(A) the tragedy of the old tortoise
On the beach of the island, there is a huge turtle. It is basking in the warm sun, crawling slowly and feeling very comfortable.
A little seagull flew over, stopped on the turtle's back and asked,
"Grandpa, how old are you?"
"Not too old, 100 years old." The tortoise said slowly.
"ah! At your age, you must have been to many places, right? You must be very skillful, right? You ... "The curious little seagull asked like a barrage.
The old tortoise regained consciousness. He craned his neck, held his head high and swayed slightly, boasting:
"Well, I traveled all over the Pacific Ocean; I wandered all the desolate islands; I have also been to the deepest seabed to see the light. As for my magical ability, I must make your mouth water with envy ... "
Just as the tortoise was talking, the foam splashed and the little seagull suddenly flew away in horror. A man came over and turned the turtle upside down. When the man walked away, he smiled and said:
"I don't have time now. I'll put you on board in half a day. "
The old turtle knows that the big event is not good, so he is waiting for bad luck. Seeing the old turtle lying motionless on his back, the little seagull flew over and said in surprise:
"Grandfather, are you just waiting for someone else to take it away?"
Hearing this, the old turtle covered his face with two front feet in shame.
(2) The fable of a leaf
one
A leaf was blown high into the air by the wind, and finally it was compared to an eagle in Qi Fei.
"What if you have strong wings? Aren't we at the same height now? " The leaves said to the eagle.
"But our heights are different." The eagle reminds the leaves.
"What's the difference?"
"Your height was blown up by others, and my height was made by myself."
"What's the difference? As long as you fly high, it is skill. "
"But our abilities are different."
"What's the difference?" As soon as the sound of leaves fell, the wind stopped and the leaves kept falling.
The eagle looked down at the fallen leaves and said, "This is the difference!" " "Say that finish, the eagle spread its wings and rushed to the sky.

The leaves on the branches are dancing under the wind. One of the leaves saw the birds flying in the sky and couldn't help admiring: "If I can leave the branches, I can fly freely in the sky like a bird."
As a result, the leaf struggled desperately and finally broke free from the branches under the wind. "Ah, I'm free!" The leaves cheered, but at this moment, the leaves felt that their bodies were falling and finally fell to the ground, unable to move. "How did this happen?" Leaves can't figure it out.
A bird landed on a leaf and said, "In fact, your sky is on the branch, where you can have your happiness and freedom."

"Who said that flying must have wings? I have no wings, so I flew to the sky. " The leaves blown into the sky by the wind are showing off.
"Then where are you flying to?" Asked the bird.
"I don't know where to fly." The leaves said, "Where the wind blows me, I will fly."
"But, you know, flying without a goal means flying farther and higher, and the distance of flying is equal to zero." Said the bird.

A bird perched beside a fallen leaf when a gust of wind blew. The leaves of the tree blown by the wind asked the bird still living there, "How can I be at the mercy of the wind and you won't?"
"Because you can't see the hope of life." The bird said, "Only those hopeless lives will be at the mercy of fate."
