从前，有个贵族的家里住着一些门客。一天，主人祭祀过祖宗以后，把一壶祭祀用的酒赏给门客们。有个门客说道：“这壶酒大家都来喝怕是不够，不如我们各自在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好，谁就喝这壶酒。”大家都同意这个提议。有个人很想赢，他很快就把蛇画好了，刚想告诉大家自己赢了时，却发现其他人都还在紧张地作画。他满心骄傲，心想：“我画的蛇怎么能没有脚呢？”接着，他开始给蛇画上脚。正当他忙着画脚时，另一个人也把蛇画好了。这个人立刻抢过了酒，他说：“蛇本来就没有脚，你怎么能给它画上脚呢？”说完他就喝了起来。一开始画好蛇的那个人只能眼睁睁地看着，后悔不已。这就是今天的成语故事，它告诉我们凡事不要做过头，否则反倒会适得其反。词汇句型ancestor

“别担心，我们可以把它们搬到海边去。”愚公说。第二天，大家开始了这项艰苦的工程，他们敲开岩石，挖起土壤，又把岩石和土用篮子运到远处的渤海。就这样，一天天过去了，愚公和家人一直做着这件事，从不抱怨。一个叫“智叟”的老人见状，嘲笑愚公道：“你瞧瞧你都多大岁数了，身体也不行了，我看你连大山的一角都移不动。”愚公说：“

虽然我老了，但我有儿子啊。如果我的儿子老了，我还有孙子，子子孙孙，我们总有把山夷平的一天。”最后，天帝听说了这件事。他被愚公的精神感动了，就派他的两个儿子去帮忙。最后，两座大山真的被移走了。这个故事告诉我们，只要我们有决心，总能有解决问题的办法。词汇句型block
