Waterbirds and turtles

There is a water bird that flew out of its nest to search for food It flew back and forth in the air, sometimes soaring high in the sky, sometimes hovering high in the sky, and finally chose a rock in the river It landed on a rock, watching the flowing water, surveying the floating objects on the river surface, waiting for something to eat. It was really hungry
Just as the waterbirds were wandering and looking around on the rock, a huge creature floated over the river. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse I saw that the body had been soaked in the river water, swollen and bulging The water flowed rapidly, and the body was washed away by the river to the edge of the rock, then lay motionless The waterbird quickly jumped over happily and carefully examined the body. It turned out to be a male corpse, covered in bullet holes all over its body, with numerous knife wounds on its face and bloody flesh, looking very miserable and terrifying
The waterbird secretly pondered: This may be an unforgivable and heinous thug, always lawless and committed many evil deeds. People were outraged and, in order to eliminate violence and ensure justice, rose up in groups and threw its body into the river
The waterbird was thinking like this, flocks of vultures and herons coming from all directions Groups gathered and hovered over the corpses The waterbirds trembled in terror as they witnessed the calamity descending from the sky It realizes that if it stays here any longer, it will inevitably be overwhelmed by its own worries So, without hesitation, it flapped its wings and flew high, avoiding the distance It plans to be among those vultures The eagle ate a full meal of carrion and dispersed before flying back to its nest
The water bird flapped its wings and flew to another section of the river, landing on a towering tree as a temporary shelter This place is further away from the Bird's Nest, and there is a feeling of being away from home in my heart. It is frowning, worried, and very lonely, and then talks to itself:
Just now I found that corpse and thought I was very lucky. I couldn't help but feel so happy! Unexpectedly, unexpected disasters came from outside, and the food that came to my mouth became a delicacy for other birds. The fierce and greedy eagle was tearing up the corpse, robbing it, occupying what should have belonged to me, and forcing me to flee in panic. I was left with nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water! Joy turned into pain. In such a world, the strong prey on the weak, and truth gives way to falsehood. How can weak and hungry people live and work in peace? As the ancients said, 'The world is a house, and those who lack strategy can live and live in peace.' It is inevitable to be deceived Those foolish and stubborn people, relying on their power Wealth and wealth Old friends and family, proud and arrogant, arrogant and reckless, reckless and arrogant in the land of fish and meat, arrogant and domineering. Throughout his life, he has been managing and collecting taxes and levies, wishing to seize everything in the world for himself. He is hated by the world until his eyes close He stretched out both feet before his relatives buried him deep in the soil In fact, everything he has accumulated throughout his life is something outside of him, and nothing can be taken away Alas, the end of a lifetime is nothing more than this For young people, everything in the world is bumpy All grievances and grudges are best endured patiently, Of course, stay away from family Relatives and friends, it is really embarrassing and painful. Due to the harsh situation, I had to leave my hometown and face treachery and misfortune, which is also necessary "
Waterbirds inhabit trees as a refuge, sighing alone on the trees At this moment, a turtle waded ashore and slowly climbed under the tree, greeting the waterfowl Greetings to it Talk to it and say:
You, a distinguished guest, are truly a rare guest. Why did you fly here from such a long distance
The waterbird said, "My hometown is surrounded by enemy birds, with smoke and dust, and chickens and dogs jumping around. Anyone who sees a high and far sighted person would not want to live with violence." (The Arab proverb goes, "If you want to move, find a good neighbor first." The same principle applies.) Therefore, I would rather retreat and stay far away from the place of right and wrong. As the saying goes, "When disaster strikes, it is best to move
The turtle said, "Since you are in a difficult time and find it difficult to return home, let me accompany you. I am willing to follow you and serve you diligently. Because the ancients said, 'The most lonely and desolate situation in the world is the experience of those who have left their homes.' The ancients also said, 'The consequences of refusing to meet honest and weak people are far greater than those of disasters.' They also said, 'A good way for wise people to seek comfort is to accept what comes their way. Socialize with strangers. I am willing to make an unbreakable friendship with you, and I hope you can humbly accept my proposal and let me be your loyal and kind friend.' Assistant

The waterbird was deeply moved by the turtle's words 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 has been no news, which has made me feel sad and depressed. However, I have also come to realize a truth from the pain of separation, which is that tragic experiences and difficult situations can not only exercise one's will and enhance one's thinking ability, but also accumulate rich experience. This is something that no money or wealth can exchange for. If young people do not receive advice and comfort from friends, they will fall into a long-term despair. They will always be sad and depressed. Smart, quick witted, and strategic people can overcome countless hardships. Listen carefully to the advice of friends, face reality with a tolerant attitude and strong patience, and thus hide one's strength and cultivate regret in adversity. Perseverance. Tolerance and patience are virtues worthy of praise, as they can help people avoid external influences Disaster caused by human error Eliminate the depression and troubles in people's hearts "
The turtle fully approves of the view of waterbirds, saying:
Since that's the case, from now on, you don't have to be depressed and worried. Because distress and worry can only damage your body, prevent you from enjoying the pleasures of life, and make you a weak willed person. You can only remain pessimistic and dull for a long time
The sweet words of the turtle comforted the waterfowl, and they both felt that although they were reunited by Pingshui, they were like old friends at first sight. They talked about everything from ancient to modern times, and the more they talked, the closer they got. Both sides reached a consensus on many things However, waterbirds still have a sense of fear towards natural and man-made disasters, and they always feel that their strength is too weak
The turtle saw the thoughts of the waterbird and comforted it further:
Your insightful insights have always been admired by birds, and you have been regarded as a role model for dealing with people. However, you do not pay attention to yourself, but instead alleviate your burden. Why bother yourself
With natural success, the turtle earnestly comforted and persuaded the water bird, dispelling its fear, calming it down, and restoring normalcy From then on, the turtle faithfully accompanied the waterfowl through their normal lives and respected each other Mutual love, life is full of sadness
Time flies quickly, and as time goes by, waterbirds become homesick and always want to fly back to their nests to take a look One day, it risked its life, carried a turtle on its back, and secretly flew back to the vicinity of its nest to listen to the news
The water bird flew to the tree near the rock and observed the surrounding movements through the leaves It saw that the vultures and eagles were gone, and the body was only a white bone stuck on the edge of the rock. The river still flowed incessantly, and the leaves swayed back and forth in the wind. A peaceful and peaceful scene appeared before its eyes
The water bird was overjoyed and flew back to the turtle with sadness and joy, informing it of everything it saw and saying to it:
Everything there has returned to normal. I want to go back to my lair and spend peaceful and happy days with my relatives and friends. Because I have been wandering outside for a long time, it is really unbearable
The turtle has become accustomed to relying on waterbirds for survival. After hearing what the waterbirds said, it couldn't believe it for a moment. It really didn't want to leave the waterbirds But when the leaves fall back to their roots, the attraction of hometown is very strong, and the emotions of waterbirds are understandable The turtle thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to go to the nest with the waterfowl to see the outside world and appreciate the scenery of a different place Thinking of this, they made an appointment with the waterbirds and came to their hometown, where everything was so fresh lovely.
The waterbird returned to its hometown, unable to suppress its joy, and warmly welcomed the turtle It said to the turtle:
In life, no one is immune to the torment of inevitable disasters and unexpected events. Some young people cannot bear the pain and sorrow brought by disasters and misfortunes, and even believe that their lives have reached the end, losing their fighting spirit and leading to depression. At the same time, when they see the clouds and sunshine dispersing, and feel that disasters and hardships have been eliminated, they become arrogant and conceited. I really cannot agree with this principle of dealing with the world, because the vicissitudes of life are endless, and a disaster has been eliminated in the past, but a new disaster will come unexpectedly tomorrow. Moreover, for weak people like me, we must be more careful at all times and places when dealing with treacherous enemies, so as not to die. Yu Feiming
The turtle repeatedly praised the waterbirds, expressing admiration and willingness to be its good neighbor and take care of each other Mutual assistance
Close neighbors are better than distant relatives. Waterbirds and turtles live together day and night, feeling a sense of security and living happily together
