According to legend, there was a kind of birds called "dais" (swallow) on the East China Sea.

　　The Yidais were slow in reaction. They could not fly very high and seemed clumsy andincapable1.

　　But when they moved about, they always moved in groups, depended on one another for survival, and flew and landed together.

　　When they advanced, no one dared to advance rashly. When they retreated, no one dared to fall behind at will. When they fed, no one dared to scramble2 to be the first. All their activities were orderly.

　　When they went into action,万 dais always acted uniformly without any disorder3. They depended upon the collective efforts to avoid any harm from the outside world.

小狮子的下场　　一头小狮子因为贪玩而远离了狮群，不幸遭遇了几只鬣狗。　　本来，小狮子这时候还有机会逃生，但由于过分自傲，他却放弃了机会。　　“我是狮子。”小狮子把胸脯拍得啪啪响。　　“不错。”领头的鬣狗说，“如果你是一只成年狮，那么你是强者，我们是弱者。而今你还是一头幼狮，你是弱者而我们是强者，大自然的生存规律就是弱肉强食。”说完，鬣狗们便扑过去把小狮子咬死吃掉了。　　其实，谁也并非天生就是强者，在还没有成为强者之前，哪怕是小狮子，为了生存，他首先要做的，还是学会保护自己。一只狼穿过一个农场，看见一片燕麦田。狼对燕麦不感兴趣，摇摇头继续往前走。后来他遇见一匹马，狼讨好地对马说：“喂，朋友，让我带你去一个地方吧。那边有一大片麦地，颗颗麦粒都硕大饱满。我特意为你留着呢，一颗都没尝过。快去吧，让我再听听你那像音乐般悦耳的咀嚼声吧。”马答道：“太感激你了，要是你自己能吃燕麦的话，你一定不肯饿着肚子听我嚼东西吧！”　　把自己不要的东西送别人，对方未必会感激你。
