Making His Mark âå»èæ±åâ
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isnât this a very foolish way to look for a sword?

To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow âæèå©é¿â
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldnât wait to check his âachievementâ, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.

Plugging Oneâs Ears While Stealing a Bell âæ©è³çéâ
Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighborâs doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other peopleâs attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever âideaâ. He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.

The Fox and the Crow âçç¸åä¹é¸¦â
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crowâs beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It âç»è添足â
Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?â The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It.â tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

The Father and His Sons 父亲与争吵的儿子们
A FATHER had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves , you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
有个父亲的儿子们常常互相争斗不休。他多次语重心长地劝说他们,尽管他苦口婆心, 仍无济于事。他认为应该用事实来教育他们,便叫儿子们去拿一捆木棒来。木棒拿来后,他 先把整捆木棒交给他们,叫他们折断。儿子们一个个竭尽了全力都无法将它折断。随后他解 开了那捆木棒,给他们每人一根。他们都毫不费力地将木棒折为两段。这时,父亲说:“孩 子们,你们要像木棒一样,团结一致,齐心协力,就不会被敌人征服;可你们互相争斗不 休,便很容易被敌人打垮。”
