拨苗助长

从前，有个农夫，种了稻苗后，便希望能早早收成。

每天他到稻田时，发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。

他等得不耐烦，心想：

“怎么样才能使稻苗长得高，长很快呢?

想了又想，他终了想到一个“最佳方法”，就是将稻苗拨高几分。

经过一番辛劳后，他满意地扛锄头回家休息。

心想：

明天稻苗长得一定更高了。

隔天早晨．一早起身，他迫不及待地起去稻田看他的“成果”。

哪知，他跑到稻田时，却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。

漂亮的结婚礼物

我们参加了一个熟人的儿子的婚礼。

由于我们都不认识那个年轻人和他的新娘，所以我们决定送给他们一个实用的全家礼----一个灭火器。

很明显，这对新人大批量制作了他们的感谢信，因为我们收到了一张卡片，上面写着：

“非常感谢您的漂亮的结婚礼物，我们期待着不久就用到它。

有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。

他每天走去看看他的宝藏。

有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。

守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。

有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后，说道：

“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。

去拿一块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。

这样与你拥有真正的金块效果没什么不同。

依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。

”

这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。
