Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people's daily life.1these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, "plucking up a crop2(help) it grow", is based on the following story.
It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) was very anxious to help3rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about4day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea5he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired6doing this for a whole day,7he felt very happy since the crop did "grow"8(high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their9(nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often10(result) in the contrary to our intention.
Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30 the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
