Smith is a well-known fable, which tells the story that the fox escaped from the tiger by virtue of his own intelligence. Later used to refer to bullying people by relying on their power. The sly fox used the tiger's prestige to scare others in the forest. However, cunning tactics can never change the fox's weak nature. Once the trick is poked, it will not only be besieged by wild animals, but also swallowed by the deceived tiger. The extension shows that the bad guys who bully others can be arrogant for a while, but in the end they will never have a good end. The fox pretended to be a tiger. Now people use it to mean to bully others by relying on others' strength. It also satirizes those who use other people's power to cheat. A person who uses the influence of others or the power of his position to bully others is Smith.
Second, the fable: Smith.
During the Warring States Period, when Chu was at its strongest, Chu Xuanwang was surprised to find that all northern countries were afraid of his general Zhao Xi's shirt. So he asked the minister of the DPRK: Why on earth is this? At that time, a minister named Jiang Yi told him the following story:
"Once upon a time, there was a tiger in a cave. Because he was hungry, he ran outside to look for food. When he came to a dense forest, he suddenly saw a fox walking in front of him. He thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he jumped forward and caught him effortlessly. But when it opened its mouth to eat the fox, the sly fox suddenly spoke:' Hum! Don't think that you are the king of beasts and dare to swallow me; You know, God ordered me to be king of kings, and whoever eats me will be severely punished by God. "The tiger listened to the fox with a grain of salt, but he was not surprised when he cocked his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm appearance. The arrogance of the original posture, I do not know when it has disappeared more than half. Even so, he thought to himself: I am the king of beasts, so any beast in the world will be afraid to see me. And he, it turned out, was ordered by Emperor Fengtian to rule us! At this time, the fox saw the tiger hesitate to eat, knowing that he had believed his words to some extent, so he stood up more proudly and said,' What, you don't believe what I said? Then come with me now, walk behind me and see if all the wild animals are scared out of their wits when they see me. Tiger thought it was a good idea, so he did it. So the fox swaggered ahead and the tiger followed carefully. Not long after they left, they vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were fighting for food, but when they found the tiger walking behind the fox, they couldn't help being surprised and ran away. At this moment, the fox turned to look at the tiger proudly. Seeing this situation, the tiger couldn't help but feel a little scared, but he didn't know that wild animals were afraid of themselves, and thought they were really afraid of foxes! The cunning fox succeeded, but his strength was entirely due to the tiger, so that he could threaten the animals in a favorable situation at this moment. The poor tiger was fooled and didn't even know it! Therefore, the people in the north are afraid of Zhao Xi's shirt because the king's military power is in his hands, that is to say, what they are afraid of is actually the king's power! "
