Rice goes up the mountain

 


Rice goes up the mountain

 

Hunter Chu Sanxing and wise man Agudengba stopped at the edge of the cliff.

They were very thirsty while walking, and saw a clear spring trickling out of a rock on the edge of the cliff. There was also a wooden barrel in front of them, which was full of water. Chu Sanxing and Agudengba opened their mouths and drank from the mountain spring.

After drinking enough, Agudengba raised the barrel and said: "We have drunk enough, spring water, please don't let it flow out anymore. It is a waste of resources!" But the spring water is still flowing and does not stop. .

Agudengba suddenly became furious and chattered beside the barrel.

When the hunter Chu Sanxing saw it, he smiled and asked: "Mr. Agudengba, you are a wise man. If you don't want to drink the spring water anymore, you can just leave. Why must the spring water stop flowing from the rock?"

Agudengba smiled: "What different changes have you seen around this cliff?"

Hunter Chu Sanxing looked around: "There's nothing special about it."

Agudengba said: There are overgrown weeds around the cliff, but rice is planted on the mountainside. What kind of invention is this? The plains are barren, and the rice goes up the mountain. Ha, the springs have dried up. Can the rice survive? I use my stupid behavior to tell people that there are people stupider than me in the world.

Agudengba sang a song "Rice Going Up the Mountain":

 

The plain fields are covered with grass,

Rice is grown on the mountainside,

The wonders of the world are so dazzling,

A foolish man's plowing is extremely stupid.

 

Spring water flows down the cliff,

Who can make it climb to the top of the mountain?

Time will never go back,

Only fools mess around.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
