After the cuckoo lays eggs,

Fable stories borrow some classic examples to tell you profound truth. These stories are short, but full of philosophy. Here are two fables I made up. Welcome to read and enjoy them.

(1) After the cuckoo lays eggs,

The cuckoo laid two eggs, and the more she watched them, the more she liked them. However, cuckoos hate hatching eggs. It's more painful to squat in the nest all day without eating or drinking. This is worse than going to prison.

Almost at the same time, the magpie also laid two eggs. Magpie squatted down to hatch eggs honestly and seriously. On the way, it flew to the stream and had a few drinks. When it came back, it was startled: "Wow! Clearly laid two eggs, how suddenly become four! Well, maybe I just took a nap, and I laid two eggs in my dream! "

When the owl saw her, she was startled and reminded, "Sister Magpie, I just saw the cuckoo. Did it lay eggs in your nest? "

"Joke, how did her eggs fall into someone else's nest? Is she crazy? " The magpie asked disapprovingly.

"Last time the python laid eggs in the crow's nest, I kindly reminded it that the crow didn't believe it at all, and as a result, two small pythons hatched, and the poor crow was strangled alive by them, so ..."

"Bullshit! It is a happy event for people to hatch eggs. You are so unlucky, say something unlucky. Stay away from me! " Magpie is angry.

Many days later, all four children hatched.

Magpies are very happy and busy, flying around looking for bugs to feed their children.

Du Fu's children are born early and grow fast. They are overbearing and cruel. When the magpie left the nest for food, it cruelly kicked its two children out of the nest alive. When the magpie came back, the two little people complained first: "Mom, the two younger brothers refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on standing on the edge of the bird's nest, and a strong wind blew them down ..." Hearing this, the magpie was startled and flew to the ground. At first glance, two precious sons are dead! From then on, the magpie gave all her love to the remaining two children. The two children enjoy the warmth of maternal love, and the longer their wings are, the fuller they are, but strangely, the longer they are, the less they look like magpies.

The owl reminded again, "Sister Magpie, should you wake up now?" You're raising someone else's child! "

The magpie said, "I'm not the birth mother, but the manager is the foster mother!" " I have no parents. In the future, you can only rely on adopted children to support the elderly! "

"Don't expect Du Fu's children to provide for the aged. In fact, both your parents and children were kicked down and killed by them! "

"What?" Magpie is heartbroken. "Son, is this true?"

"So what?" The cuckoo's two children slapped their asses and flew away.

Magpie wants to cry without tears.

Owl thought: a fatal mistake will be repeated by different objects, and my reminder is useless. Because of this, the owl had to turn a blind eye and didn't want to say anything more.

(2) Tyranny is fiercer than tiger.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the imperial edict was cruel, taxes were exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes were levied, and people's lives were extremely poor. Some people have no choice but to flee with their families and live in deep forests, wilderness and swamps. Although they are also short of clothes and food, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the government can't control it. Maybe they can survive.

The family fled to the foot of Mount Tai. Three generations worked hard from morning till night and finally managed to survive.

There are often wild animals around Mount Tai, and this family is always on tenterhooks. One day, the grandfather of this family went up the mountain to collect firewood, met the tiger and never came back. The family is very sad, but they are helpless. A year later, the father of this family went up the mountain to collect medicine and was killed again. The fate of this family is really tragic, leaving only the son and mother. Mother and son are discussing whether to move somewhere. But think about it, it's really desperate. Dogs bite in every country. Where there is no tiger, there is tyranny and there is no way out. Although there are tigers here, you may not meet them every day. As long as you are careful, you can get away with it. So mother and son still have to live a hard life here.

Another year later, my son went hunting in the mountains and was eaten by a tiger, leaving his mother to sit in front of the grave and cry all day.

On this day, Confucius and his disciples passed by the foot of Mount Tai and saw their mother crying at the grave. I cried so hard. Confucius couldn't sit still in the car. He stood up with concern and asked the students to inquire on the road. He listened carefully.

Lutz asked, "You are crying so sadly. There must be something sad. Can you tell us? "

Mother cried and replied, "We fled here from other places and lived here for many years. My father-in-law was eaten by a tiger before. My husband died in the tiger's mouth last year. Now, my son is eaten by a tiger. What could be more sad than this? " Then he burst into tears.

Confucius couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you leave this place?"

Mother held back her tears and said, "We have no choice. Although there are tigers here, there are no cruel laws. There are many families here who escaped tyranny like us. "

After hearing this, Confucius was very emotional. He said to his disciples, "Students, remember that cruel laws are fiercer than a tiger that eats people!" " "

The cruel exploitation and oppression of feudal rulers made the poor desperate. They would rather live in an environment threatened by tigers than under tyranny.
