel, did you? That's a relief."

The man who had stolen the potatoes couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is this a relief to you, master?" La Fontaine deliberately said, "That's what I used to poison the rats ah, it's got highly poisonous rat poison ...... in it."

"Ah-! " the servant cried out in alarm, "I must have been poisoned, master, I was the one who ate that potato, save me." La Fontaine laughed, he patted the servant on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you're not poisoned, there's no poison in the potato, I'm only saying this to get to the bottom of things."

The servant was relieved, but he saw that his master was so clever that he would never dare to lie again.

La Fontaine's Fable, Part 9

Two bulls fought over a cow and her territory. A frog sighed at the sight. His compatriot asked, "What has this got to do with you? What is the need to be so sad?

The frog replied: "Alas! How can you not even understand this point of reasoning, the result of the fight is nothing more than the loser is ousted. The exiled bull will be forced to leave the pasture-rich fields, while in the wilderness he will not be able to eat a mouthful of grass. He will surely come to our reed-laden marshes and trample us under foot and into the water. The fight over the cow ended up with all of us as a large group turning to mush.

This fear was not unfounded. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the defeated bull came to roost in the swamp, and the frogs were badly hurt, with 20 frogs tragically killed in just one hour.

It's just sad how often we get to see stupid moves by big people that lead directly to disaster for innocent old people.
