　　1：Ant and grasshopper

　　On a cold, frosty day an ant was dragging out some of the corn which he had laid up in the summertime, to dry it. A grasshopper, half perished with hunger, besought the ant to give him a morsel of to preserve his life. "

　　What were you doing," said the ant, "this last summer?" "Oh," said the grasshopper, "I was not idle. I kept singing all the summer long." said the ant, laughing and shutting up his granary. "Since you could sing all summer, you may dance all winter."

　　Winter finds out what summer lays by.

　　2:The Taoist in Mount Lao

　　A long time ago, there was a young man called Wang Qi. When he heard that there were manyimmortals in Mount Lao, he went there at once.

　　There was a Daoist who still looked young although he was very old. Wang Qi became one his pupils. During the first month, Wang Qi went to the hills for woods with others every day and listened to the instructions of his teacher patiently.

　　In the second month, he felt that he could not stand the hard and tiring life, but he still waited for the teacher to teach him the magical skills. In the third month, he could not bear the suffering any longer.

　　He went to see his teacher and said, " I've been working hard for so many days. Now would you please teach me some skills, or it'll be a waste of time for me to be here."

　　"What do you want to learn?"

　　"Whatever."

　　"Then I'll teach you how to go through a wall." Then the Daoist told Wang Qi the incantations. After reciting the incantations of the magic, Wang Qi made it. With great pleasure, Wang Qi said goodbye to his teacher and went back home.

　　Back at home, he told his family and neighbors that he had met with an immortal and learned how to go through a wall magically, but no one believed in him. So Wang Qi recited the incantations and ran towards a wall to prove his point.

　　However, his head hit wall with a "Bang", and he was knocked heavily. His wife helped him to his feet and found that there was a largebump on his forehead.

　　The story means that, speculation and claptrap will only lead to failure.
