Modern literary allusions and the reasons for Waiting for a Rabbit.

There was a farmer in Song State. He planted several acres of land and there was a big tree on his land. One day, while he was working in the field, he suddenly saw a rabbit flying like an arrow, slamming into that big tree, breaking his neck at once, kicking and dying.

The farmer ran fast and picked up the rabbit. He said happily, "It's a waste of effort. I got a big bargain for nothing. You can have a good meal when you go back. " When he came home with the rabbit, he thought proudly, "I am so lucky." Maybe a rabbit will come tomorrow. I can't let go of such a bargain. " ?

The next day, instead of working in the fields, he just watched the tree and waited for the rabbit to hit him. As a result, I waited for a day and found nothing. He was unwilling, so he sat under that big tree every day and waited for the rabbit to kill him. He waited and waited until the weeds in the field grew taller than the crops, and there was not even a rabbit.
