"Original Story" Proud Scarecrow

Original short story

One day, the Scarecrow boasted to the farmer, "You see that I can scare away so many sparrows and birds every day without blowing so much soot, so as to reduce the loss in your rice field, shouldn't you make a good offering to me?" ”

The farmer asked, "Then how shall I make offerings?" The scarecrow said, "Replace all the straw on me with a new one." The farmer said with embarrassment, "That would cost more rice than a sparrow!" In fact, the reason why you can make the sparrow fear is because I dress you, not you. ”

"How is that possible? I am only effective by my own majesty! The Scarecrow argued. The farmer said, "If you don't believe us in an experiment, remove the bright clothes on your body and the balloon ribbons and other ornaments you hold, and then you will see the results." ”

The Scarecrow said unconvincedly, "Try it!" You're underestimating me. Then the farmer took off the ornaments and clothes from the scarecrow.

Before long, the birds saw that the "people" in the distance did not move, did not have the stimulation of bright clothes, did not make a terrible sound of whirring with their teeth and claws, and became bold, eating rice in the farmland unscrupulously. There are even two birds nesting in its belly.

The farmer walked in and chased away the birds, and asked the scarecrow, "Do you believe it this time?" ”。 The Scarecrow pondered for a long time before admitting that he was too proud. So he continued to stick to his post and guarded the farmland for a long time.
