In the past, on a small island, there lived a group of tortoises. It was a beautiful island with rivers and canals crisscrossing, lush grass, shady trees, and fragrant fruits. The situation was comfortable and peaceful
One day, a grouse was on a long flight and felt exhausted due to the hot weather, so it fell onto the island to rest It looks east Looking west, I found that the turtle's dwelling was very good, so I went there to rest In no time, the turtles returning from foraging in all directions were shocked to see such a beautiful grouse near their residence I saw the grouse covered in colorful feathers, shining brightly in the sunlight. They were envious of the grouse and couldn't help but love it immensely. They rushed to get close to it Expressing goodwill, hoping that the grouse can stay and live with them for a long time The turtle said to the grouse:
It seems that you must be the cutest among the birds. Don't fly away, just stay and live with us all the way, and we will be willing to serve you attentively
The grouse was delighted to see the turtles' love and care for it, and was happy to sail smoothly. It wished it could stay and not leave From then on, the grouse went around for fun during the day, and at night, it flew back to the turtle's residence to spend the night with them Over time, this lifestyle became a habit and became interdependent with each other The grouse leaves early and returns late every day, flying around the island during the day, enjoying a carefree and leisurely life. It eats whatever it likes, and at night, it is taken care of by the turtles, living a very comfortable life The turtles are even more eager for the arrival of night, because when the sky turns dark, the grouse flies back from outside, and they can see its bright and graceful posture, feeling comfortable in their hearts. When they can't see it, they feel lonely Time flies, and the turtles' attachment to the grouse is growing stronger day by day, but the grouse still flies out early and returns late In this situation, the turtles watched helplessly as the bright grouse flew away, their hearts filled with a sense of loss, and they began to discuss:
We feel very comfortable getting along with this grouse, as if it has become one of us and we can't bear to let it leave us for a while. However, it flies out every day at dawn, which makes us feel uncomfortable. So, is there any way to make it always stay with us
Don't worry, I have a good idea. It can stay with us all day and night
Do you really have a good idea? If so, we will reward you well
That evening, the grouse flew back and forth on the island for a journey After foraging, he returned to the center of the turtles as usual, leisurely chatting with them The turtle, who claimed to have a solution, approached it and said:
Dear grouse, you should have felt it. Since we met you, we have devoted all our love to you. On this island, you have brought us the sunshine of love and the joy of life, and we all feel that we cannot live without you for a moment. We rely on each other, are close and inseparable, like a family. For those who love each other, there is nothing more wonderful than spending all day rubbing their ears and temples together. Being together is like facing great disasters and difficulties. Now we feel like we are in the midst of great disasters and difficulties, and we can't extricate ourselves from the pain! Think about it, you always brighten up every day. Just leave us and fly away, never come back until sunset, leaving us lonely all day long, always with great longing, hoping that you can come back earlier
After listening to the turtle's confession, the grouse was quite moved and said, "Actually, I also love you very much. Speaking of which, during the day when I am outside, the degree of missing you is no less than that of you. Perhaps you wouldn't think that every morning I have to make a big decision to leave you. Do I not want to be comfortably with you all the way? But I have no choice, because I am a winged bird and cannot stay still with you all the time. As a bird, my nature is to fly around and I am not used to living in one place all the time. I have two wings, which means that when I am not stable, unless it is in one place, At night, due to exhaustion from foraging and flying during the day, it is necessary to rest and recharge in order to fly out for foraging the next day "

The turtle said, "You are certainly right, but as far as I know, among birds, nine out of ten are working hard and running around without finding peace. This seems too unworthy. I believe you will also have a profound understanding of this. You fly around every day, enduring the wind, rain, and sun, and the reward you receive is pitifully small compared to the effort you put in. Isn't our greatest hope in this world just to live comfortably and peacefully? Since Allah has cultivated love and friendship between us, it is destined that we will depend on each other for life and death and never be separated. However, in reality, whenever you go out to search for food, we always feel uneasy. We are concerned about your safety and praying for you, fearing that you may be captured by the enemy and die. In that case, we will never see you again
The grouse was deeply moved by the turtle's sincerity and asked, "That's right, but what insights do you have regarding my situation
The turtle said, "There is a way, my way is actually very simple. That is, you can simply pluck the feathers from your wings, so that you can stay with us steadily and comfortably. From now on, you don't have to think that you are a feathered bird and need to fly out to search for food. On this island with lush trees and abundant fruits, there is enough food for you and us to enjoy, and we can eat, live, and mourn together. Isn't it beautiful
After listening to the turtle's words, the grouse thought of flying around every day just to satisfy its hunger? Instead of working so hard, it's better to stay at home and enjoy peace and happiness! So it obeyed the turtle's advice and immediately endured great pain, pulling out all the feathers on its wings So, the grouse can no longer fly It settled down on the island, ate and drank on the island, and played and played with turtles day and night, satisfied with food, drink, and fleeting sorrow
However, the good times didn't last long. Just as the grouse and turtles were enjoying the comfortable and peaceful life they had created, a weasel mouse passed by. It used to dream of eating turkey meat, but at that time, the grouse had wings that could fly, and it could only see the distant grouse looking up at the sky and sighing But now it's different. It carefully examined the grouse and found that its wings were bare, and the feathers that could make it fly into the sky were gone The exposed body of the grouse is plump and chubby, making the weasel salivate! The weasel cleared its throat, and this was a rare opportunity. Without hesitation, it ran away and pounced on the grouse The grouse was startled when the enemy suddenly appeared, instinctively flapping its wings but unable to fly, so it sought help from the turtles But when the turtles saw this dangerous scene, they were so scared that they retreated into their shells and huddled together. Not a single turtle went to rescue their beloved grouse at this critical moment The weasel, seeing that the turtles were preoccupied with their own affairs, became even bolder in tormenting the grouse, while the turtles hid further away, just watching from the side Crying sadly, crying until death, but powerless The grouse saw all of this and was greatly disappointed, shouting at them in pain:
What's wrong with all of you? Don't you keep saying that you love me so much? So, besides crying, you should come and save me now
The turtles said, "Dear grouse, we do love you, but we really can't deal with weasels
At this point, the grouse realized in great pain and complete despair that it had no hope of salvation. It finally realized the mistake it had made. If it had not listened to the turtle and kept the feathers on its wings, living a self-sufficient life, it would not have had the fate of tomorrow! However, it's too late to say anything now, so I have to accept my fate As it was about to be taken away and eaten by a weasel, it sadly said to the turtles:
Now I know that blaming you is useless. Strictly speaking, all the sins are my own fault. I listened to your words and plucked out the feathers that I relied on for survival. Because my will was not strong and lacked long-term vision, I only pursued immediate happiness and long-lasting joy, and lost the foundation of survival. Therefore, it can be said that my life was destroyed in my own hands
King Wald finished telling the story of the grouse and turtle, and then said to the concubines:
It's useless for me to blame you now. Everything is my own fault, and it's my own fault that needs to be punished. At the same time, it should be pointed out that it was because of the temptation of these women that our ancestor Adam committed wrong and was expelled from the Garden of Eden. As the saying goes, 'Women are the root of all evil.' My mistake was to rely solely on my own foolishness and ignorance, my erroneous consciousness, and obey you in everything. In order to please you, I easily believed your slanderous words and killed the loyal prime minister, civil officials, military commanders, scholars, and warriors of the court, making me lose my support. I am the power that can turn back a dangerous situation in times of crisis. Now, I truly realize that they are the ones who genuinely treat me well. Their advice, although sometimes bitter, is like bitter medicine! But I lost them forever, and no one helped me solve my problems from then on Who among you can be as loyal and capable as them? If the wise Allah could perceive my difficult situation and send someone ignorant and ignorant A person with a strategic mind will guide me Save me, maybe I won't be completely defeated "
