Story "The Ferryman with Honesty"

(Character Introduction)

The boatman is a successful and conceited young man.

The old man, a man with white eyebrows, a straw hat on his head and a pipe in his hand, with a leisurely expression, has been ferrying people at the ferry for many years.

(Narration)

When I reach this ferry after a long journey in life, I can be very proud to say that my life is successful! The seven bags on my shoulders are filled with health, beauty, agility, integrity, talent, money, and honor. (The man on the boat patted his chest, shook his head, and looked triumphant) There was only one small boat at the ferry, and an old man with a white beard sat on the bow of the boat, smoking leisurely and looking into the distance...< /p>

Boatman: (walks forward and bows deeply) Excuse me, boatman, how much does it cost to ferry across the river?

Old boatman: (Turns around, looks at Zhengxin’s luggage, his eyes stay on Zhengxin’s luggage, and slowly smiles) One price, three copper coins, guaranteeing your safe arrival!

Boatman: OK! A word is settled.

(Set the boat, the river surface was calm at first, but soon the wind and waves surged, and the boat began to bump up and down)

Old boatman: (sighed) Alas, the boat is small and heavy, guest officer You have to throw away a bag to survive the storm.

Boatman: (with a troubled expression) Which of these... is not the result of my hard work? How could I bear to throw it away?

Old Boatman: If you give up, you will take something, if you lose something, you will gain something.

The boatman gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and threw integrity into the water.

The old man was stunned for a moment, with a look of disappointment on his face.

(After a while, the sea calmed down.)

Boatman: (with a happy face) Old man, while the waves are small, rock the boat quickly!

The old boatman glanced at the boatman, stopped the oar, and sat on the bow.

Boatman: Old man, what are you doing...

Old Boatman: You can rock the boat if you want me to, but you have to use your bag of money to pay for the passage. < /p>

Old boatman: (shaking his head and sighing) Ouch, I am old and my bones are weak, and I have no strength to rock the boat--unless you give me your health, otherwise...

Boatman: Nothing Until now, I will give you health.

Old boatman: (stretches and walks to the boatman) Hey, young man, you will do your best and give it to me, the old man, along with those bags!

Shipman: You... (yelling loudly) When you first got on the boat, you said I would get three copper wallets to the shore, but now you are greedy and keep extorting money. You...why are you so dishonest?

Old man: Ha...(laughing) Integrity? Didn’t you throw your integrity into the water long ago? How can you talk about integrity with dishonest people like you?

Get your bags quickly, I am much stronger than you now!

The boatman was stunned and had to give his luggage to the old man.

Old boatman: I can take the first step! (With a bang, the old boatman jumped into the water and disappeared)

The people on the boat secretly thought of the abandoned integrity, regretted it so much, and couldn't help but shed tears.

The old man: (suddenly climbed onto the boat dripping wet and threw the seven bags next to the passengers) Young man, I got your integrity back for you. Remember, from now on , Never abandon integrity at any time!

Boatman: (surprised) You are...

Old man: (pointing to himself) I am honest. Integrity is the real ferryman in life!

Honesty is the most beautiful baggage

Once upon a time there was a man carrying seven things in his bag. The seven things are integrity, talent, money, health, wisdom, courage and perseverance.

One day, he walked to a river and saw a boat. He called: "Fisherman, would you like to ferry me across the river?" "My boat is small and you are carrying too much weight. Can you give me a bag?" ?" said the fisherman. The pedestrian agreed, but when they reached the river, the fisherman pushed the pedestrian into the water and drove away in his boat.

The fisherman abandoned "honesty" and came to Happy Island. He wants to find happiness on Happy Island. He walked into a real estate company and wanted to buy a house and settle down.

So he opened his money bag, but the staff said: "Your banknotes cannot be circulated here. But if you have "integrity", we can lend you the house first, but "integrity" has long been lost by the fisherman." /p>

He went to the bank again and wanted to exchange gold coins that could be used on the island. The staff said: "I have never seen your coins, but if you are honest, we can make an exception for you. "The fisherman shook his head and walked out of the bank. He thought: "No, I have other luggage, I can rely on them." After making up his mind, he came to a company recruiting talents and confidently presented himself in front of the examiner Demonstrated "talent, wisdom, courage, perseverance and health", the examiner was very satisfied with these, "So do you have integrity? "The examiner asked. The fisherman asked puzzledly, aren't these enough? "No, on Happy Island, integrity is the most precious and the most beautiful." The examiner said seriously. The fisherman asked: "On Happy Island, integrity is the most precious and beautiful thing." Do you have to be honest in everything you do on Happy Island? "Because integrity is an indispensable passport no matter where you are. People here are happy because they have integrity." If you give up, you will take, and if you lose, you will gain. But what you lose is the most precious thing... .

Integrity is the foundation stone of life and cannot be discarded easily; correct it when you know it is wrong. If you lose integrity, you must find a way to remedy it.
