Fable: "The Greedy Wolf", the story is short, but it contains enlightening wisdom. After reading this story, I understood that indulging in a comfortable life will bring disaster to a person.
This fable is an Indian fable. It is said that an elephant died next to the Ganges, just spotted by a wolf who came out to forage, and the wolf was very excited and thought he could have a full meal.
However, when the wolf ran to the elephant and bit the elephant's nose hard, he found that he could not bite at all, as if he was biting on a hardwood, and the wolf was furious: "How is this ghost thing so hard, I can't bite it!" ”
After that, the wolf bit the elephant's ears and strong body, but it still couldn't bite. In this way, the wolf almost bit the elephant's body, and there was still no place to bite. The wolf cried out in pain, "Oh my God, my stomach is grumbling with hunger, but I can't bite with the delicacy, how can this be good?" ”
In desperation, the wolf decided to try again on the elephant's butt, but if he couldn't do it, he would go to the other forage for food. As a result, it was pleasantly surprised to find that the elephant's butt was very soft, like a living lamb, and it was soft and delicious to bite. The wolf said happily to himself, "It seems that God is still good to me, and finally found a place to eat, starting from here, you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat!" ”
Then the gluttonous wolf began to eat, from the elephant's butt all the way to the inside of the elephant's belly. After eating a few bites of the elephant's internal organs and drinking a few beautiful sips of the elephant's blood, the wolf did not rush out, but fell asleep. It turned out that this wolf was so greedy that when it wanted to come, the elephant had food, drink and shelter in its stomach, and there was no need to rush out to forage again.
However, what the wolf never expected was that the elephant's body gradually began to shrink because it had been left for a long time, especially the elephant's butt had begun to shrink and become smaller and smaller, which made it more and more difficult to enter the air.
Finally, when the wolf woke up from sleep, not only did he find that the elephant's stomach was pitch black, but even breathing became difficult, because less and less air was being imported from outside. In fact, as early as when the wolf came in, the flesh in the elephant's stomach should begin to harden, and the elephant blood was very rare, but because the wolf was in a comfortable environment where he could eat, sleep and live, so that he neglected these crises, until the crisis became a disaster, and even breathing became difficult, the wolf was alerted to the fact that things were not good.
The wolf was very frightened, constantly tossing and turning in the elephant's stomach, bumping and kicking, trying to find an escape, but unable to do so. Fortunately, the wolf's life should not be killed, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily, the elephant's body was soaked by the rain, the whole body was swollen, the butt became soft again, penetrated into a little glimmer, which made the wolf see hope, it used all the strength to suckle, desperately drilled out. However, because of too much force, the hair on the wolf's body was worn off a lot.
After escaping, the wolf immediately ran to the ganges to wash it, and from the reflection in the river, it found itself in a terrible state, and could not help but sigh: "Alas, they all blame me for being too greedy and indulging in comfort, so that I have endured such a disaster." ”
In real life, many people are like the wolves in the above fables, once indulged in a comfortable environment, it is easy to lose themselves, lose their fighting spirit, and lose rational judgment and witty response, and when the crisis comes, they are indifferent, so that the crisis turns into a disaster.
Greed is often accompanied by laziness and laziness, and often accompanies ease and pleasure. When you indulge in comfort, your steps will begin to deviate until you make irreparable mistakes or a great disaster. Therefore, we can enjoy life to the fullest, but we must not indulge in comfort.
