dung beetle

The emperor's horse was nailed with golden claws, one on each hoof.
Why did it get the Golden Horse Palm?
It is the most beautiful plant, with beautiful legs, sharp eyes, and a mane hanging around its neck like a veil. It once carried its owner and galloped through the rain of bullets, hearing the roar of bullets. When the enemy approached, it bit with its mouth and kicked the surrounding enemies with its legs, participating in the battle. It carried its own emperor and leaped over the fallen enemy's horse, rescuing its own emperor's red golden crown and saving his life, which was even more important than the golden crown. Therefore, the emperor's horse had golden palms, one on each hoof.
The dung beetle crawled forward.
Give the big nails first, then the small nails, "it said," but it's not a matter of size. "So it stretched out its thin and slender legs.
What are you going to do? "The blacksmith asked.
Golden Palm! "The dung beetle replied.
You must be confused! "Said the blacksmith." Do you also want a golden palm? "" A golden palm! "Said the dung beetle." Am I not as genuine as that big beast? Someone takes care of it, cleans it, serves it, feeds it, feeds it. Am I also from the Emperor's stable
But how did that horse get the Golden Palm? "The blacksmith asked." Don't you know
Clear? I understand, this is contempt for me, "said the dung beetle." This is a form of bullying - now, that's why I'm running away into the big world
Go ahead! "Said the blacksmith.
Rough guy! "Said the dung beetle. Afterwards, he walked out. After flying for a short distance, it arrived at a lovely little garden where the fragrance of roses and lavender wafted.
Isn't this place very beautiful? "Said a ladybird. The little ladybug flapped its sturdy, spotted red wings like shields, flying back and forth. The smell here is so sweet and vibrant
I'm used to living in better places, "said the dung beetle." Do you think it's bright here? There's not even a pile of feces here
So it continued to climb forward and crawled into the shade of a large clump of violets. There is a caterpillar crawling on the violet.
The world is so bright! "Said the caterpillar." The sun is warm! Everything is so beautiful! One day, if I fall asleep and die as people say, then when I wake up, I will become a butterfly
I'm sorry you can think of it! "Said the dung beetle." Now we're flying like butterflies! I'm from the stable of the emperor. But there, even the precious pet horse with the golden paw that I don't want nailed to its hooves doesn't have such a wild idea. Give it wings! Fly! Yeah, we're flying now! "Then the dung beetle flew up. I don't want to be angry, but I'm still angry
Afterwards, it fell onto a large piece of grass. It lay here for a while and then fell asleep.
Oh my god! What an urgent rain! The sound of raindrops woke up the dung beetle, and it immediately wanted to burrow into the ground, but it couldn't.
It flipped over and swam with its belly down and up again. Flying is something that cannot even be imagined, it seems that it cannot escape from this grassland in the world. He simply lay down where it was lying, just like that.
Afterwards, the rain decreased a bit. The dung beetle blinked and shook off the rain covering his eyes. It vaguely saw something slightly white, which was a bed sheet that someone had prepared to bleach. It crawled there, into a fold of the wet bed sheet. This really doesn't feel like lying in the warm manure pile in the stable. But there is no more comfortable place here now. So it stayed here for a day, and another night, the rain still kept falling. Early in the morning, the dung beetle crawled out, extremely annoyed by the weather.

There are two frogs on the bed sheet, their bright eyes shining with joy. The weather is really pleasant! "Said a frog. How fresh! The sheets are filled with so much water! My hind legs itch a bit, as if I'm about to swim. "" I really don't know, "said the other," has the flying swallow ever found a place with better weather than our country during its travels abroad. Misty drizzle, humid air! It's like you're lying in a damp ditch! If someone doesn't like this, then he's really unpatriotic So you've never been to the stables of the emperor, have you? "Asked the dung beetle. The dampness inside is warm and flavorful! I'm used to that climate, that's my weather, but I can't take it out with me. Isn't there a decent person like me in this garden who can climb out and feel comfortable
However, if the frog doesn't understand what it says, it probably doesn't want to understand.
I never ask twice, "said the dung beetle when he said it for the third time without getting an answer.
So it crawled forward again and arrived at a broken flower pot piece. It shouldn't be in this place, but since it's already here, it has become a place to hide. There are several earwigs living here. They don't require much living space, they only require everyone to squeeze together along the way. Females are particularly maternal, so each of their children is the most beautiful and intelligent.
Our son is engaged, "said a mother." My lovely, innocent, and lively little baby! His highest wish is to one day climb into the ear of a pastor. He is very lovely and innocent, and being engaged will constrain him; being a mother is very happy
Our son, "said the other mother," started playing as soon as he came out of the eggshell. He was so full of energy that he lost all the whiskers on his head. Moms are so happy! Isn't he, Mr. Dungeon? "They recognized him by his appearance.
Both of you are right, "said the dung beetle. Then it was invited into the house, deep enough to crawl under the broken pot.
Now you should also take a look at my little earwigs, "said the third and fourth mothers." They are really the cutest children, very interesting! They are never mischievous unless they have stomach pain. But for these children, stomach pain is a common occurrence
Then, one mother after another talked about their children. The children also participated in the discussion and used their tail claws to stroke the whiskers on the dung beetle's mouth. They always have to touch everything, these little rascals! "Several mothers said, showing deep maternal love. But the dung beetle found it too boring, so it asked if it was far away from the manure pile.
That's really far away, on the other side of the ditch, "the earwig said." So far away, I really hope no one of my children will run over there, otherwise I won't be able to survive
It's so far, I want to try climbing to that far place, "said the dung beetle, walking away without even saying goodbye. Treating women like this is truly dignified.
Beside the ditch, it encountered several things of its own kind, all of which were dung beetles.
We live here, "they said. We had a peaceful time! We warmly welcome you to our fertile place! The journey must have exhausted you
Yes, "said the dung beetle. I have slept in bed sheets on rainy days, and the cleanliness greatly consumed my physical energy. Staying in the convective wind under a broken flower pot made my wing bones cold. Being able to touch my own kind is really comfortable for me
You probably came from a manure pile, "the oldest one asked. We still need to pay attention, "said the dung beetle.
I came from the stables of the emperor, where I was born with golden palms on my feet. I came out with a secret mission this time, and you don't need to inquire about it from me. I won't tell you
So the dung beetle crawled onto the compost and mud. There are three young dung beetle ladies there, they are secretly laughing because they don't know what to say. They are not yet engaged, "said the mother. So they secretly smiled again, but this time it was because of embarrassment.
In the stables of the emperor, I have never seen a more beautiful lady than them, "said the dung beetle guest.
Don't spoil my daughter and son! Please don't speak to them, if your intentions are not sincere; of course, your intentions are sincere, and I really wish them well
Amazing! "The other dung beetles shouted, and then this dung beetle got engaged. First got engaged, then got married. You know, there's nothing to wait for.
On the first day after getting married, life went very well. The next day passed leisurely. But on the third day, it had to consider the issue of feeding its wife and even children.
I let this unexpected thing entangle me, "it said," so I also want to surprise them
It really did that. It's gone; It's been gone all day, all night—— My wife has become a living widow. The other dung beetles said that the ones they took in at home were truly wandering wanderers, and their wives became a burden to them.
So she can still be her girl, "said the mother," and my daughter. Damn it, that big thug who abandoned her
And it continued its journey, riding a cabbage leaf across the ditch. At dawn, two people arrived.
They saw the dung beetle, picked it up, turned it over and went back to the past. Both of them are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, especially that boy. Allah saw a black dung beetle on the black stone of Blackrock Mountain! Isn't that what is written in the Quran? "He asked, translating the dung beetle's name into Latin and explaining its genus and attributes. The older and more knowledgeable person objected to bringing it home, as they already had the same good specimen at home, he said. That's not polite enough, this dung beetle said that. Then it flew away from his hand for a considerable distance. Its wings have dried up, it flew to the greenhouse. Because one of the windows was open, it easily slipped out and crawled into fresh manure.
This place is really comfortable, "it said.
Soon it fell asleep and dreamed that the emperor's horse hooves were broken. The dung beetle obtained its golden paw and was promised two more. This is really satisfying! When the poop shell man woke up, it crawled out and looked up. How beautiful it is in the greenhouse! The huge palm leaves are relaxing high up, and the sunlight makes them transparent. Under the palm tree is a lush green, dotted with flowers, red fiery red, yellow tiger spirit, and white as snow.
This is truly a magnificent scenery of plants. When they rot, the taste will surely be incredibly delicious! "Said the dung beetle. This is a wonderful dining room. There must be our tribe living here. I want to look for them and see if I can find some people I can socialize with. I am very proud, this is my pride! "So it walked away, thinking of the dead horse and the golden palm it had obtained.
At this moment, one hand grabbed the dung beetle and it was pinched, turned over by the hand, and spun a few more times.
The gardener's youngest son and a companion were in the greenhouse when they saw this dung beetle and were very interested in it. It was placed in a grape leaf and packed into a warm pocket. It struggled and fumbled in its pocket. So the child pressed down on it with one hand and slowly ran towards a small lake at the head of the garden. This dung beetle was put into an old pair of broken wooden shoes here. A wooden tag firmly inserted into the shoe is considered a mast, and the dung beetle is tied to the tag with a piece of yarn. So it became the captain and was about to set sail.
That is a large lake, and the dung beetle believes that it is the ocean of the world. It was so scared that it lifted its belly up and kicked its feet wildly in the air.
The wooden shoes drifted away, and the water on the lake was flowing, so the boat drifted a little further away. A little boy immediately rolled up his pants and went into the water to grab the boat. But just as it was drifting away again, someone was calling out to the child, shouting seriously. The child hurriedly walked away, leaving the wooden shoes behind. The wooden shoes gradually drifted away from the land, the farther they drifted. These dung beetles are really scary. Flying, it's not allowed. It's tied to the mast.
A fly flew over to look at it.
Our weather is really nice, "said the fly. I can take a break here! I can grill the sun here.
Very comfortable
Why are you saying all these brainless things! Didn't you see that I'm tied up
I wasn't tied up, "said the fly, and then flew away.
Now I have seen the world, "said the dung beetle. Career is very interesting, but what's the use of not being appreciated. The world is not worthy of browsing it, otherwise it would be in the stables of the emperor, waiting for the emperor's beloved horse to reach out and nail its golden paw on me. If I get the Golden Palm, then I will be a blessing for the stable. Now that the stable has lost me, the world will also lose me, everything is over
But not everything is over. A boat has arrived with several young girls on board.
There's a wooden shoe floating over there, "said a girl.
There's a small bug tied up on top, "said another.
They arrived at the side of the wooden shoes and picked them up. A girl took out a pair of scissors and carefully cut the yarn without harming the dung beetle. After returning to the shore, they placed it on the grass.
Climb, climb, fly, if you can! "She said. Freedom is a good thing
The dung beetle flew into a small building from an open window. Inside, exhausted, it fell onto the soft long mane of the emperor's beloved horse standing in the stable, where the horse and dung beetle's home were. It firmly grasped the horse's mane, sat for a while, and took a breath. Look at me riding on the favored horse of the emperor! Like a knight! How did I come here! Yes, now I understand! This is a good idea, very correct. Why did this horse get the Golden Palm? He, the blacksmith, also asked me this question. Now I see! It's because of me that this horse got the Golden Palm
The dung beetle finally became happy.
Travel clears one's mind, "it said.
The sun shines on it, shining beautifully. The world is not that bad, "said the dung beetle," but you must know how to deal with it! "The world is beautiful because the emperor's beloved horse has a golden paw, and the dung beetle wants to become its knight.
Now I'm going to climb down and find other dung beetles, and tell them how much people have done for me. I'm going to inform them of the many pleasures I've gained from traveling abroad. I'm going to say, I'm going to stay at home until the horse polishes its golden paws
