　　守株待兔 (Staying by a Stump Waiting for More Hares)

　　There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.

　　A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.

　　That day, he had a good meal.

　　From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?

　　People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.

　　在战国时代的`宋国，有一个农民，每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景，也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒，他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子，可是他太懒，胆子又特小，干什么都是又懒又怕的，总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。

　　奇迹终于发生了。一天，他正在田里干活，一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏，受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然，有一只兔子，不偏不倚，一头撞死在他田边的树根上。

　　这天，他美美地饱餐了一顿。

　　从此，他就不再种地了，一天到晚守着那个神奇的树根，等着奇迹再次出现。

　　人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。
