※ 引述《kivsh (朽木兼定)》之銘言： : Teacher told us a little fable and I think it's interesting. : The story is: : There's a man selling straw hats. : One day he took a nap under a big tree. He woke up and found all his : straw hats were gone.Then he looked up and found monkeys on the tree, : each of them had a straw hat.He's eager to get his hats back so he raised : his hand and yelled at monkeys. However, monkeys didn't know what he was : talking about, and all they did is to imitated the man's movement-- : raised their hands and yelled.The man noticed this and put his hand : on his hat, then threw it down the road.The monkeys did so. : The man is happy to get all his hats back. : He went home and told the story to his grandson. : Few years ago, his grandson is also selling straw hats and walking : to the same tree for a nap. Then he got in the same condition as : his grandfather.But his grandpa's words is always in his mind. : He put his hand on the hat and threw it to the ground.However, : all the monkeys are just sitting there and watching. : At this time the monkey king came out and took the hat thrown on the : ground and said...... : There's the story my tacher show us, and she told us to think about : two things: : one is : What did the monkey king say to the grandson? : the other is :What's moral behind this story? : I think the first answer may be something like: Don't play the same : old tricks. : The second answer may be: Learning is like rowing upstream, not to : advance is to drop back.(Because the grandson just follwed his : grandfather's steps. ) : And that's the short story I share to you all. : I'd like to know what do you think about this story. : welcome to give me some feedback! well, in the original story, the monkey king said : Don't trick us, you are not the only one who has a grandfather. -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.217.110.205
