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。
我的同学有一张瓜子脸,浓眉大眼,唯一的缺点,就是长得太黑,皮肤黑的就是一位非洲人,简称“盗版非洲人”。这也只是他的外号之一。
说他自恋吧,还真是。有一次上语文课,老师讲着课,不知怎么,讲着讲着,就转移到谁长得最帅,这个话题上。男生们都面红耳赤的低下头。当时,课堂上一片静寂。老师又问了一遍:“只要自己觉得自己长得谁就站起来,不要紧。”接着又是一片静寂,然后我的同学首当其冲的站了起来。我们全班女生都用不服的眼神看着他,但是,他并没有害臊,继续站着。因此,我们全班又送给他了一个外号“自恋狂”。
他跑的也倒是挺快的,他是我们班男生中的第二名。但是奇葩的他又一次奇葩事情上演了,当时应该是接力赛,可恶的“自恋狂”没等跑,就已经吐了。没办法只能让替补上了。虽然我们依然是第一名。但是,我们对他又有了更深刻的印象。并且记住了那次呕吐事件。所以,每一次他跑步时,我们都要对他说你可别再吐了。
这就是我的同学—王旭昊。怎么样?有点可爱,有点自恋,还有点神经病,好玩吧,你喜欢吗?
我的妹妹叫张兴远,她是我舅舅的女儿,别看她比我小,可有些事情我还真得向她学习学习。
去年的暑假,我考完试,拿了通知书,就坐飞机回到了老家。回到家后,我和星儿(妹妹的小名)一起去我小姨开的麻辣烫店里饱餐一顿。到了那,我一个劲地拿荤菜,还那很贵的乌冬面,再看看我妹妹,她只拿点白菜,一串香肠,再拿5角钱的面条,我看了,过去对星儿说:“你干嘛只拿素菜呀,来,我给你拿串骨肉相连烫烫吃,可是,她却不领我这个情。”对我说:“姐,虽然这是我们自己家的店,可是也要学会勤俭呀,你看,我们吃的加在一起,小姑又可以赚20几快钱了。”我听了,满脸羞惭的想:“我这个当姐姐的竟然让妹妹来告诉我这些道理。”我连忙把拿的骨肉相连放进了冰箱里。
经历了这件事后,我明白了,即使是自己家开的饭店,也要勤俭,不能因为是因为是自己的饭店就吃很多,我妹妹教会我这件事后,我在自己家的饭店都不会再像以前一样吃的肆无忌惮了。
这就是我的妹妹,一个很勤俭的妹妹。
