What do you mean the rabbit broke its neck and died?

A rabbit hit a stump, broke its neck and died.

From Han Fei, during the Warring States Period. Excerpt: In the Song Dynasty, someone plowed the field and there was a plant in the field. The rabbit touched the plant, broke its neck and died. Because he put it there, he stood beside the plant, hoping to get the rabbit back, but the rabbit couldn't get it back. Just like a song of Xiao Guo. Today, the people who want to go to the former dynasty are all guarding their factories and so on.

Translation: There is a Song man who is farming in the field. There was a stump in the field. A rabbit ran in, broke its neck and died. From then on, the last man put down his farm tools and stood by the stump, hoping to find the dead rabbit again. Of course, he couldn't get a rabbit, which became a joke of Song State. Now, if we want to govern the contemporary people with the politics of the late king, it undoubtedly belongs to those who wait for him.

Appreciation of works:

Waiting for the Rabbit has only 39 words, but its meaning is profound. The rabbit committed suicide on the stump, which was just an accidental event in life, but the farmer imagined that this kind of beautiful thing could become a frequent occurrence, so he was finally laughed at in a rural wasteland.

This story reveals a truth: if you don't work hard, you will get lucky, and if you expect to live by luck, there will be no good result. The fable "Waiting for a Rabbit" is also often used to criticize those rigid dogmatic ways of thinking.
