守株待兔
Waiting for the Hare
从前，有一个农夫，他每天都在田地上辛勤耕作，希望能收获丰硕的庄稼。他努力耕种，照顾作物，并期盼着秋天的丰收。
Once upon a time, there was a farmer who worked hard every day in his fields, hoping to harvest abundant crops. He diligently tilled the soil, cared for the plants, and looked forward to a fruitful harvest in the fall.
有一天，农夫在田里干活时，他抬头一看，发现一只兔子正飞快地朝着田边的一棵大树跑去。结果，兔子不小心撞到了树干上，受了重伤倒在了地上。农夫感到很惊讶，因为他从未见过这样的情景。
One day, while the farmer was working in the field, he looked up and saw a hare sprinting quickly towards a large tree on the edge of his field. The hare accidentally collided with the tree trunk, was severely injured, and fell to the ground. The farmer was amazed because he had never seen anything like it.
农夫拾起那只兔子，发现它已经死了。他觉得这真是意外之喜，因为他不需要去猎捕就得到了新鲜的兔子肉。他心里想着：“如果我每天都在这棵树旁边等着，说不定还会有更多的兔子撞上来，这样我就不用再辛苦耕作了。”
The farmer picked up the hare and found it had already died. He considered this a stroke of luck because he had fresh hare meat without having to hunt for it. He thought to himself, “If I wait by this tree every day, perhaps more hares will crash into it, and I won't have to work so hard in the fields anymore.”
于是，从那天开始，农夫决定每天都坐在那棵大树旁等待。他放下手中的农活，拿着一把草席坐在树下，希望再有兔子来撞树。然而，日复一日，农夫等了很久，却再也没有看到任何一只兔子跑到树上撞死。
So, from that day on, the farmer decided to sit by the large tree every day and wait. He put down his farm tools, took a grass mat, and sat under the tree, hoping another hare would run into it. However, day after day, the farmer waited for a long time, but never saw any hare crash into the tree again.
与此同时，农夫的田地因为没人照顾，渐渐荒芜了。杂草丛生，作物也不再生长。农夫原本可以收获丰硕的庄稼，却因为自己的懒惰和不切实际的期望失去了丰收的机会。他开始后悔自己的决定，意识到自己应该继续努力耕作，而不是只依赖偶然的好运气。
Meanwhile, the farmer’s fields became increasingly neglected because he no longer tended to them. Weeds grew wild, and the crops no longer flourished. The farmer could have harvested abundant crops, but he lost the opportunity for a good harvest because of his laziness and unrealistic expectations. He began to regret his decision and realized that he should have continued to work diligently instead of relying solely on chance.
