Aesop's Fables: The North Wind and the Sun
#ABILITY TRAINING# Introduction The sun is like a huge fireball, its rays are scorching, the road is scorched by the scorching sun, and a string of white smoke is emitted with every step you step on. The following is Aesop's fable shared by Kao.com: The North Wind and the Sun. Welcome to read and reference!
North Wind and Sun
There was a dispute between North Wind and Sun, both claiming that they were more powerful than the others. Finally, they decided to test their power on pedestrians to see who could make them take off their coats the fastest. The north wind was the first to try its skills. It exerted all its power and blew strong winds at the people on the ground, as if it could sweep away people's clothes by its own strength. However, the stronger the wind blew, the tighter people wrapped themselves up. It's the Sun's turn to try his hand. At first, the warm sunshine shone on the pedestrians, and soon people took off their coats and put them loosely on their shoulders as they walked; then, as the sun shone brightly, people quickened their pace, took off their coats happily, and enjoyed their journey more relaxedly. .
Persuasion is better than violence.
Pine trees and sunflowers
In a vast and boundless grassland, there is a pine forest with uneven trees growing upright into the sky. The sun shines on the needle-like pine leaves, the earth exudes the fragrance of earth, and earthworms burrow from one end to the other. All the beauty seems to unfold here.
Most of the pine trees here need to be transplanted. Some are sent to the park to become a green scenery, some are sent to the botanical garden for tourists to take photos and enjoy, and some are sent to the community... One day, a pine tree was about to be transplanted to the cemetery and become its guardian. Before leaving, other pine trees took advantage of the wind to swing their branches, as if they were reluctant to say goodbye.
The butterflies in the distance seemed to know about the tree’s departure and came specially to say goodbye to it. The tree looked at the butterfly affectionately and said, "Next time we meet, can you dance for me?" The butterfly flapped its wings and circled happily around the big tree. The accompanying worker bees also came to join in the fun and said: "Pine tree, don't be sad. We will come to see you!"
The ants on the ground held hands and sang around the pine tree. The lyrics roughly said: Hand in hand, hearts connected, the forest is a family and we are never separated. Hand in hand, heart to heart, my dear friend, you have to travel far today. We are gathered here to bid you a happy farewell! May the wind protect you on our behalf, and may the sun shine brightly tomorrow and illuminate your future path.
The next day, a group of tough men skillfully dug a big hole around the pine tree, then slowly leaned the pine tree on the truck and fixed it with thick nylon ropes. . The mountain road is steep and often encounters small rocks. The truck bumps along the way. Pine Tree thinks about the road ahead and feels very confused. He doesn't know what is waiting for him.
The car drove for several hours and finally arrived at Anle Cemetery, where the pine trees will also be stationed. There were almost no people coming and going in the cemetery. On the first day, no one came here except the cemetery caretaker. At night, with the moon hanging directly above it, the pine tree felt lonely as never before. At this time, a little worker bee flew over and said quietly to the pine tree: "Hi! I'm here to see you!"
"Okay! Come talk to me! I'm going to die of boredom!" said the pine tree.
"Haha, look, I brought you a gift." The worker bee mysteriously shook its body next to the soil of the pine tree, and then stepped lightly with its feet. The pine tree looked at its strange behavior curiously and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Secret. You will know it soon." After working for a while, the worker bee fluttered its wings and flew away. .
Soon, after a heavy rain, green buds appeared in the soil. The pine tree looked at the grass and said, "It turns out to be a grass! You are the gift sent by the bee. ."
"Humph, I'm not a grasshopper," said Nenmiao unconvinced.
"Is it possible that you are still a bright flower? Hahahaha." The pine tree said jokingly.
“I am the young shoot of the sunflower!”
The Sun and the North Wind
The North Wind and the Sun saw a traveler who was worried about the bad weather. Be prepared, it was early autumn, and it is good for a traveler to be careful.
It rains sometimes, and then the sun shines brightly again. The rainbow after the rain warns people who go out: coats are indispensable during these months. The Romans believed this weather to be fickle, so our travelers were wary of rain. He wore a thick coat with a strong lining. "This man," the wind began to say, "thinks he can prevent all sudden accidents. But he didn't expect that I would try my best. I could blow him so hard that he couldn't hold a button back, and as long as I was happy, I could also blow him up. His coat blows like hell.
This is a great pastime. Are you interested in trying it out?" "Okay, let's make a bet," Taiyang replied, "Let's not give up. Let's talk nonsense. Let's see who can get the knight we saw to take off his coat first. Let's start! I'll let you block my light first.
”
Now that everything is ready, our bettor Bei Feng took in enough air. He inflated like a balloon and roared like a devil. He made a shrill cry and shouted with all his strength. It blew and brought a storm, destroying everything along the way, blowing away many roofs and sinking many ships, but it turned out that all this was just for a coat.
The knight was very careful not to let the strong wind blow. It blew into his clothes, and he got through the difficulty like this. What about the wind? It was a waste of time. The harder this one blew, the tighter the other one was wrapped. The wind only blew his collar and folds for a while. The expiration of his bet soon came to an end, when the sun drove away the clouds, and with such joy that the knight sweated under his greatcoat, and forced him to take it off, which he had not yet seen. Use all his power.
It can be seen that gentleness is better than violence
