一、画蛇添足

Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine.

One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing,so he decided to draw the feet to the snake.

However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?" The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to lt." tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

二、狐狸和乌鸦

One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. 

However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow's beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

四、刻舟求剑

A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later.

When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?

五、掩耳盗铃

Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor's doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people's attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever "idea". 

He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.

六、牛郎织女

When the world was young, the sky was as soft as silk. Magpie birds soared and never wanted to land. Only Zhinu the cloud weaver did not feel at home in the sky. She watched the people far below and wove clouds that reached for the ground.Zhinu and her sisters lived in the sky with their grandmother, the Queen Mother of the West. 

One night, there was a terrible storm. Zhinu looked down at a cozy farmhouse, wishing she were with the family inside. But not everyone was inside. She watched a young farmer and his old ox trying to stop the water from flooding the wheat fields. The ox stumbled and sank in the mud. The farmer gently helped her up.

He sang of the stars of the ox constellation as he led her to the barn. He was interrupted by a shrillvoice yelling from the farmhouse, “Hey lazy Niulang, sleep in the barn tonight. Your brother and I don't want mud in the house!”The next morning, Zhinu pulled on her dress made of the dawn's red clouds.

She wanted to see the farmer again.“Let's go swimming,”she suggested to her sisters.“Grandmother won't like it,” her sisters warned. But Zhinu convinced them. They grabbed their swimsuits and slid down the clouds to the ground. While the others jumped into the pond, Zhinu tiptoed to the farmer's barn.

She heard the shrill voice again. “Your brother and I have done our duty. It's time for you to go, Niulang. Your parents wanted you and your brother to split everything. So, we'll keep the farm. But you're lucky, you get the ox!”Niulang said quietly, “Okay, she's my best friend.” Zhinu peeked through the doorway. 

The ox looked older than her grandmother! The ox turned toward Zhinu. Then Zhinu thought she heard the ox say, “Moo—marry her!”Zhinu ran as fast as she could to the pond. She hung her dress over a tree branch and hid underwater. She thought of the farmer and the strange ox.

Soon, everyone was drying off and rising into the sky. But where was Zhinu's red dress? Without it, she couldn't return home with her sisters!Suddenly, Niulang appeared, carrying her dress. “Please marry me,” he said. “I promise to be a good husband.”To her surprise, Zhinu said yes. 

Perhaps it was his shining eyes, so like the night sky. She felt at home with him. But Zhinu's grandmother wanted Zhinu home—in the sky.For years, Zhinu and Niulang hid from her grandmother in their cozy farmhouse deep in the forest. Niulang would sing Zhinu to sleep with songs of the night sky. 

Zhinu would wake up Niulang by draping the trees with the colors of dawn. One night, they were awakened by angry clouds beating against the sky.The wind howled. Niulang went outside as flood waters rose higher.Once again, he tried to save the wheat. The old ox sank in the mud and couldn't get up. 

She told Niulang to always keep her hide with him. Then she died.The storm attacked. Soldiers took shape from dark clouds, grabbing, reaching. Deep in the storm, something struggled. It was like dawn on the brightest morning. It was his love, his Zhinu.

She was being dragged into the sky by her grandmother!Niulang shook out the ox's hide. He jumped on and took flight. He flew faster and faster after Zhinu. “Wait for me!” Niulang called.“Niulang, bring me home,” Zhinu cried.“No!” her grandmother yelled. She slashed the sky with her golden hairpin. 

Zhinu heard the sky ripping in two. Through the rip shone the stars of the Milky Way.On one side of the rip was Zhinu, on the other Niulang.Since that day, Zhinu and Niulang have been separated by the Milky Way. On the seventh day of the seventh month of the moon, magpie birds weave a bridge in the sky.
