What are the fables?

1, the fable of "Encouraging Seedlings":

In the Song Dynasty, there was a man who was very eager for the seedlings to grow tall, so he went to the fields and pulled them up one by one. He was very tired, but he was still satisfied at the end of the day. He came home and said to his family, "I'm exhausted." I helped the seedlings grow taller! " When his son heard about it, he hurried to the field to see the seedlings, but they all withered.

Few people in the world don't want their seedlings to grow faster! People who give up thinking that seedlings are useless are like lazy people who don't mow the grass. People who help it grow at their own expense, like this one, are not good, but harmful.

2. The fable "Waiting for the Rabbit":

There was a farmer in Song State, and there was a stump in his field. One day, a rabbit running fast ran into a stump, broke its neck and died. So the farmer put down his farm tools and stood by the stump day and night, hoping to get another rabbit.

However, the hare could not get it again, and he himself was laughed at by the Song people. It is wrong to try to govern the people with the past strategy of governing the country, which is the same as waiting for him.

3. The fable of "Zheng Ren buys shoes":

Once upon a time, there was a Zheng man who wanted to buy a new pair of shoes. He measured his feet in advance and put the measured size on the seat. When I arrived at the market, I forgot to bring my size. I picked out my shoes and found, "I forgot my size."

Just go home and get the measurements. By the time he returned to the market, the market had already dispersed and he didn't buy the last pair of shoes! Someone asked, "Why don't you try on your shoes with your own feet?" He replied, "I would rather trust the measured size than my own feet."
