You may have heard stories of bald men who froze to death due to laziness. But you may not know the story of three monkeys who, like bald men, were too lazy to settle down and froze to death on a cold winter moonlit night.
Once upon a time, the mother monkey lived alone in a cave with three little monkeys, and she was particularly doting on children, charging into the battle almost everything by herself, eager to hold the children in the palm of her hand. This has made the little monkeys develop a habit of relying on their mothers in particular, living a life of clothing to reach out and food to open their mouths. Over time, the little monkeys became lazier and lazier, and even the simplest things had to be done by their mothers themselves.
But the good times are not long. One day, their mother died, leaving three monkeys to fend for themselves. When their mothers were alive, they did not learn any survival skills, and after their mother's death, they lost their dependence, but they were still lazy, not seeking progress, and only relying on the little food their mother had accumulated to survive.
The mother left food to run out quickly. After they had finished the last bit of food, they wandered around the mountains to collect waste. Occasionally, passers-by will throw some food to tease them. They can barely fill their stomachs, but they live by charity, and after all, they are full and hungry.
Winter came, and one day they inadvertently walked out of the cave far away, and when they came back, the sky had snowed heavily, and it was getting dark, and finally they couldn't walk, so they stopped in a strange place to prepare for the night. But it was an empty pasture, without the caves and trees that the monkeys were used to. They were at a loss, so they curled up next to a large rock and hugged each other for warmth. Not far from the top of the hill, herders built a grass hut with a sheepskin coat hanging under the eaves. The three monkeys discussed stealing the sheepskin, which was a good choice for cold protection at night. But none of them wanted to go, first, for fear of being discovered by the herders, and secondly, because they were cold and hungry, none of them wanted to move. This may be the reason why they are usually spoiled and too lazy.
But in the middle of the night, the weather was getting colder and colder, and I really couldn't stand it, at this time the boss said in a commanding tone: "Old man, you are young and diligent, go and get the sheepskin", the second man said: "The old man is younger than me, he runs fast to let it go", the old man said: "You two are brothers, how can you bear to let me go, didn't your mother let you take care of me before she left?" Every monkey didn't say anything in his mouth, but in his heart he thought, "Why don't you two go, I'm not the only one who is cold." "After a long time, not a single monkey came forward. They all thought to themselves, "If you put up with it any longer, the other two monkeys will be tempted to take the sheepskin coat." As everyone knows, every monkey thinks like this. In this way, they grew colder and colder, and finally regretted it when they froze to the point of not being able to move. But by this time it was too late. The three monkeys froze to death.
Someone said: "A day of hard work can get a night's sleep, and a lifetime of hard work can get a lifetime of happiness." There is also a folk proverb: "The rat does not sleep all night, not because he does not want to sleep, but just for the ration; the rabbit jumps and jumps, not playfully, but just wants to support himself." People's life is precious in diligence, which is the so-called "diligence can make up for clumsiness, not diligent is foolish, not diligent is hungry, not hard work and nothing."
