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。
