　　Sit back and wait

　　Once upon a time there was a farmer who worked hard in the fields every day.One day,while he was ploughing the fields,he heard a bumping sound. He saw a dead rabbit .He thought to himself ,"Since it is so easy to get a rabbit like that, why should I work so hard all day long"He threw his hoe away and lay by the tree everyday,dreaming for more rabbits to come.When he finally realized his foolish,he starved to death.

　　The story told us no pain ,no gain , no one can reap where one has not sown.

　　【译文】

　　守株待兔

　　从前有一个农民每天在地里辛苦劳作。一天他正在耕地时听到撞击声;他看到一只兔子躺在树旁。他捡起一看是一只肥大的兔子，他自言自语地说：“既然这么容易捡到兔子，为什么我要整天辛苦劳作呢?”他扔掉锄头，每天躺在树边，梦想有兔子来。当他最终意识到他的愚蠢返回地里时，他发现他的稻谷全死了。

　　这个故事告诉我们，我们不能等着机会和运气带来的不可预料的收获，也就是说，我们希望不劳而获。
