two morals

家裡一堆一堆的CD-R,很多以前電腦的備份,很礙地方。兩個解決方案:剪爛丟掉或,抄進DVD-R再剪爛丟掉(當然不是剪爛DVD-R)。跟據非正式統計,在這種「清理」的行動下總會發現一些有趣的東西(也有不見得光的東西,例如新婚搬家時找到舊情人的情信等)。今次找到的是這兩個:


A turkey was chatting with a bull.

"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there for long.


A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
"nothing all day long?"
The crow answered, "Of course!"
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, pounced on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: If you want to sit and do nothing all day, you must sit very high...
