墨守成规的海螺
Conservative conch
The shell of the conch is quite hard, and it lives without worry, because it is convinced that no one can hurt it without sticking its head out. Its friend Butterfly Fish said admiringly to it: "Spirit brother, your key is really protected very tightly. As long as you cover the outer shell, no one can hurt you. This is indeed a very beautiful structure." Conch said confidently. : "As long as I am like this, there will be no distress."
海螺的壳相当坚硬,它生活得无忧无虑,因为它深信只要不把头伸出来就无人伤害得了它。它的好友蝶鱼羡慕地对它说:“螺兄,你的要害实在保护得相当严密,只要盖上外壳,谁也无法伤到你,这的确是十分美妙的构造。”海螺很自信地说:“只要我这样,就不会有任何苦恼。”
At this point, suddenly a "beep" sound was heard, and the conch immediately closed the outer shell: "What kind of sound is it? Is it a hook? It used to be such a thing before, never be careless. Maybe, the butterfly fish has been caught, I don’t know how it is now? Fortunately, I can live safely, thank you for my hard shell!"
此时,突然传下来一声“叮”的声音,海螺立即紧闭外壳:“到底是什么声音呢?难道是鱼钩吗?以前曾经有过这种事情,千万不可大意。也许,蝶鱼已经被捉走了,不晓得它现在如何了?幸好,我还能平安地活着,真该感谢我这坚硬的外壳啊!”
After a period of time, Conch thought: "Now open the shell, it should be no problem!" So he put his head out and looked around, but felt that the surrounding environment was quite strange. Take a closer look, the original "50 yuan" brand has been placed on the stalls in the seafood store.
经过一段时间,海螺心想:“现在打开外壳,应该没问题了吧!”于是就把头伸出来,看看四周,可是觉得周遭的环境相当陌生。仔细一看,原来自己身上已贴着“50元”的牌子,被摆在海鲜店的摊位上。
This story tells us that life is impermanent, there is no thing that will never change, and if we keep a fixed concept, we will never be able to break through ourselves and become perfect. We should make a corner of our mind to accept the opinions of our friends.
这个故事告诉我们,人生无常,没有永远不变的事物,守着固定的观念,则永远无法突破自我,臻至完美。我们应该腾出头脑的一角,用以接纳朋友的意见。
