White-headed pig

(1) White-headed pigs

Long ago, all the pigs raised in rural areas in Liaodong were black. People here had never seen pigs of other colors, and thought that all the pigs in the world were black.

One year, a sow of Zhang San's family gave birth. He happily counted the newborn piglets: "One, two ..." Suddenly, he stopped and opened his mouth wide for a long time. He was surprised to see that there was a little white piglet lying in the pigsty! He rushed out and said to everyone, "My pig gave birth to a white-headed pig, white-headed!" Everyone rushed to his house to see the white-headed pig with their own eyes, and everyone was amazed. For a time, this anecdote spread all over the town.

People are talking about this rare pig with great interest. The oldest, most knowledgeable and most authoritative person in the village said, "I have lived for so many years, and I saw a bald pig for the first time. In my opinion, this pig must be a god-given pig, which can bring good luck. We should send this noble god pig to the capital to be dedicated to the emperor, so as to make our hometown famous all over the world! " Everyone agreed, so they began to put on airs, make red flowers, set gongs and drums, and prepared nervously.

After a few days, everything was ready, so we sent a few strong young men to carry a shelf decorated with red satin, put the white-headed pig on it, and led by a capable man, beat gongs and drums and blew horns, and set off for Beijing all the way happily and noisily.

After walking for several days, I came to the east of the river. People are surprised to find that almost all the pigs raised by farmers there are bald pigs, which are very common. Only then did everyone know that the so-called "auspicious god pig" they were carrying to the emperor was actually just a very ordinary pig. People, disappointed and depressed, had to take their little white pigs back to Liaodong.

These people are so ignorant that they don't even know that there are other pigs in the world that they make a big joke. The world is very big, and there are still many things we don't know. Don't blow your own horn without making a clear investigation.

(2) Willow and Pumpkin

Willow has never been free. Either a pillar leans against its trunk or the nearby plants are too close. Willow really can't grow freely, and it is often pruned and disabled.

The poor willow tree began to sigh often.

"it can't go on like this! I must concentrate on getting rid of this slave status! "

Willow dreams of freedom. It didn't simply think, but did find a solution to the problem.

"I know all the plants around me, and I also know the special requirements of each plant. Maybe I can find a plant that doesn't need to rely on me at all."

The willow was thinking hard to pass the day. Suddenly, the spark of thought lit up its mind.

"in the past, why didn't I think of that? My head! "

willow branches are shaking with joy. It has no doubt that pumpkin is the ideal partner, and it can be used to entangle others without being entangled.

With an object, the willow will raise its branches, hoping to see its friend-the bird. At this moment, a real magpie flew in. The willow tree calls it at once.

"Dear bird," said Liu Shu, "I hope you don't forget my help to you the other day. A hungry savage peregrine falcon tried to swallow you, and I told you to hide under my branches. Don't forget that when your wings are tired, you often rest on my branches. Therefore, noble bird, I hope you will not refuse my request. Please find the pumpkin and ask it for some pumpkin seeds. You tell them not to be afraid of me. When the seeds germinate and grow, I will treat them like my own children. "

"what else?" Asked the magpie.

"nothing! You have to find the right language to persuade pumpkin, promise my request and bring me back pumpkin seeds. You are an orator, you don't need me to teach you again! "

Magpie didn't refuse or agree, but offered an exchange. Finally, I reached an agreement with Liu Shu. Willow promised not to entertain snakes and minks, and only magpies were allowed to make nests on its branches.

The magpie flapped its wings and flew to the pumpkin with its tail as the rudder.

"I greet and salute you, Oh, pumpkin!" Magpie said the opening remarks like this.

After saying some other beautiful words, I asked him for the pumpkin seeds that Liu Shu really wanted. The magpie got the seed and flew back to its friend Liu Shu, who welcomed the magpie like a festival.

"Now, you should plant them!" Willow said to the magpie.

The magpie fanned its wings and dug holes around the willow. Then, it planted the seeds one by one with its mouth.

before long, pumpkin seeds germinated. They began to grow suddenly, and climbed onto the willow trunk, and soon they climbed everywhere. Finally, the big leaves of the pumpkin covered the willow tree so tightly that it could no longer see the sun and the sky. In addition, some big pumpkins are produced, which are heavy and fall on the tender branches of willow trees, pulling the branches of willow trees, as if to punish willow trees. The willow tree shakes in vain and can't escape. In despair, the willow tree didn't understand how strong the pumpkin and its knot were, and no one could untie it with much effort!

The wind blows from here, and the willow cries out to tell it about its misfortune and asks for help. When the wind heard it, it blew hard.

The willow whose juice and nutrition were sucked dry by the pumpkin was left with an empty shell. As a result, it split in two from root to stem and fell to the ground.

the willow tree is suffering for its misfortune. It thinks:

"Hey, my birthday is not good."

many people hope that they will not suffer any hardships in their lives. However, this is impossible. The best way is to choose a better one among the bad ones.
