The idiom story snake swallows elephant, because it lacks people's heart.

Story version of the idiom "A snake swallowed an elephant because it lacked human heart" 1

One autumn, on his way home, Feng found a little snake curled up in the autumn wind, which was very pitiful. Feng moved to hide, carefully picked up the snake and put it in the sleeve cage to take it home, and carefully fed it. Elephants like small snakes, too. They often go to the fields to catch frogs and feed them. The little snake was carefully fed and soon grew into a big snake, with a frightening appetite. The elephant doesn't want to catch frogs for it anymore. Feng decided to put the flower snake in the reeds. Flower snake has lived in Feng Jiasheng for more than ten years, and she is a little reluctant to leave Feng's family. However, seeing that Feng is old and weak, likes to be lazy, and her life is getting worse and worse, she has to leave. Flower snake nodded to Feng again and again, thanked his master for his kindness, and then swam into the reeds.

Feng is old, and he said to the object many times: "Son!" As an old man, there is not much road ahead. You should learn some skills so that you can stand on your own feet in the future. "The elephant always says disdainfully," Don't worry, we'll cross the bridge when we come to it. "Feng always doesn't make progress when he sees his son. He often cries, shakes his head and sighs, saying, "It's not the godfather's fault to raise children. "

A few years later, Feng died. Neighbors arranged things for Feng. Like ignorance and laziness, he began to make a living by selling his property. Things worth a little money at home are gradually sold out by him, and life is getting harder and harder. He often eats his last meal without getting into the chariot. Seeing that winter is coming, cotton-padded clothes are sold out as early as autumn, as if curled up in bed and unable to get up, and there is no bite to eat at home. Like a broken heart, I lay in bed with my head covered and cried, complaining why my father didn't leave more property. I was crying when I heard a rustle, and then the door opened. The elephant was startled and thought it was a thief. The elephant's head was still under the covers, and he cried even more sadly. He cried and said, "There is nothing valuable in this family except the house. You can take whatever you want. " After that, I burst into tears. After crying for a while, I felt someone patting the bed, as if it were sticking out from under the bed. There is a huge flower snake in front of the bed, and my soul is almost scared. Looking again, the flower snake is crying. The elephant suddenly remembered the flower snake that was put in the reeds a few years ago and came back. The elephant said, "Flower snake, don't you have anything to eat?" Flower snake shook his head. "Then why did you come back?" Flower snake suddenly spoke: "elephant, your father and son saved me. Now you are in trouble, and I can't help you." As soon as the elephant heard that the flower snake could talk, he got up and said in surprise, "Flower snake, you used to talk?" Flower snake nodded. The elephant quickly said, "How can you help me?" The flower snake said, "My eyes are the night pearl. If you dig one in my eye with a knife, you can get hundreds of taels of silver, and you can enjoy it for a lifetime according to your normal life. " If an elephant has a spring on its ass, it will jump out of bed and find a knife. When I came to the front of the flower snake, I trembled all over and dared not do it. The flower snake said, "Don't be afraid, you dig my left eye." Like a knife, the flower snake's left eye burst out, and blood gushed out like spring water, spraying the elephant all over. The flower snake was in unbearable pain and rolled on the ground for a long time. It will say, "Elephant, take care of yourself. I'm going back to the reeds. "

The elephant washed the snake's eyes, put them in his arms, and then went to the biggest drugstore in the city. The waiter at the counter didn't dare to ask for the night pearl when he heard that someone wanted to sell it. He rushed to the back hall and found the one who was guarded. The shopkeeper glanced at the night pearl repeatedly and praised: "Good! Good! " Looking at the young man wearing a light coat outside the cabinet, he asked a little incredulously, "How did you get it?" This is a rare thing in the world. "The elephant held his head high and said proudly," It's nothing strange to get it. "Then he told the shopkeeper about keeping and releasing snakes, and the snake came back to repay his master. The shopkeeper said in surprise, "if you can get the snake gall, it will be priceless." The elephant said angrily, "will that kill the snake?" After bargaining with the shopkeeper, Xiang got 220 pieces of silver and went home. "。

With money, the elephant began to lead a drunken life again. Everyone in the casino knows the generous elephant, everyone in the brothel knows that the elephant is rich, and the pub owner knows that the elephant is never stingy. The elephant often secretly laughs at his dead old man. I have worked hard all my life and I don't know what happiness is. I am lucky to know what I have been complaining about all my life.

A few years passed quickly, and the elephant had little money left. The casino owner began to force him to collect debts, and the beautiful girl in the brothel had a new love. The bartender in the pub dared to roll his eyes at the elephant. A few years ago, the shopkeeper of the drugstore said that snake gall was priceless, and it often floated on the elephant's head. Xiang said to the casino owner, "When I have money, I will buy the city, and I will ask you to bring it on." The elephant shouted at the beautiful girl in the brothel, "bitch, I know I have money." If you buy this money, I will let you lick my ass. " The elephant said to the tavern owner, "Dog Eye, when I have money, I will buy this city and let you drink urine."

One day, the elephant was drunk and staggered to the reeds. The reeds are endless, where can I find the flower snake? If you can't find a flower snake or snake gall, how can you live in the future? The elephant shouted at the reed, "Flower snake! Flower snake! Here comes the elephant. " After a while, I heard a loud cry, and the wind rolled the reed leaves. The flower snake came to the elephant and the elephant was overjoyed. But when the elephant offered to take the snake gall, the flower snake shed a line of tears and said sadly, "Elephant, you took my gall, didn't you kill me?" The elephant said, "How can I live without taking out your intestines?" Flower snake sighed, "A few years ago, I dug an eye. A few hundred taels of silver should be enough for you to enjoy for a lifetime, but you are insatiable in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. No matter how much money you have, you can't squander it. Let's go, I can't help you! " After that, I bowed my head in pain and didn't want to see the elephant again. Like a flower-watching snake, he lowered his head and hurriedly took out a knife from his pocket. He raised his knife to kill the flower snake, but the flower snake let go and trembled with anger. He thought, what's the use of leaving evil people in the world? So open your mouth and breathe gently, like a leaf floating into Huashekou. After swallowing the elephant, the flower snake swam back to the reeds.

Grandma used this story to educate us: "People should not be greedy."

With the passage of time, the "snake" originally adopted with matchboxes is no longer a trivial matter. It has grown like a dragon and can swallow people's momentum. But the snake didn't hurt the elephant, as if it took it as its owner. One day, the elephant's mother was ill, and the doctor said that it was necessary to eat snake gall to make the disease spread quickly and well. Just when it seemed to have a headache, the snake opened its mouth and motioned for the elephant to enter its body to cut the snake's gall.

The story of a snake swallowing an elephant without a heart version 4

In ancient times, there was a woodcutter who lived by chopping wood. He has a kind heart. One day he saw an injured snake on the way up the mountain and was merciful. So he took off his clothes, wrapped them carefully and took them home. He kept it as a pet after his injury healed. In his spare time, he became a talk of entertaining himself. Snakes are also very similar to humans. After a long time, he has a certain affection for snakes, and he is more and more reluctant to put them back into the wild.

With the passage of time, snakes grow up gradually, and the original partial eclipse is meat, and their appetite is getting bigger and bigger. The woodcutter felt that he couldn't afford it, and at the same time he had the idea of starting a family. Finally, one day, the woodcutter hesitated and said to the snake, "You have grown up, and I can't afford to support you. I found a cave for you. I'll take you there at night. You should learn to eat by yourself, and I will come to see you often. " The snake nodded and said yes. After sending the snake to the cave that night, he agreed to stamp his feet at the mouth of the cave as a signal that he was coming.

The woodcutter soon became a family and continued to earn firewood to support his family. He did practice his preface and often visited snakes. Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle. More than ten years have passed, and the woodcutter's son has grown up, and his son has inherited his father's business. Father and son often see snakes when they are firewood together, and his father always tells him stories about himself and snakes over and over again. Seeing that the snake grew year by year, the woodcutter was too old to climb the mountain, so he gave his son a promise to visit the snake often.

The stars turn, winter goes to spring, and many years later, the woodcutter's son has a son-and the son has a son, which is endless. With the birth and death of several generations, the legend of woodcutter's kindness to save snakes and his family's attachment to snakes has become a famous legend in ten miles and eight townships. The original promise was also designated as ancestral training, and the lucky snake was also cultivated into a smoking python.

Later, when a woodcutter's descendant was called "Elephant", a local rich girl got a strange disease, and the famous doctor was dying after seeing it for a long time. One day, a quack came to feel his pulse and prescribed a prescription, saying that four or two pythons' livers must be used as a primer to work wonders and bring him back to life. It is urgent to save my daughter's life. Where can I get this thing now? Mr. W was very anxious, so he posted posters at four gates in the city, promising that whoever could cure his daughter's illness within three days would marry her to him, regardless of age and family wealth, and he would marry half of the family property.

The news reached the ears of the elephant. The elephant had a brainwave and was overjoyed. He thought it was time for him to get rich. He went to Mr. W's house and made a promise. Then he ran to the cave where the snake lived, stood at the mouth of the cave and cut three feet according to the signal handed down by his ancestors. When the snake heard this, it stuck its head out. The elephant told the story and begged again. Snakes have long had the idea of repaying kindness, but they have no way and opportunity. After listening to it, it nodded without thinking, and then opened its mouth. The elephant rushed in, found the liver and cut a piece with a knife. Suddenly, it felt the snake twitch, and then it hurried out. It's unbearable to see the snake with its mouth closed and its teeth clenched. After saying a few words of thanks and apologies, it left the Yamaguchi and slipped away happily.

Miss's illness finally turned the corner, and soon she gradually recovered. Mr. W is not only happy to turn Ai's illness into a disaster, but also happy that the son-in-law who is about to get married is from a poor family, but he is quite suitable for his daughter's age. She not only agreed to the original promise, but also licensed the property such as houses and fields to her daughter-in-law. Soon, she chose an auspicious day to marry them, but she was relieved.

"Previous generations planted trees, while future generations enjoyed the cool", and "Elephant" became a nouveau riche by virtue of its ancestors' merit of "inadvertently planting willows into the shade", with fertile land, deep houses and courtyards, herds of mules and horses, cattle and sheep, servants and maids, and his wife gave birth to a son as she wished. In a year, his fate changed like a dream, and his neighbors were telling the story of his "snake belly"

"The spring breeze is proud and the horseshoe is light", and the physical appearance determines the mental outlook. "Elephant" fully enjoys the taste of wealth, but he also knows that there are people in the world, and there are days in the sky, and there are higher steps in life, such as wealth, fame and fortune, and glory for our ancestors. The more dazzling scenery of life occupies a place in his extravagant hopes.

Waiting, dreaming, and opportunity finally came again.

Coincidentally, the princess in her prime also suffered from a strange disease. The imperial doctor in the palace did not move, so he invited a folk doctor into the palace, looked at it, prescribed a prescription, and asked for four or two python livers. It was hard to find it for a while, so the emperor wrote a letter, posted the list of emperors all over the country, and told him that anyone who could make the liver of four or two pythons and cure the princess's illness should be recruited as his mother-in-law, and he should be given an official title and a knighthood, holding an important position in the court.

Xiang happens to work in the city. Seeing the imperial list, his heart ached and he wanted to gamble again. He reached for it without hesitation. The official guarding the imperial list immediately took him to the county magistrate, asked him who he was and told him that the imperial list had been unveiled. If he can't finish the work within the time limit, he can commit the crime of cheating the king. This is no joke. "Xiang" dedicated his once feat snake belly and snake liver to the county magistrate.

On the way home, I was hit by a shadow in a happy mood and suddenly felt my legs were heavy. After all, taking the liver out of the snake's stomach is not going up the mountain to get firewood. If I am wishful thinking and rejected by the snake, then missing the princess's life is the death penalty. After I was horrified and regretted, I knew it was difficult to ride a tiger, so I had to bite the bullet and go home, holding a knife without telling my wife, and ventured to the snake hole in the mountain.

Before he came to the snake cave, he cut off three feet as usual, and the snake poked its head out again. The urgency of longing and the fear of disappointment made him kneel on his knees and beg the snake to save his life. Snakes are confused. Like self-condemnation, how the "elephant" was confused and impulsively deleted the imperial list and its contents. If the consequences are not delivered, it is eloquent. The ancestors were poor and lived by collecting firewood. It seems that I can't help knocking on my head three times, begging the snake to say that saving his life is equivalent to saving his family. I am highly respected and I will be able to achieve positive results. The snake knows that if the "elephant" goes down with this knife, he will face another sharp pain or even the edge of life and death, but once again he remembers the kindness of his ancestors and looks at the pitiful begging of the "elephant". In a very contradictory state of mind, pity and gratitude finally prevailed, so he opened his mouth and let the elephant get in. "Elephant" felt the liver head go to the dirty place like last time, but it was too late. As soon as he cut down, he rushed out and went down the snake's throat. After the snake twitched all over, he gasped, closed his mouth and clenched his teeth. The elephant never came out again.

The sudden disappearance of the "elephant" caused family chaos. When people speculated, the official went home. After the truth came out, an ominous premonition came into being, and family members and neighbors went up the mountain to look for it without a trace, and finally judged that it might be swallowed up by snakes. The classic "The snake swallows the elephant because of the lack of people's heart" has also spread since then and has been passed down to this day.
