The wisdom of the tortoise

A fisherman caught a turtle, so the turtle had a dream to Song Yuanjun, the king of Song State.

That night, in his sleep, Song saw a man with long hair peeking at a side door and poked around and said to Song, "I live in a deep pool called Zhalu. I went to Hebo on behalf of Qingjiang Water God, and was caught by a fisherman named Yu Qi on the way. "

Song woke up in the morning and thought of this dream at night. He felt strange, so he invited someone to divine the dream. The fortune teller said, "This is a dream entrusted by a turtle to the king." Song Yuanjun asked the people around him, "Is there a fisherman named Yu Qi?" The left and right replied, "There is a fisherman named Yu Qi." Therefore, Song ordered his men to deliver the message and come to appear before the court.

The next day, I came to Song. Yuan Jun asked him, "What did you catch by fishing?" I replied, "I caught a big white turtle with a fishing net." The turtle's back is five feet long. " Song was ordered to offer a white turtle. I hurried home and presented the white turtle I caught to Song Yuan Jun.

After Song got the turtle, he wanted to kill it several times and raise it several times, but he always hesitated. Finally, he had to ask the fortune teller to make a decision. The result of divination is: "It is auspicious to kill this turtle and use it for divination." So, Song ordered people to kill the white turtle, cut open its intestines and use its shell for divination. It was always predicted 72 times, and it succeeded every time.

Later, Confucius said with deep feelings: "This turtle has the ability to give Song Yuanjun his dream, but it has no ability to escape the snare of Yu Yu. Its wisdom can reach 72 divinations without a failure, but it can't avoid the disaster of being cut open. In this way, wisdom has its limitations, and wisdom can't take care of things. "

This story tells us that a person's intelligence, no matter how high, can't compare with everyone's wisdom. Therefore, only with one heart and one mind can we do things more comprehensively.

Shan Ying and the fox

Shan Ying and the fox became friends. In order to strengthen their friendship, they decided to live together. So the eagle flew to a place

Build a nest on the top of a tall tree to hatch offspring, and the fox gets into the bushes under the tree to give birth.

One day, the fox went out for food, and the eagle just stopped cooking. He flew into the bush, snatched the little fox away and had a hearty meal with the little eagle. When the fox came back, he knew it was an eagle. He is sad for the death of his child, and the saddest thing is that he can't get revenge for a while, because he is an animal and can only run on the ground and can't chase birds. So he had to stand at a distance and curse the enemy, which is something that the weak can do.

Soon, the eagle's treachery was also severely punished. Once, someone killed sheep in the wild to sacrifice to the gods, and the eagle flew down, grabbed the mutton with fire from the altar and brought it back to the nest. At this time, a strong wind blew, and the tiny dry branches in the nest immediately ignited a fierce flame.

Those fledgling eagles were burned to death and fell from trees. The fox ran over and ate all the young eagles in front of the eagle.

This story shows that God will punish a faithless person, even if the victim is weak and unable to retaliate against him.

Clever lamb

The lost lamb was caught by the wolf.

Although the lamb is trembling with fear, it is very clever. The lamb said:

"Uncle Wolf, please, before you eat me, can you play a flute for me?"

"What? What is the flute for? "

"I want to dance my favorite dance with the flute before I die."

"You won't slip away while dancing!"

"No, no, I will never run away!"

"all right! I'll play one! "

The wolf played the flute, and the lamb danced to the tune. It was so cute.

The shepherd heard the flute and ran over.

"ah! It's a wolf! "

The shepherd caught the wolf angrily and saved the lamb.

The wolf is very remorseful.

"Be cheated! That's the signal that the lamb asks the shepherd for help! "
