The Frog in the Shallow Well
Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"
Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
"Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."
After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.
一口废井里住着一只青蛙。有一天,青蛙在井边碰上了一只从海里来的大龟。 青蛙就对海龟夸口说:“你看,我住在这里多快乐!有时高兴了,就在井栏边跳跃一阵;疲倦了,就回到井里,睡在砖洞边一回。或者只留出头和嘴巴,安安静静地把全身泡在水里:或者在软绵绵的泥浆里散一回步,也很舒适。看看那些虾和蝌虾,谁也此不上我。而且,我是这个井里的主人,在这井里极自由自在,你为什么不常到井里来游赏呢!” 那海龟听了青蛙的话,倒真想进去看看。但它的左脚还没有整个伸进去,右脚就已经绊住了。它连忙后退了两步,把大海的情形告诉青蛙说:“你看过海吗?海的广大,哪止千里;海的深度,哪只千来丈。古时候,十年有九年大水,海里的水,并不涨了多少;后来,八年里有七年大早,海里的水,也不见得浅了多少。可见大海是不受旱涝影响的。住在那样的大海里,才是真的快乐呢!” 井蛙听了海龟的一番话,吃惊地呆在那里,再没有话可说了。
寓意:宇宙无终极,学识无穷尽。这则寓言告诫人们,千万不要因一孔之见,便洋洋自得,不要因一得之功,便沾沾自喜。
我从前看过许多的漫画,像什莫多啦A梦什莫乌龙院我都看过,可是我印象最深的还是着名漫画家:华君武的一幅具有讽刺、批判意义的一幅漫画,叫做《假文盲》。
《假文盲》主要画的是在意个母子候车处的护栏里站着几个穿着整齐,知识分子的男人。却把瘦弱的母子俩排挤在外,妇女只得抱着孩子默默地流泪,而这些男人真的是文盲不识字吗?不是的。那为什莫要装作是目不识丁呢?目的很简单,就是为了能早点上车,抢到一个好位子。却一点不顾及被人的感受。这样自私自利的认知社会中随处可见。
在一个公共汽车座位上醒目的写着老弱病残座,可上面却坐着年轻的小伙子,漂亮的阿姨,却冷落了站在一旁的老奶奶,在城市的街道旁立了一个牌子上面写着:此处不要乱扔垃圾可上面却堆满了大大小小的垃圾袋和果皮纸屑,在一块刚开辟出来的草坪上写着:小草有生命,请不要践踏!可上面却热闹非凡,有的在打羽毛球,有的在打毽子,有的在拍皮球。
我想高声对全世界呼吁:世界拒绝假文盲,这些人自私自利,不把被人放在眼中,为了自己的方便,却不顾及他人的感受,社会不需要他们,这些人最后是会被社会淘汰的,所以我们一定不要做假文盲,要做一个设身处地,为他人着想的人。
魏文王问名医扁鹊说:“你们家兄弟三人,都精于医术,到底哪一位最好呢?
扁鹊答:“长兄最好,中兄次之,我最差。
文王再问:“那么为什么你最出名呢?
扁鹊答:“长兄治病,是治病于病情发作之前。由于一般人不知道他事先能铲除病因,所以他的名气无法传出去;中兄治病,是治病于病情初起时。一般人以为他只能治轻微的小病,所以他的名气只及本乡里。而我是治病于病情严重之时。一般人都看到我在经脉上穿针管放血、在皮肤上敷药等大手术,所以以为我的医术高明,名气因此响遍全国。
【心得】:事后控制不如事中控制,事中控制不如事前控制。
一天早上,猫妈妈带着猫宝宝到小河边去钓鱼。他们刚坐下,一只蜻蜓飞来了,猫宝宝丢下鱼竿高兴地跑去捉。可是,猫宝宝捉了半天也没有捉着,只好空着手又回到河边钓鱼。一会儿,一只花蝴蝶飞来了,猫宝宝又丢下鱼竿高兴地跑去抓。 可是,猫宝宝抓了半天也没有抓到,只好空着手又回到河边。这时,猫宝宝看到猫妈妈已经钓了好多条大鱼了。 “真气人,我怎么一条鱼也钓不着呢?”猫宝宝说。猫妈妈说:“钓鱼要专心,你一会捉蜻蜓,一会捉蝴蝶,怎么能钓着鱼呢?”猫宝宝听了猫妈妈的话,一心一意地钓鱼,果然钓到了大鱼。
小猫钓鱼的故事启示:这个故事告诉小朋友,无论做什么事情,都要专心致志。
