Fable story 1 parrot fighting fire

A parrot left home to see the wider world outside. After flying for a few days, it came to a mountain forest tired and hungry, and planned to settle down here for the time being. When a little squirrel saw this parrot from a foreign land, he immediately skipped all over the mountains and told the news to all the animals: "Go and have a look, there are guests!" " "The animals held a grand welcoming ceremony for the parrot. The birds sang beautiful songs, the deer danced, and the little monkeys picked many delicious berries for the parrot to make it full. The parrot was moved by all this.

In the next few months, all the birds and animals were very kind to the parrot. The parrot did its best for everyone and everyone liked it very much.

Although they live happily, over time, parrots can't help thinking of their hometown. So it said goodbye to everyone: "thank you very much for taking care of me for so many days, but I have to go home." I hope you take care of yourself. " The animals reluctantly sent the parrot again and again, but they still had to part with each other twice.

A few days later, something unfortunate happened. A fire broke out in this mountain forest. The fire is terrible, the flames are rolling, reflecting half the sky and being visible hundreds of miles away. Animals in the mountains have nowhere to escape, and there are countless casualties. The situation is very bad.

The parrot saw the fire here from a distance and secretly called out "No". He worked hard day and night to reach the edge of the burning forest. It flew to the nearby river again and again, wetted its feathers in the water, and then sprinkled the water on the mountain. I don't know how many times I flew back and forth like this. The parrot was so tired that it was almost swallowed up by the heat wave several times, and its feathers were burnt, but the fire did not weaken at all, but it grew stronger and stronger. Without fear, the parrot continued to sprinkle water.

The god in the sky saw it and said to the parrot, "You are overreaching. The water you sprinkled with your feathers can't put out the mountain fire. Why are you so troublesome? Maybe you will put your life in! " The parrot replied, "I know it may not help, but I used to stay there. All the animals there were very kind and kind to me." Anyway, I must do my best for them and never watch them burn alive! "

God was so moved that he immediately put out the forest fire, and the friends of the parrot were finally saved.

This behavior of parrots is really worth learning. Attaching importance to feelings, keeping promises and repaying kindness are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. When friends and relatives encounter danger or difficulties, we should spare no effort to lend a helping hand.

Fable story 2 Under a bridge, a fish and a turtle stared at the bait hanging on the water. The fish said, "I can eat the bait in my stomach. It's safe!" " "

The tortoise didn't believe it. The fish bit the bait and struggled until the line was straightened.

Then the fish swam back towards the pier, swam around the stake on the pier several times, and suddenly pulled hard and the fishing line broke!

After a while, the fish did this performance again and ate the bait safely.

The tortoise said enviously, "You are so powerful that you can see through people's tricks!" " "

The fish said disdainfully, "What's the matter? Humans have dealt with us in the same way for thousands of years, but we don't know that we will also learn lessons! " "

Moral:

Don't always look at people or things with old eyes. We need to learn from many experiences and improve them. Some methods are out of date, so we should consider them from a new angle. We should consider the flexibility and variability of people and things in order to adapt to the development of society!

Fable story 3 tantrums and nails

There was a boy with a bad temper, and his father gave him a bag of nails. And told him that whenever he lost his temper, he would nail a nail in the fence in the backyard. On the first day, the boy nailed 37 nails. Slowly, the number of nails decreased day by day, and he found that it was better to control his temper than to nail.

It's easy to hammer those nails. So, one day, the boy will never lose patience and lose his temper again.

He told it to his father. Father added that from now on, as long as he can control his temper, he will pull out a nail.

As the days passed, the boy finally told his father that he had finally pulled out all the nails. Father took him by the hand and went to the backyard and said, "You have done well, my good boy, but look at those holes in the fence." These fences will never be restored. What you say when you are angry will leave scars like these nails. If you stab someone with a knife, no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wound will last forever. The pain of words is as unbearable as the real pain.

Fable story 4 cock and swan goose

There was a man named Tian Rao who worked beside Lu Aigong for several years, but Lu Aigong didn't understand Tian Rao's great ambition and stayed with Tian Raoping. Tian Rao's intelligence was not put to good use, so he decided to leave Lu Aigong for other countries.

Tian Rao said to Lu Aigong, "I want to leave you and fly away like a swan."

Lu Aigong didn't understand what Tian Rao meant and asked, "Aren't you fine here? Why do you want to go? "

Tian Rao said, "Your Majesty, do you often see that rooster? You see it has a red comb on its head, which is very elegant; It has sharp claws on its feet and is very brave; It is fearless and fearless when facing the enemy; When it sees food, it always clucks and greets its companions to enjoy it together, which is especially kind; It is also loyal to its duties and never delays getting up early to tell the time. It is extremely trustworthy. Although the rooster has so many advantages, the king casually ordered it to be cooked and eaten. What is the reason? Because the rooster is always by your side, you are used to it every day, and its brilliance is eclipsed in the king's eyes. The king does not feel its outstanding advantages and talents. And that swan goose, flying from thousands of miles away, landed at the edge of Wangchi, pecking at the fish and turtles in Wangchi; Fall into the king's garden and destroy the king's crops. Although Hongyan does not have the advantage of rooster, the king still values Hongyan very much. Why is this? Because the swan goose comes from a distant place, the king has a magical feeling about it, and all its actions are considered very great by the king. So please let me fly away like a swan. "

Lu Aigong said, "Please don't go. I want to write down what you said. "

Tian Rao said, "You think I'm plain, but you think it's no use keeping me. Even if you write down my words, it won't help. " So Tian Rao left Lu for Yan.

The prince made Tian Rao the prime minister, and Tian had a great opportunity to display his talent of governing the country and keeping the country safe. Three years later, Tian Rao managed Yan in an orderly way, and the country was rich and stable, with safe borders and no thieves. Tian Rao became famous, and the prince was very proud.

After Lu Aigong knew about these situations, he felt deeply. He really regretted not being able to leave Tian Rao. To this end, he lived alone for three months and deeply reflected; And lower their food and clothing standards as a sign of repentance. Lu Aigong sighed from the heart: "In the past, Tian Rao left me because he couldn't be a good person, which caused today's regret. I really hope that Tian Rao can come back to me again, but I know it is already difficult. "

In fact, there are many such things in life. People often turn a blind eye to the outstanding talents around them, just aim too high and envy the imported talents, thinking that they have real talent and practical learning. Leaders, in particular, should be good at discovering the talents around them, know people well and be good at their duties, and don't let go of the talents they have already got.

Fable story 5: a reformed wolf.

The forest kingdom suddenly broke out: the wolf is determined to turn over a new leaf! Be a wolf again!

Maybe you will wonder if the wolf took the wrong medicine, or if he ate too many funny sweets. Even if his mind turns 360 degrees twice, he won't think of turning over a new leaf!

It turned out that the wolf couldn't stand his wife's nagging at home a few days ago and simply moved to the forest church to rest. After reading a series of words in the Bible (Animal Edition), such as "All animals in the world are equal, and animals should love each other …", the wolf felt guilty and had a bad reputation in the forest kingdom, so he had the idea of turning over a new leaf.

From the day of the oath, wolves stopped eating rabbits and other small animals, ate grass at home and tried to exercise themselves to become herbivores. Maybe God really felt the sincerity of the wolf. After eating grass for two months, the wolf really became a herbivore.

And our Mr. Wolf and Mr. Rabbit went out for food together and found a particularly good grassland in the forest. As soon as they saw it, they couldn't wait to chew it. Soon, the wolf ate his own piece and coveted the rabbit's piece. He was embarrassed to ask the rabbit, so the rabbit gave him a small piece. The wolf finished eating again. But the delicious grass made the wolf go to the rabbit to eat again. Of course, the rabbit is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it quarreled with the wolf. But the wolf's eloquence is not as good as the rabbit's, but the rabbit's words are one after another, and the wolf can't get in a word. Finally, the wolf couldn't bear it and swallowed the rabbit in one gulp.

From then on, wolves began to eat rabbits again, because rabbits once competed with them for fresh grass to eat. ...

Fable story 6 A turkey and a bull are chatting, a fable about the philosophy of life. "I really want to go to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I have no strength." "Then why don't you eat some of my feces?" The bull replied, "It is rich in nutrition." The turkey ate a piece of cow dung and found that it really made itself strong enough to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating more cow dung, the turkey reached the second branch of the tree. Finally, two weeks later, the turkey stood proudly at the top of the tree. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before a farmer stared at him, and the farmer shot down the turkey very neatly.

The moral of this story is ... Cow dung may get you to the top, but it can't keep you there forever.

The wife quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel and rushed to the door.

When she opened the door, her neighbor Bob stood there.

Before she could speak, Bob said, "If you take off your bath towel, I will give you 800 dollars."

After thinking for a while, the woman took off her bath towel and stood naked in front of Bob. A few seconds later, Bob handed her $800 and left.

The woman wrapped the bath towel again and went back to the house.

When she went into the bathroom, her husband asked her, "Who is it?" "It's neighbor Bob." She answered.

"Oh," said the husband, "did he mention that he still owes me $800?"

Moral of the story: sharing important information with shareholders in the same boat in time will avoid unnecessary exposure.

Fable story 8 A crow sat in a tree and did nothing all day. A little rabbit saw the crow and asked, "Can I sit there doing nothing all day like you?" The crow replied, "Of course, why not?" So the rabbit sat under the tree and began to rest. Suddenly, a fox appeared. The fox jumped on the rabbit … and ate it.

To annotate ...

The moral of this story is ... if you want to sit there and do nothing, you must sit very, very high.

Fable story 9 Once a small country came to China to pay tribute to three identical gold people. The golden wall was brilliant and the emperor was very happy. However, this small country is not kind, and at the same time a question arises: who is the most valuable of these three gold people?

The emperor thought of many ways to ask the jeweler to check, weigh and watch the work, all of which were exactly the same. What shall we do? The messenger is still waiting for a return. A vast country, you don't even understand this little thing? Finally, an old minister who abdicated said that he had an idea.

The emperor invited the emissary to the main hall, and the old minister confidently took three straws and inserted them into the ear of the first gold man. The straw came out of the other ear. The straw of the second gold man fell out directly from his mouth, and the straw of the third gold man fell into his stomach without a sound. The old minister said: the third gold man is the most valuable! The messenger was silent and the answer was correct.

This story tells us that the most valuable person is not necessarily the most talkative person. God gave us two ears and one mouth, which was supposed to make us listen more and talk less. Being good at listening is the most basic quality of a mature person.

Once, an old robber took his apprentice to rob a bank and was chased by the police. The two men ran away like crazy and almost ran away with their pants. I finally got rid of the police, who were out of breath and collapsed on the ground.

After a long time, when the shock subsided, the disciple said, "Master, Master, if only there were no police in this world!" Master scolded 1, "bullshit! If there were no police, would we still have food? ! "The apprentice is very confused. Master said earnestly, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other! Think about it, if there were no police, would everyone dare to steal and rob? It is precisely because of these policemen that we have blocked those capable people and have a living space! What are we compared with them? What skills do you have? Don't we make a living by motivating thieves to do things they dare not do? Police! We're here! Without the police, where can I live a good life! " .

To annotate ...

You see how wonderful successful people are, but you only see one side, but you don't see the other. You "only saw the thief eating meat, but didn't see the thief being beaten", and you didn't see the sweat, tears and even blood they shed for success! Even if you see a thief being beaten, you are only willing to be a thief who only eats meat without being beaten. There is nothing so cheap in the world! We can learn from the experience of the old robber above. As long as you have a little courage and self-confidence, it is enough to break through the physical and psychological barriers.

Fable story 10 The little snake tiger is a restless little smart card. He always slips out when his master is not at home. Look here and there.

However, instead of wandering around, he patrolled around to see who needed help.

Seeing the dust flying on the road, the small watering can quickly spray water to suppress the arrogant dust, and the air immediately becomes clean and moist; Seeing the dry and water-deficient flowers, the small watering can't wait to spray water drops on the flowers, and the flowers immediately spread out and smiled; Seeing the dry seedlings in the field, the small watering can quickly watered the seedlings, and the seedlings immediately stood up.

On this day, the little snake tiger saw a new cactus in the master's yard.

But later he found that the owner always watered other potted plants instead of this cactus, which puzzled the little sprinkling pot.

Looking at the gradually cracked soil in the cactus flowerpot, the enthusiastic little sprinkling pot was in a hurry, but this is the potted flower of the host family, so you can't water it casually without the owner's consent.

Finally, one day, the little watering can't stand it at first glance, so it secretly sprayed a lot of water on the cactus and listened to the sound of cactus drinking water happily. Small watering can is very happy.

But the next morning, the little snake tiger was surprised to find that the cactus watered yesterday died ... this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Xiao Shehu was puzzled and decided to ask the master clearly, thinking: No matter how the master punished me, I will find out the reason!

Sure enough, the host roared: "you little watering can, cactus likes drought, so you can't water it more." Look at you. You drowned a good cactus, which makes me so angry! " Don't water my flowers without my consent! "

The watering can lowered its head and mumbled a response: "Ah, uh-huh, oh, I know the master. I'm really sorry this time. I won't dare to do it again."

The moral of this story:

Enthusiastic watering can sprinkles water everywhere for the benefit of other creatures. Seeing that the cactus of the host family never drinks water, I thought to myself, how can the host be so cruel? I drank a lot of water for the cactus, but I didn't expect the cactus to die and was scolded by the owner. Not knowing the habits of cactus, Little Snake Tiger made a mistake and felt guilty. Even though his master was angry, he accepted his criticism modestly. When a child makes a mistake, he must have the courage to bear it and never make it again.

Fable story 1 1 donkey and frog

The donkey carried the wood across the pond, slipped and fell into the water, and burst into tears. The frog in the pond heard his cry and said, "hey, friend, you were so sad when you fell;" What should I do if I live here as long as we do? "

Fable story 12 The old lion was seriously ill in the cave. All the animals except the fox went to meet the king. The wolf took the opportunity to frame the fox in front of the lion, saying that the fox was courageous, despised the king and dared not meet him. Just then, the fox came in and heard the wolf's last words. The lion roared at the sight of the fox, and the fox immediately asked him to explain a few words. He said, "Of all the animals that greet the king, who is as loyal as I am, running around for you, visiting famous doctors and looking for a wonderful prescription?" The lion immediately ordered him to tell the prescription. The fox said, "Peel the wolf alive and wrap it around him while it is hot." The wolf immediately turned into a corpse and lay there. The fox smiled proudly and said, "You shouldn't encourage your master to have evil thoughts, but you should induce him to be kind."

This story shows that people who often calculate others will often reap the consequences.

Fable story 13 On a hot summer day, the dog who went out with his master ran for a day. At night, he lay groggy on the wet grass by the pond and fell asleep. The puppy slept soundly, and the frogs by the pond barked in unison as usual. The puppy was awakened by their barking and was very angry. He thought that if he jumped into the pond at once and screamed a few times to scare them, he would definitely make them stop making noise and then sleep comfortably. He shouted several times in a row, but to no avail, he had to go back to the pond and say angrily, "I'm so stupid." How can these naturally noisy things become gentle and considerate? "

The story is that those arrogant people are always arrogant and do whatever they want, regardless of others.

Fable story 14 There lived a group of fish and shrimp in the river, and everyone got along well.

Unexpectedly, on an autumn morning, a proud crab, wearing armor and holding a weapon, rushed over on the rampage. It seems that he is really proud. It bullies small animals all day because it has a pair of big pliers that walk sideways. It looks really overbearing!

Once, a river shrimp passed by, and it raised the poker to threaten, and a pair of small feet of the river shrimp were immediately broken by it.

Fortunately, shrimp's feet can be reborn, otherwise they will be disabled.

Another time, there was a clam [bang] at the bottom of the river. It was walking carefully step by step, and the crab successfully knocked it down. Fortunately, mussels have two hard shells and are not injured.

Another time, the crab saw an old snail in the cave. He can't clamp it if he wants to, and he can blow bubbles one after another if he wants to fight, cursing for a while. The old snail is very clever. He closed the shell and ignored it.

When the crab saw that all the animals in the water were afraid of it, it became more and more proud and wanted to be brave on land. I don't know. It just climbed out of the water. When it first set foot on land, it was caught by the fisherman and locked in a bamboo basket.

When the crab enters the bamboo basket, first try to clamp the bamboo basket with the method of dealing with river shrimp. But the bamboo basket is very strong, and there is no damage after being clamped for a long time.

It used the method of dealing with mussels to slam the bamboo basket with all its strength. As a result, his toe was injured and the bamboo basket was not damaged at all.

Later, the crab exhausted its strength, wearily put away its eight long feet and curled up under the bamboo basket.

His eyes rolled as if he were thinking of some vicious trick.

Soon, the fisherman took the crab home, opened the bamboo basket, grabbed the crab and said with a smile, "Ah! It's a female. "

Hearing this, the crab felt "stupid" and immediately blew big bubbles to deal with fishermen by dealing with snails.

But the fisherman did not pay attention to the crab's every move. He put the crab in the pot. When the crab reached the pot, it thought it was back in the river and could run away again.

I didn't know the water was getting hot. In less than five or six minutes, the proud crab could no longer move.

Fable story 15 A king heard that a painter was good at watercolor painting, and one day the king made a special trip to visit the painter.

"Please draw me a peacock." The king demanded.

A year later, the king visited the painter again.

"Where is the watercolor painting I ordered? I once asked you to draw me a peacock. "

"Your peacock is almost finished." The painter said.

The painter took out the drawing paper and soon drew a very beautiful and bright peacock. The king felt very satisfied, but the price surprised him: "It seems that it was drawn effortlessly and easily in a short time, and it is so expensive?" Asked the king.

So the painter led the king around the painter's house, and there was a pile of drawing paper with peacocks in each room. The painter said, "The price is very reasonable. You seem effortless and simple, but it took me a lot of time and energy. I spent a whole year preparing to draw this peacock for you in this short time! "
