Water birds and turtles

There was a water bird that flew out of the nest to forage outside. It flew up and down in the air, suddenly soaring high in the sky, suddenly circling low in the sky, and finally picked a rock in the river. It landed on the rock, watched the flowing water down the river, watched the floating objects on the river, and waited for something to eat. It was so hungry.

Just as the water bird was wandering on the rock and watching, a behemoth floated over the river. It took a closer look and saw that it was a corpse. The corpse was swollen and bulging by the river water. The current was fast, and the corpse was washed by the river to the edge of the rock, so it stopped moving. The water bird jumped over quickly and cheerfully, and carefully checked the corpse. It turned out that it was a male corpse, covered with bullet holes all over his body, his face was covered with knife marks, and his flesh was blurred. Its appearance was very tragic and terrifying.

The waterfowl thought to himself: This may be a heinous villain, who has always been lawless and committed many evils. People were outraged, and in order to eliminate violence and peace, they gathered together to get rid of him, and threw his body into the river.

The water bird was thinking this, and flocks of vultures and goshawks came from all directions. Flocks came in groups and circled over the corpse. The water bird was shocked to see the disaster coming from the sky. It realized that if it stayed here any longer, it would not be able to protect itself. So, without hesitation, it flapped its wings and flew high to avoid it. It planned to be in the flock of vultures. After the goshawk ate a meal of carrion and dispersed, it flew back to the nest.

The waterfowl fluttered its wings and flew to another section of the river basin, and landed on a big tree as a temporary shelter. It was farther away from the bird's nest, and there was a feeling of being away from its hometown. It was frowning, worried, and very lonely, so it said to itself:

"When I found the corpse just now, I thought I was very lucky, not to mention how happy I was! Unexpectedly, it backfired, and disaster came from outside the sky, and the food that came to my mouth became the delicacy of other birds. The ferocious and greedy eagle was tearing up the corpse and looting. It took over what was supposed to belong to me, and forced me to flee, and I was left with nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water! Joy turned into pain. In such a world, the weak eat the strong, and truth gives way to error. Weak without wind. How can those who are hungry live and work in peace and contentment. Comfortable? The ancients said it well: 'The world is a house, and those who lack strategy will inevitably be deceived. Those who are foolish, rely on power. Wealth. Relatives and friends are old, arrogant and arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, rushing straight into everything, in the fish and meat village, they are invincible, and their life's management and accumulation are rampant and violent. They can't wait to seize everything in the world for themselves, and they are resented by the world until they close their eyes. With a stretch of their feet, they let their relatives bury him deep in the ground. In fact, everything he has collected in his life is outside his body, and nothing can be taken away. Alas, the ending of life is nothing more than that at best. For young people, all the ups and downs in the world. All grievances are best endured patiently., of course, away from family. Relatives and friends, it is really embarrassing and painful, but forced by the harsh environment, I had to leave my hometown and face danger and misfortune, which is also necessary. "

The water bird is perched in the tree, and the right is a place of refuge. It sighs in the tree alone. At this time, a turtle, wading up to the shore, slowly climbed under the tree and greeted the water bird. Greet it. Talk to it and say to it:

"You, a distinguished guest, are really a rarity. Why did you fly here from so far?"

The water bird said: "In my hometown, the enemy birds are overwhelmed by the border, the smoke is miasma, and the chickens and dogs are restless. Anyone who sees a high degree of knowledge and distance is unwilling to be a neighbor with rape (the Arab folk saying:" If you want to move, first find a good neighbor ", the truth is the same.), for this reason, I would rather retreat. Stay away from the land of right and wrong. As the saying goes: 'When disaster is imminent, migration is the best policy.,"

The tortoise said, "Since you are in a time of trouble, and it is difficult to return home, then let me accompany you, I will follow you willingly. Serve you diligently. Because the ancients said: 'The most lonely and lonely situation in the world is the experience of those who have left their homes., the ancients also said:' The consequences of refusing to get acquainted with the incorruptible and weak are far more than the consequences of suffering from disasters., also, said: 'A good way for a wise man to seek comfort is to accept the past. Socialize with strangers., I am willing to make friends with you, I hope you will condescend to accept my proposal, and let me be your faithful assistant! "

When the water bird heard the tortoise's words, he was quite moved and said, "Your words are very reasonable. Since I left my old nest, I have cut off contact with my relatives and friends in my hometown, and there is no news. I am ready to taste the taste of departure, and my heart has always been sad and melancholy. However, I also learned a truth from the pain of parting, that is, tragic encounters and difficult circumstances can not only exercise people's will and enhance people's thinking ability, but also make people accumulate rich experience. And this is something that no money and wealth can exchange. If young people do not get the persuasion and comfort of friends, they will fall into long-term despair. A situation of eternal sadness. Smart and astute. A person with a strategic mind can carefully listen to the consolation of friends and use a tolerant attitude in the midst of all calamities. Strong patience to face reality, so as to hide light and recuperate in adversity. Self-improvement. Tolerance and patience are virtues worthy of praise, because they can help people avoid external natural and man-made disasters. Eliminate people's inner melancholy and troubles. "

The tortoise fully agreed with the waterfowl, saying:

"That being the case, from now on, you don't have to be depressed and troubled. For distress and sorrow can only damage your body, prevent you from enjoying the joys of life, and make you a weak-willed person, and you can only be pessimistic and dull for a long time."

The tortoise's heartfelt words made the water birds feel relieved. They both felt that although they met by chance, they hit it off at first sight. They talked about everything from ancient to modern, and the more they talked, the closer they got, the two sides reached a consensus on many things. However, the water bird still has a fear of natural and man-made disasters, and it always feels that its strength is too weak.

The tortoise saw what was on the waterbird's mind and further comforted it:

"Your insight has always been admired by the flock of birds, and you have been used as a model for dealing with the world. But you don't value yourself, but you burden yourself. Why bother asking for trouble?"

When the work was done naturally, the tortoise worked hard to comfort and persuade, and finally persuaded the waterbird, eliminated the fear in its heart, made it quiet down, and returned to normal. Since then, the tortoise has faithfully accompanied the waterbird to live a normal life together, respecting each other. Love each other, life is full of joy.

Time flies fast, and the days are long. The waterbird is homesick and always wants to fly back to the nest to have a look. One day, it risked its life, carrying a tortoise, and secretly flew back to the vicinity of the nest to inquire about the news.

The waterfowl flew to the tree near the rock and watched the movement around it through the leaves. It saw that the vultures and goshawks were gone, and only a white bone was left of the corpse stuck on the edge of the rock. The river was still rushing, and the leaves were swaying in the wind, showing a scene of peace and tranquility.

The water bird was very happy, and flew back to the tortoise happily, told it everything he saw, and said to it:

"Everything there has returned to normal, and I'm going back to my lair to live in peace and happiness with my relatives and friends, because being away for a long time is unbearable."

The tortoise has been accustomed to relying on the waterfowl for life. After listening to the waterfowl's words, he didn't want to believe it was true for a while. It really didn't want to leave the waterfowl. However, the attraction of the hometown is very strong, and the mood of the waterfowl is understandable. The tortoise thought about it, it would be better to go to the nest with the waterfowl, so that he can see the outside world and enjoy the scenery in a different place. Thinking of this, he made an appointment with the waterfowl, and both came to the hometown of the waterfowl, and saw that everything there was so fresh. Lovely.

When the water bird returned to its hometown, it could not restrain its inner joy, and entertained the tortoise very thoughtfully. It said to the tortoise:

"In life, no one is immune to the torment of inevitable disasters and unexpected events. The blow, some young people can't bear the pain and sorrow caused by disasters and misfortunes, and think that life has come to an end, so they lose their fighting spirit and sink. At the same time, when they see the clouds clear. When the sun shines, they feel that the disaster and hardship have been lifted, and they get carried away and complacent. Get carried away. I really can't agree with this principle of life, because the vicissitudes of life in the world are endless, one kind of disaster has been eliminated today, and tomorrow, there will be a new disaster unexpectedly. What's more, weak people like me must be vigilant against ferocious enemies anytime, anywhere, so as not to die. "

The tortoise repeatedly said yes to the waterfowl, and admired it, expressing its willingness to be its good neighbors and take care of each other. Help each other.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Waterbirds and turtles are adjacent to each other day and night. They both feel a sense of security and live happily together.
