Use your imagination and tell the story in a way that has a sense of scene and is consistent with the logic of life. Finally, you can come up with a little "chicken soup".

Generally, the methods of "attribution from effect to cause" and "summary induction" are used to arrive at the truth.

From the perspective of the rooster: The result - it became a meal on the plate. The reason - "The rooster crows at the fifth watch of the day" and "the world becomes white when the rooster sings". Therefore, roosters usually crow at dawn, but this chicken crows in the middle of the night, which keeps the neighbors awake all night. The truth is drawn - not doing things according to the rules, or not obeying the rules, often harms others and yourself.

From the perspective of the chicken buyer: The result is to buy the neighbor’s chicken and make it into a dish. The reason - because the rooster crows in the middle of the night, I haven't slept all night, so I adopt the "buy" method to solve the problem. The truth comes to mind—you need to pay attention to methods to solve problems.

Of course, you can also object to the chicken buyer's approach, thinking that the rooster only kept him awake all night, but for him to want the rooster's life would be making a fuss out of a molehill and he will be punished. The truth is - be tolerant.

From a personal point of view: Because "the chicken's tail feathers are slightly longer, quite like a pheasant", the walker asked "dare you catch a pheasant?" This shows that the walker has a desire to fight against injustice. When the chicken buyer told the story, the walker "laughed and said nothing".

Why "laugh but not say a word"? Laughing at the crow of a chicken, or laughing at the behavior of people who buy chickens? No matter what the meaning of the smile is, one thing is for sure, the walker doesn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. The truth is that there are often onlookers in life. They have a righteous heart, but they often ignore things that have nothing to do with them.

Example: Follow the rules and be free

The rooster in the story is pitiful, but the pitiful "chicken" must also be sad! As the saying goes: "The lights are on at the third watch and the rooster crows at the fifth watch." It means that the rooster crows at the "fifth watch", that is, at dawn. The poet Li He of the Tang Dynasty wrote "When the rooster crows, the whole world becomes white" is a clear proof. "It cries in the middle of the night", and the cry is "shouting", and the neighbors can't sleep at night. It's strange that they are upset! Some people say that this neighbor is very cruel. I don't think it's the rooster's fault for not obeying the rules of crowing, and thus suffering the consequences.

What are rules? The elders told us many rules when we were beaten. For example, "Stop when the light is red, go when the light is green", "Keep to the right when going up and down the stairs", etc. It seems that the rules are a kind of order; there are also "Stand when you stand, sit when you sit" and "Don't make loud noises in public places" Wait, it turns out that rules are a kind of education;

Later, the teacher said some famous sayings about rules: "Without rules, there is no circle", "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", etc. In fact, rules are A bottom line, a character. Countless life experiences prove that if you can abide by the rules in life, you can often gain respect from others and gain freedom. Therefore, rules are like traffic lights. On the surface they restrict traffic, but in reality they ensure traffic.

Of course, no matter how good the rules are, people must abide by them. I can't help but think of the story of Zen Master Baizhang told by Liang Qichao in "Dedication and Happy Industry": The old Zen master asked himself to "not work or eat for a day" and work every day until he was eighty years old. Some disciples thought that he was old and secretly took care of all his affairs.

But Zen Master Baizhang firmly refused: "If you don't let me do it, I won't eat it." Although the story is a bit extreme, it explains the problem very well. In the view of Zen Master Baizhang, "a day without doing anything and a day without eating" is a rule. Once it is established, it must be followed unconditionally. It seems that the key is to keep the rules.

In fact, abiding by the rules means keeping one's heart. The human heart is like a floating catkin, always flowing with the wind, seemingly free and unrestrained, and the rules are like using external power to replace the floating catkin with a diamond core. As long as you stick to it, the wind can't blow it away or the rain can't beat it. In the end, you can control yourself. This is true freedom.

This is how we behave and behave.

This is probably the sad part about being the rooster on your plate! If it crows according to the hour, what can it do even if it has a neighbor with a heart like a jackal?
