What we need to master most is to know our motherland, that is, to master all methods that can make our country rich and strong and people happy.

The education of the little lion

The lion, the king of the forest, has been praying for a son. One day, God finally gave it a son.

Perhaps people have long known that the habits of wild animals are very different from ours. One-year-old babies are clumsy and weak, whether they are grandchildren of the king or descendants of the people. As we all know, the one-year-old lion has left its infancy. Over the past year, the Lion King has been thinking about this question in his mind, how to make his son smart and capable, so that the honor of the royal family will not be endangered, and when his son inherits the throne, his subjects can't blame his father for his incompetence.

Then, who should I ask, entrust or even force to teach the prince how to be king?

Can I entrust the fox? The fox is really smart, but it likes telling lies. If you are with a liar, you will learn badly. The lion king thinks that lying and cheating are not the knowledge that kings should learn.

Maybe a mole is more suitable? Everyone says that Mole's home is well organized and well-behaved, and he will never go to a place without careful investigation. He must sift and grind every grain on the table himself. In a word, the mole is really smart to do these little things. It can see clearly what's under its nose. Its eyes are sharp, but can it see anything beyond a yard? Although the rules of the mole are good, they are not suitable for us. As we all know, the kingdom ruled by lions is much bigger than the mole hill.

So, why not let the leopard have a try? Leopards are brave and strong, and they also know strategies and tactics. However, leopards know nothing about politics and civil rights, how can they teach the experience of governing the country? The lion king must be a shrewd politician, a rigorous judge and a brave fighter, while the leopard is only good at fighting and should not be the teacher of the prince.

In short, the lion king thought and thought. I have considered all the wild animals in the forest, but I still haven't found a very satisfactory answer. Even elephants famous for their wisdom in the forest were not selected. In the eyes of the lion, all the wild animals in the forest are stupid.

The eagle king, who has a deep friendship with the lion king, learned of his distress and decided to help his friend. The king of birds asked to educate and train the little lion himself. The lion king finally breathed a sigh of relief and danced with joy. Isn't it a rare good thing to find a king as the prince's teacher?

Pack all new things and set off for a foreign country. Under the education and training of the king of birds, the little lion will learn the skills of rejuvenating the country and governing the country.

Two years passed quickly. When the little lion was studying, all he heard was praise, saying, "The little prince is getting smarter and smarter."

All the birds praised it with one voice, saying, "No one has made such rapid progress in learning." The little lion finally finished his studies and graduated. The lion king specially sent messengers to meet the prince. The lion king saw his long-lost son, hugged his beloved only son and kissed him, and immediately called the beast to a meeting. When everyone sat down, it said to its son:

"My dear son, when I surrender to heaven, you are our only heir, and it is up to you to prosper and govern the country. I am old, like the sunset in the west, but you have done a lot like the rising sun. I am very willing to give up the throne to you. Now I will tell you first and listen to the rich knowledge you have learned about governing the country and how you will seek happiness for your subjects. "

"Dear Dad," the little lion replied, "thank you for your cultivation. I have learned something that none of you understand. All kinds of birds in the forest, from eagle king to quail, where are their most suitable habitats, what kind of food they like best, what are their differences, and how they lay eggs and hatch. In a word, I know all the birds in the forest and their living habits like the back of my hand, and I can tell you clearly. Please have a look at the comments on my diploma! Bird, don't boast that I can reach for the stars. If my father handed me the throne and let me run this country, I would immediately teach my subjects to build a bird's nest. "

The lion king and the subjects of the animal kingdom in the forest all let out a long sigh. Members bowed their heads in shame and remained silent. The old lion king regretted that his son's knowledge was worthless, and everything he said could not give any practical benefits to all the animals in the forest. Those who are born to manage wild animals only know the living habits of birds. The most important thing for a king to master is to know his motherland, that is, to master all the methods that can make his country rich and strong and his people happy.
