Aesop's fables initiated the development of European fables and influenced the whole development process of European fables. The following are some Aesop's fables and their implications that I have compiled. Welcome to read!

Bats and weasels

A bat fell to the ground and was caught by a weasel, begging for mercy. The weasel refused, saying that he was born the enemy of all birds. The bat assured him that he was not a bird but a mouse, so he was released. After a while, the bat fell to the ground again and was caught by another weasel. He also begged the weasel not to eat him. The weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, so he escaped for the second time.

It is wise to make good use of the environment.

The bat fell to the ground and was taken away by the weasel. He begged for mercy. The weasel said he would never let him go. He hates birds by nature. The bat said he was a mouse, not a bird, so he let him go. Later, the bat fell again and was caught by another weasel. He begged again and again not to eat him. The weasel says he hates all mice. The bat changed his mind and said that he was a bird, not an old mouse, and was released again. In this way, the bat changed its name twice and finally survived.

This story shows that we must improvise to avoid danger.

Donkeys and grasshoppers Donkeys and grasshoppers

A donkey was very happy when he heard the cries of some grasshoppers. Eager to have the same melody charm, what kind of food is required, and they live to give them such a beautiful voice. They answered, "Dew." The donkey decided to eat only dew and soon starved to death.

When the donkey heard the grasshopper's song, it was moved by the wonderful song, and it wanted to make the same wonderful sound, so it enviously asked them what they had eaten to make such a wonderful sound. The grasshopper replied:? Eat dew. ? The donkey ate only dew and soon starved to death.

This story tells people not to expect what they don't deserve.

Wolf and Lamb Wolf and Lamb

A wolf met a lost lamb and decided not to be rough with it, but to find some excuses to prove to the lamb that the wolf had the right to eat it. He said to him, "Boy, you insulted me last year." "Really," the lamb bleated in a sad tone, "I wasn't born then." The wolf said, "You are eating in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the lamb, "I haven't tasted grass yet." The wolf said, "You drank from my well." "No," exclaimed the lamb, "I have never drunk water, because so far, my mother's milk is both food and drink for me." The wolf immediately caught him and ate him, saying, "All right! I won't skip meals, even if you refute every accusation I make. "

A tyrant always finds an excuse for his tyranny.

A lamb is drinking water by the river. When the wolf saw it, he wanted to find a justified excuse to eat him. So he ran upstream and said that the lamb stirred the river and made him unable to drink clear water. The lamb replied that he was just standing by the river drinking water, and he was downstream, so it was impossible to muddy the upstream water. The wolf saw that this plan failed and said, My father was scolded by you last year. ? The lamb said that he was not born at that time. The wolf said to him, no matter how you defend yourself, I won't let you go anyway. ?

It can be seen that it is ineffective to find any legitimate excuse for the wicked.

The traveler and his dog The traveler and his dog.

A traveler was about to leave for a trip when he saw his dog standing at the door stretching himself. He asked him sternly, "why are you standing there with your mouth open?" Everything is ready except you, so come with me at once. " The dog wagged its tail and replied, "Oh, master! I'm completely ready; I am waiting for you. "

A loafer often blames his more active friends for his delay.

Pack your bags and get ready to go alone. At this time, he saw his dog still standing at the door yawning, so he said sternly to it. Why are you still standing there yawning? Everything is ready, just waiting for you, come with me! ? The dog wagged its tail and replied, master! I'm ready. I will wait for you with a yawn. ?

This means that some people are unruly and often blame others for their mistakes.

Dogs and shadow dogs and their own shadows.

A dog, with a piece of meat in his mouth, was crossing a stream and saw his own shadow in the water. He thought it was the shadow of another dog, with a piece of meat twice as big as himself. He immediately let go of his dog and attacked another dog fiercely, trying to snatch his bigger piece from it. He lost two things: what he caught in the water, because it was a shadow; And his own, because the stream washed it away. The dog crossed the river with meat in its mouth. He saw his reflection in the water and thought it was another dog with a bigger piece of meat in his mouth. With this in mind, he decided to grab the bigger piece of meat. So he dived into the water to catch the bigger one. As a result, he didn't get two pieces of meat. The piece in the water doesn't exist. The original piece was washed away by the river.

This story is suitable for greedy people.
