One young hanger-on of his wanted to dissuade him but didn't dare. He carried a slingshot， and for three consecutive2 days paced up and down in the King's back garden. The dew wetted his clothes all through.
One day， the King of Wu called him： "The dew has wetted your clothes to such a state. Why should you bear such hardship?"
The young man replied： "There is a cicada on a tree in this garden. The cicada is high above， chirping3 leisurely4 and taking in the dew freely， not knowing that a mantis5 is right behind it. The mantis， pressing its body close in a concealed6 place， is intent on catching7 the cicada， not knowing that a siskin is hiding right behind it. The siskin is stretching out its neck to peck at the mantis， not knowing that a man carrying a slingshot is under it. These three small creatures make every effort only to get the benefit before them but ignore entirely8 the disaster behind."

年青人回答说：“这个园子里，有一棵树，树上有一只蝉。蝉高高在上，悠闲地叫着，自由自在地吸着露水，却不明白有一只蝗螂在它身后呢!蝗螂把身子紧紧地贴在隐蔽的地方，只想去捕蝉，却不明白有一只黄雀早已躲在它的身后呢!黄雀正伸长了脖子想去啄蝗螂，却不明白在它下头正有人拿着弹弓呢!这三只小生物，只是力求得到它们眼前的利益，却全不管它们身后隐伏着祸患啊!”
吴王听了年青人的话后，恍然大悟说：“你说得好啊!”

从前，有人买了一只毛色鲜艳的鹦鹉。他没有把鹦鹉关在笼子里，也没有用链条把他拴在栖木上，而让他在家里自由自在地飞来飞去。鹦鹉对此十分高兴，扑动翅膀，从一间屋子飞到另一间屋子，愉快地尖声叫着，最终停在华丽的帷幔的边上。
"你到底是谁？"从下头传来怒气冲冲的说话声，"立刻住嘴，别发出那难听的声音。"
鹦鹉看见地毯上有一只猫抬头看着他。
"我是鹦鹉。我刚到，我要使劲地吵吵。"他说。"那你就一声不响吧，"鹦鹉欢快地说，"我不明白你在这儿干什么，可我明白我的活儿。主人为了我的声音才买我，我必须得让他听到。"
不一样的人因有不一样的特点而受重视。
