10. The original and translation of Pu Songling's Mantis Catching Cicada are from Liu Xiang's On Zheng Yuan Jian.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Shou Meng of Wu prepared to attack Jingdi, which was opposed by ministers. The king of Wu was very angry and warned at the meeting of ministers: "Whoever dares to stop me from sending troops will be put to death!" " Nevertheless, some people want to stop the prince of Wu from sending troops.
A young bodyguard officer in the palace came up with a good idea: every morning, he wandered around the back garden of the palace with a slingshot and bullets, and the dew soaked his clothes and shoes for three days in a row. The king of Wu was surprised and asked, "Why is this?" The guard said, "There is a cicada in the big tree in the garden. It sings and drinks dew, but doesn't know that a mantis is approaching it. " Mantis wanted to catch cicada, but she didn't know there was a yellowbird beside her. And when the yellowbird wants to peck the mantis, how does it know that my projectile has been aimed at it? All three of them only care about immediate interests and can't see the disaster behind them. "
The king of Wu was so encouraged that he cancelled the military action. "The mantis catches the cicada, and the yellowbird is behind" reminds people not to pay attention to immediate interests without considering future troubles.
The monarch of Wu insisted on attacking Chu, but the ministers expressed their opposition. The monarch was furious and said, "whoever opposes it, I will put him to death!" " "As soon as this statement came out, the ministers of course panicked: persuasion would be fatal; If we don't stop it, this country will suffer. At this time, a small guard officer thought of a way to walk around the king's garden with a slingshot every day, which attracted the king's attention.
The king finally asked him, "What are you doing? The dew has wet the clothes and is still turning. " The guard replied, "Look, there is a cicada in the garden. It climbed to the top of the tree and sang while eating dew. It cried happily, but didn't find a mantis near it.
Mantis only wants to prey on cicadas and have a good meal, but he doesn't know that the approaching yellowbird is about to pounce on himself. How do I know that my slingshot is aimed at the yellowbird when it wants to eat mantis? These three guys, they only know the small benefits in front of them, but they can't see the hidden disasters behind them! "Hearing this, the prince felt ashamed, regretted that he only cared about small profits and ignored great disasters, and flatly suspended his plan to attack Chu.
