This is Lenin's favorite famous saying: the eagle sometimes flies lower than the chicken, but the chicken always flies higher than the eagle.

This sentence comes from krylov's fable.

The general idea of this fable is that after flying in the sky, the eagle landed on a low barn to rest, and then flew to another barn. A crested hen was deeply touched when she saw it. Why should eagles be respected? I can fly between grain drying rooms if I want. Let's not be fools in the future, thinking that the eagle has a nobler family than us and flies as low as a chicken.

Pigeons are disgusted with this statement, and answer: Sometimes eagles don't fly as high as chickens, but chickens never fly in the clouds! Krylov's conclusion is, "Comment on geniuses, don't look for their shortcomings, but see their advantages and be good at understanding their heights.

1, crow and fox

There is a big tree in the forest, and crows live in it. There is a hole under the tree and a fox lives in it.

One day, the crow took a piece of meat and stood on a tree to rest. The fox saw it. The fox is greedy and wants the meat from the crow's mouth. Because the crow has meat in its mouth on the branch, the fox can't get it under the tree.

The desire for meat made the fox refuse to give up easily. It rolled its eyes and said, "Dear crow, how are you?" The crow didn't answer.

The fox had to pay a smile and say, "Dear crow, how is your child?" The crow looked at the fox, but still didn't answer.

The fox wagged his tail and spoke for the third time: "Dear crow, your feathers are really beautiful. Sparrows are far behind you. You have a good voice. Everyone likes to hear you sing. Why not sing a few words? "

Crow is very proud: I have a good voice. Only you foxes like to listen to me sing, so she sings happily. Hardly had I opened my mouth when the meat fell out. The fox picked up the meat and got into the hole, leaving only the crow to "sing" there.

2. Farmers and rivers

Bankruptcy caused by the overflow of streams and small rivers is really unbearable for farmers. They went to complain about the big river, because the streams and streams flowed into it. There's a lot to report about them! Winter wheat fields were washed away, mills were washed away, livestock were drowned, and the losses were countless!

The river flows quietly and solemnly, and big cities stand on the banks. I've never heard of it playing such a prank. Therefore, rivers will definitely clean up these streams. Farmers talk to each other like this.

What was the result? When we approached Okawa, we didn't know that half the property was floating on this big river. Don't bother, the farmers just watched, then everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and went home.

When they left the river, they said, "Why should we waste time? Rivers and rivers have swallowed up our property, but we can't get any fair judgment when we complain to the river. "
