"Wow, what a magical world! What a beautiful scenery!" The weasel jumped up and down happily and danced.

Looking at the happy weasel, the forest god was also very happy, so he went to check elsewhere.

But at this time, the weasel’s mind was not on the scenery. "Huh? What is that?" Weasel's eyes suddenly straightened, "Oh, clearly, there is a big fat piece of meat under the corner not far outside the forest, and it is dripping oil. I'm going to eat it right away. Fortunately, I have a pair of clairvoyance, otherwise this delicious meal would be ruined!"

After repeating this for many times, I finally felt like I was full. It huddled there and took a nap.

After running around the edge of the tank for a week, he thought to himself that this was his talent and he should come up with a solid idea. It's definitely impossible to carry it away. It also doesn't want others to help. No matter how many mice are called, they can't carry it. It thought of the trick of lifting its tail and hanging upside down, and took a sip. But with a big tank of oil, if you jump in it and you can swim, your belly will only be full. By the way, why not just jump into the oil tank, eat and drink, it's all yours.

When Wang Wang came back, the snake had returned to the house and restored its original shape. However, it anxiously said to Wang Wang in human language: "I was rude today. I scared my mother to death. Please take off the three strips from me quickly." Make some small pieces of skin, add some weeds, boil them in a pot, and let your mother drink it and it will be fine."

When he returned home and told the snake, the snake pondered for a while and said: "You have been very kind to me in the past few years, and you have helped me save my life. I always wanted to repay the favor, but I never had the chance. Now I finally can." I have done something for you. To tell you the truth, my eyes are like two night pearls.

You have also been promoted and made a fortune, so don't ask for my second eye. People must not be greedy." Wang Wan was already obsessed with his thoughts and couldn't hear it anymore. He said shamelessly: "Don't I want to be the prime minister? How can I become the prime minister if you don't give it to me? Besides, I have told the emperor about this and the official position has been given to me. If you don't give up, you can help me!" He insisted on taking out the second eye. Seeing that he had become so greedy and cruel, the snake became very angry and said, "Okay then! Go! But you have to put me in the yard before you pick it up." Wang Wang couldn't wait any longer, and without analyzing the snake's words, he agreed and put the snake in the sunny yard, then went back to the house to get the knife. , when he came out to cut out the orb, the snake's body had turned into a beam, and it gasped at him with its mouth wide open. Wang Wang was so frightened that his soul was gone. It was too late to run away, and the snake swallowed the greedy man in one bite.

Did it fall on the ground? Choose." I waved my hand: "Forget it, I don't want it anymore." The aunt looked at me blankly. : "No more, Ya, do you mean I want it? I don't care?" He said, slamming the coin on the ground and stomping on it hard. I clearly remembered the spot where the coin was trampled, so I walked there faster.

When I came to that place, there was already a circle of people there. Two men were struggling in the crowd. One had a blue eye and the other had a bloody nose. As they fought, they shouted: "I dropped this penny a few days ago. Why did you pick it up?" "You're talking nonsense, this penny." It's obviously mine, are you crazy?" "Let's find a place to reason. Go to the police station?" "Go to the police station, who is afraid of you?" "Go? Choose" "Your eyes are swollen? My nose is bleeding, you have to go to the hospital with me?" On the way home, I kept smiling bitterly. When a penny does not appreciate in value, everyone dismisses it, and sometimes it activates people's kindness; but when a penny appreciates to 10 yuan, people's kindness disappears. , and even fight for it.

The fox is a very smart guy. It often steals chickens from farmers and succeeds every time. Although farmers have thought of many ways to deal with foxes, they have no choice but to think that foxes are always hard for farmers to guard against.

Once, the fox pried open a crack in the door of the chicken coop. It got in hard and suddenly caught a fat and big rooster, which was its favorite food. Something, it ate hungrily. The fox is wise. It knows that if it eats a big belly, it will be difficult to get out through the crack in the door, and the consequences will be very serious.

Thinking of this, the fox decided to eat only half of the chicken, so that there would be no danger. After a while, the fox ate half of the chicken. It stopped. However, looking at the remaining half of the fat chicken, the fox was really unwilling to give in. The chicken was so delicious. So, it said to itself, it’s better to eat a few more mouthfuls, it doesn’t matter anyway.

After a few mouthfuls of fat, the fox was ready to return the way he came. At this time, there was a noise outside, and the fox thought to himself that it must be the owner of the chicken who came out to check, and he would go out after a while.

Time flows quietly, and there is no sound outside. The fox felt it was safe now and was ready to run away. However, it stopped as soon as it reached the door of the chicken coop. It thought, this chicken was almost finished eating, and it would be a pity to leave it behind. Let's find a way to get out after eating. So, the fox ate up the last part of the chicken in three strokes.

The fox planned to leave. When it came to the crack of the door again, it found that it could not get out. It took a lot of effort, but to no avail.

It was frightened and hit itself several times in the mouth. I thought to myself, it’s just this greedy mouth, now my life is in danger, what should I do? The fox is like an ant on a hot pot, but there is nothing that can be done.

It’s dawn. The fox stayed quietly in the chicken coop, trying to avoid being discovered by the chicken's owner. The owner of the chicken did not notice anything unusual in the chicken coop. He opened the door of the chicken coop as usual. The fox realized that the opportunity to escape had come, so he rushed out suddenly and ran away without looking back.

After returning to the cave, the fox was in shock. It thought that if the owner of the chicken found himself in the chicken coop, he would definitely be dead. This escape can be said to be a fluke, and luck is unreliable. It warned itself that it must learn from this lesson and never joke with its life again.

One day, the fox entered the chicken coop again. The method was the same as last time, and the fox caught another fat chicken. The fox warned himself not to make the same mistake as last time. It started eating the chicken and soon it had eaten half of the chicken. It knows that this is its safe limit. Beyond this limit, it will be trapped in the chicken coop like last time. Then your life will be in danger. However, the remaining half of the chicken was too attractive to it, causing it great pain. Think about it, how difficult it is to make a fox give up the chicken it loves to eat.

The fox decided to stay next to the half chicken, looking for a way to get the best of both worlds. After a long time, the fox felt that his belly was much smaller. It thought that maybe the half of the chicken eaten first had been digested. So, it decided to go to the door of the chicken coop and try it every time it took a bite. When it felt that there was no problem in going out, it took another bite. After many attempts, the fox was able to get out safely. Later, the fox felt that it was too timid to continue like this, and maybe eating the whole chicken would not cause any problems. So, it let go of its belly and ate all the remaining chicken.

When it was about to leave, it found that just like last time, it couldn't get out again. Just like last time, it slapped itself in the mouth several times, thinking in its heart that it was greedy that caused the trouble again. Maybe, this time I won't be as lucky as last time. Last time the owner of the chicken coop discovered that chickens were being eaten, he would definitely take precautions. It was anxious, but it had no choice but to wait for its fate.

The sun peeked out from the side of the mountain, and the farmer opened the door of the chicken coop. The fox thought to himself that the chance to escape had come again. So, it couldn't wait to rush outside. However, it suddenly fell into the bag prepared by the chicken owner. The chicken owner threw the bag on the ground hard. The fox felt that his internal organs were shattered, but he endured the pain and remained motionless to confuse the farmer. The farmer noticed that the fox was motionless and thought it was dead.

So, he grabbed it out of the bag and put it on the ground. The fox felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He jumped up suddenly and escaped again.

From then on, the fox did not go to the farmer's chicken coop to steal chickens for many days.

One day, the fox was so greedy that he decided to steal the chicken from the chicken coop. Before leaving, it made three promises to itself. Because it knows that it has escaped twice, but if it is trapped in the chicken coop for the third time, it may be dead. The fox skillfully entered the chicken coop and caught a fat chicken as he wished. However, no matter how the fox warned himself, he made the same mistake as before.

There is a saying: there are no more than three things. This time the fox did not continue its good luck. It fell into the hands of the chicken owner and was skinned.

The chicken owner looked at the fox's skin and said to himself: "If greed is not eliminated, no matter how smart the brain is, it will be useless."
