Krylov’s Fable (3): Be a thinking reed

The oak tree is the largest flowering plant in the world. It is resistant to dryness, high temperature and moisture, and is resistant to frost and storms. It is a very tenacious tree species. It is said that an oak tree in California, USA, has survived for at least 13,000 years and may be the oldest known living creature in the world. The United States has selected the oak tree as their national tree.

Oak trees are hard and have a wide crown. They are known as the "King of the Forest". The oak tree symbolizes strength, strength and perseverance. There is a proverb in German that says, "One hand cannot knock down an oak tree."

In the late 1980s, Shu Ting, a Chinese poet of the Misty School, wrote a love poem titled "To the Oak Tree". From then on, the oak tree became the synonym for the tall, majestic, handsome and unrestrained male god in the minds of Chinese women.

Reed is a grass plant that lives near water. Reeds are very weak and will fall when exposed to the wind.

But there is a very famous metaphor about reeds. Pascal said: "Man is a thinking reed." It can be seen that in the eyes of the world, reeds have thoughts.

What happens when the majestic oak meets the weak reed?

Among Krylov's fables, there is one "Oak and Reed":

Once an oak tree talked with a reed.

The oak tree said, "Honestly speaking, you do have the right to complain about God.

Even a sparrow will make you feel heavy.

Even if it causes The ripples of the breeze,

You will also sway, as weak as the wind,

You are so lonely and bent,

Looking at you is scary Sad and heartbreaking.

But I am as proud as the Caucasus Mountains.

Not only does it block the strong sunlight,

I also dare to laugh at thunder and lightning.

I stand upright and firm,

This unbreakable world seems to be my barrier,

To me it is always a breeze, but to you it is always a storm,

As long as you grow around me,

The thick shade of my branches and leaves can cover you.

I can also provide you with bad weather. Be a bodyguard.

But God has destined you to live on the riverbank where the violent wind god rules.

Of course, God doesn’t care about you at all. ”

"You have a good heart," replied Lu Wei,

"But don't worry: I won't be unlucky,

I don't care for myself Afraid of the storm;

Although I will stoop, I will not break;

The storm will not do much damage to me,

But it will do to you The threat is much more powerful!

Yes, their ferocity has not yet been able to

destroy your strength,

and you will not be hit by the storm.

But let’s wait and see the outcome! ”

Reed just finished saying this

Suddenly the north wind blew. With hail,

Another heavy rain came from the north.

/p>

The roots of the oak tree penetrated deep into the soil under the thick shade,

Finally they were uprooted by the roaring wind.

You see, the oak tree is apologizing for the reed. It says that the reed is too weak to bear the wind and is so lonely.

It seems to be very compassionate and willing to help others. It said: "As long as you grow around me, the thick shade of my branches and leaves can cover you, and I can also protect you in bad weather. I'll be your bodyguard."

Don't be too happy, it's just talk, it can't help you, it continued, "It's a pity that you are too far away from me, I can't help you." .

The most irritating thing is that it says: "God doesn't care about you at all." The subtext is that you are an inferior species and you should live a humble life.

The reed is great, it is not angry, it says neither humble nor haughty: "But don't worry: I will not be unlucky, I am not afraid of the storm; although I will bend, but I will not Break; the storm did not damage me much, but it is a much greater threat to you!”

What a thoughtful reed, it knows its own strengths and the shortcomings of the oak tree.

It said, Oak tree, you are indeed amazing, you are very strong.

You are not afraid of thunder and lightning and storms, you never bow to them,

That’s because the storm is not strong enough,

When a Category 10 typhoon comes, when an earthquake Come, when the tsunami comes, when the volcano erupts, try it, are you still that strong? !

People, if you want to be a real oak tree, you can't just show off your appearance, boast, be self-righteous, and don't know how high the sky is.

People, be a thoughtful reed, no matter how ordinary, no matter how weak, as long as you live seriously, you don’t have to belittle yourself, and you don’t have to care about how others treat you poorly. No one is the scale of your life. If you are influenced by other people's evaluations, others will be your hell!
