有一天,小鹿对公鹿说道,“父亲,你怎么还怕狗呢?你比他高大,比他跑得更快,而且还有很大的角用于自卫。”公鹿笑着说:“孩儿,你说得都对,可我只知道一点,一听到狗的叫声,我就会不由自主地立刻逃跑。”
这故事说明,激励那些天生胆小、软弱的人毫无用处。
一只公鸡在田野里为自己和母鸡们寻找食物。他发现了一块宝玉,便对宝玉说:“若不是我,而是你的主人找到了你,他会非常珍惜地把你捡起来;但我发现了你却毫无用处。我与其得到世界上一切宝玉,倒不如得到一颗麦子好。”
这是说自己需要的东西才是真正珍贵的。
Nowadays, advertisements can be found everywhere in big cities. They shout at us from the television screen and radio loudspeakers, wave to us from every page of the newspaper, signal to us from the roadside billboards all day and flash messages to us in colored lights all night.
Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whether it is necessary to have such huge sums spent on advertising. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false and deceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. Why don't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a good idea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to our society. Because the production of a better product to compete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, customers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one. Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed information as to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient. And another thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so little for our daily newspapers and TV programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society that we can't imagine what would happen if there were no advertisements. (198 words
冬天,农夫发现一条蛇冻僵了,他很可怜它,便把蛇放在自己怀里。蛇温暖后,苏醒了过来,恢复了它的本性,咬了它的恩人一口,使他受到了致命的伤害。农夫临死前说:“我该死,我怜悯恶人,应该受恶报。”
这故事说明,即使对恶人仁至义尽,他们的邪恶本性也是不会改变的。
狮子睡着了,有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来,把他抓住,准备吃掉。老鼠请求饶命,并说如果保住性命,必将报恩,狮子轻蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了。不久,狮子真的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获,并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他的哀嚎,走过去咬断绳索,放走了狮子,并说:“你当时嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的报答,现在可清楚了,老鼠也能报恩。”
这故事说明,时运交替变更,强者也会有需要弱者的时候。
一头牛到水潭边去喝水,踩着了一群小蛙,并踩死了其中一只。小蛙妈妈回来后,见到少了一个儿子,便问他的兄弟们,他到哪里去了。一只小蛙说:“亲爱的妈妈,他死了。刚才有一头巨大的四足兽来到潭边,用他的.蹄子踩死了我们的兄弟。”蛙妈妈一边尽力鼓气,一边问道:“那野兽是不是这个样子,这般大小呢?”小蛙说:“妈妈,您别再鼓气了。我想您不可能和那怪物一样大小,再鼓气就会把肚子胀破。”
这是说,渺小无论如何也不能与伟大相比。
