Lesson 6 : Use Your Strengths and Run like the Hare.  
第六课: 善加利用自己的长处,像野兔一样奔跑。




一只小老虎,第一次自己上山寻找猎物。它在不远的草丛中发现了一只野兔,赶忙跑前去。野兔受到惊吓,马上往山上奔去。小老虎心想:“这只笨野兔拼命跑上山,最后会跑得筋疲力尽,我就一定能抓到它。”于是,小老虎便在后面不停追赶野兔。可是野兔却越跑越快,最后无影无踪,消失在山上。

小老虎追了半天,又累又饿却没抓到野兔,便垂头丧气地回家。虎妈妈听了小老虎的叙述,微笑着说:“你追错方向了!野兔的前腿短,后腿长,有利于向高处奔跑。如果它从高处向低处奔跑,后腿无法使力,就会很容易栽跟斗,这样追它就容易得多了。”

我们也要像野兔一样,善加利用自己的长处,往上奔跑,飞跃困难,取得成功。

Once upon a time, a young tiger went up the mountain for its first hunting trial. It saw a hare in the bushes nearby, and ran after it quickly. Frightened by the sudden attack, the hare immediately ran uphill. Determined to catch the hare, the young tiger thought, "By running desperately up the hill, this stupid hare will eventually get itself exhausted and I will be able to catch with ease." The tiger ran after the hare closely but the hare ran even faster, and eventually disappeared in the mountain terrain.


After chasing the hare for a long distance, the young tiger was tired and hungry. It failed to catch the hare, and went home sadly. After knowing the first encounter of the young tiger, the mother tiger smiled and said, "You have chased the hare in the wrong direction! The hare, with its short front legs and long hind legs, has an advantage in running upwards. It will be easier to catch the hare downhill as it will be unable to use the power of its long hind legs, causing it to tumble easily.”  

Just like the hare, we should make good use of our strengths to improve ourselves, overcome obstacles ahead and strive towards greater success.
