So, it flew to a large open area where a cow was passing by; the cow left a pile of manure on the little bird. The frozen bird lay in that pile of manure and felt warm, gradually coming back to life. Lying there in warmth and comfort, it soon started singing. A stray cat that was passing by heard the sound and went over to see what was going on. Following the sound, the cat quickly found the bird lying in the manure pile and pulled it out to eat it. The Way to Survive 3: Not everyone who throws dung at you is your enemy. Not everyone who pulls you out of the dung pile is your friend, and also, when you’re lying in the dung pile, it’s better to keep your mouth closed. ▼ 4. There is a bottle on the seabed, and inside this bottle is a troll trapped. That was five hundred years ago, when a deity put the troll into a bottle. The troll once made a vow: whoever could retrieve this bottle, open its cork, and save him would be rewarded with a mountain of gold. Yet, five hundred years have passed, and no one has yet retrieved this bottle. The troll was very angry. He cursed and said, “From now on, if anyone saves me, I will swallow that person whole.” ”There was a young fisherman who cast his net to catch fish. When he pulled the net in, he found an old bottle inside it. He opened the bottle’s stopper, and oh! A thick plume of smoke erupted, from which slowly emerged a troll larger than a mountain. “Hahahahaha! ”The troll’s laughter caused the waves to surge. He said, “Young man, you saved me; I should thank you, but you acted too late. If you had saved me a year earlier, you could have gotten a mountain of gold!” Alas, I’ve waited for five hundred years; I’m extremely impatient. I’ve even made a curse to devour those who come to save me! ”The young man was surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Oh, such a small bottle – how could it possibly hold you? You must be lying. Go back into the bottle and show me again!” ” “Hahahahaha, I’m not going to fall for it! ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ has already told this ancient story; if I were to go back into the bottle and you sealed it again, wouldn’t the story be over then?” “What? Have you read ‘One Thousand and One Nights’? You’re truly a man of great knowledge!” Have you read any of Socrates’ philosophical works as well?” “Haha! Over these five hundred years, I have hidden inside a bottle, studying the world’s classic works with great diligence and practicing hard. Not to mention the great works of the West, I am also thoroughly familiar with the Eastern classics such as The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, and Mencius. ”“Ah, you seem to have quite in-depth knowledge of Sima Qian’s Records of the Grand Historian. Have you also studied Mozi’s works? “Stop talking – you know everything about classics, history, philosophy, and literature!” ”“However, I think you must not have seen a handwritten copy of Dream of the Red Chamber; it is a truly rare version! ”“Hahaha, you kid underestimate me too much – I’m the one who collects this book! Let me take it out to show you ”The troll immediately turned back into a cloud of smoke and slowly entered the bottle. At that moment, the young fisherman hesitated no longer and quickly plugged the bottle with its stopper.
