從前，有個貴族的家里住著一些門客。一天，主人祭祀過祖宗以后，把一壺祭祀用的酒賞給門客們。有個門客說道：“這壺酒大家都來喝怕是不夠，不如我們各自在地上畫一條蛇，誰先畫好，誰就喝這壺酒?！贝蠹叶纪膺@個提議。有個人很想贏，他很快就把蛇畫好了，剛想告訴大家自己贏了時，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)其他人都還在緊張地作畫。他滿心驕傲，心想：“我畫的蛇怎么能沒有腳呢？”接著，他開始給蛇畫上腳。正當他忙著畫腳時，另一個人也把蛇畫好了。這個人立刻搶過了酒，他說：“蛇本來就沒有腳，你怎么能給它畫上腳呢？”說完他就喝了起來。一開始畫好蛇的那個人只能眼睜睜地看著，后悔不已。這就是今天的成語故事，它告訴我們凡事不要做過頭，否則反倒會適得其反。詞匯句型ancestor

“別擔心，我們可以把它們搬到海邊去?！庇薰f。第二天，大家開始了這項艱苦的工程，他們敲開巖石，挖起土壤，又把巖石和土用籃子運到遠處的渤海。就這樣，一天天過去了，愚公和家人一直做著這件事，從不抱怨。一個叫“智叟”的老人見狀，嘲笑愚公道：“你瞧瞧你都多大歲數(shù)了，身體也不行了，我看你連大山的一角都移不動?！庇薰f：“

雖然我老了，但我有兒子啊。如果我的兒子老了，我還有孫子，子子孫孫，我們總有把山夷平的一天?！弊詈?，天帝聽說了這件事。他被愚公的精神感動了，就派他的兩個兒子去幫忙。最后，兩座大山真的被移走了。這個故事告訴我們，只要我們有決心，總能有解決問題的辦法。詞匯句型block
