Two men were travelling together,one of whom never spoke the truth，whereas the other never told a lie：and they came in the course of their travels to the land of Apes The King of the Apes，hearing of their arrival，ordered them to be brought before him；and by way of impressing them with his magnificence，he received them sitting on a throne，while the Apes，his subjects，were ranged in long rows on either side of him When the Travellers came into his presence he asked them what they thought of him as a King.The lying Traveller said，“Sire，every one must see that you are a most noble and mighty monarch.”“And what do you think of my subjects?”continued the King“They,”said the Traveller,“are in every way wo——hy of their royal master.”TheApe was so delighted with his answer that he gave him a very handsome present.The other Traveller thought that ifhis companion was rewarded so splendidly for telling a lie，he himself would certainly receive a still greater reward for telling the truth；so，when the Ape turned to him and said，“And what，sir,is your opinion?”he replied，“I think you are a very fine Ape，and all your subjects are fine Apes too.”The King of the Apes was so enraged at his reply that he ordered him to be taken away and clawed to death.

宙斯创造了人，没给人长寿，却给了人聪明才智。
在冬天，人给自己建造好了房屋，舒适地住在里面。有一天，天气异常库冷，还下着雨，马冻得再忍受不住了，便跑到人那里，请求让它住在屋内避寒。人说除非马同意把它的部分寿命送给人，否则就不让它进门。马高兴地答应了。不久之后，牛也忍受不了寒冬，跑来找人。那人同样地说，除非牛能把部分寿命送给人，不然就不收留它。牛献出了部分寿命后，被收留下来。
最后，狗冻得几乎要了，也跑来把自己的部分寿命送给人，得到住处。这样，人在宙斯所给的年岁内，纯洁而善良；到了马给的'年岁，就吹牛说大话，自命不凡；到了牛给的年岁，开始干事业；而到狗给的年岁，便容易发脾气，动不动就大吵大闹。
这故事适用于爱发脾气的固执的老人。
写一写名人的故事的作文400字【三】
小鸟又问：“他们比我们活得幸福吗?”老鸟说：“远不如我们生活得幸福。”
“为什么他们不如我们幸福?”小鸟不解地问父亲。老鸟答道：“因为在人类心中生长着一根刺，叫做贪婪。”
小鸟又问：“婪是什么意思?”“你想亲眼见识见识吗，孩子?”
少顷，小鸟便叫了起来：“爸爸，有个人走过来了。”
老鸟飞离小鸟，落到来人身边，那人伸手便抓住了它，乐不可支地叫道：“我要把你宰掉，吃你的肉!”老鸟说道：“我的肉这么少，够填饱你的肚子吗?”那人说：“肉虽然少，却鲜美可口。”
老鸟说“我可以送你远比我的肉更有用的东西，那是三句至理，假如你学到手，便会发大财。”那人急不可耐：“决告诉我，这三句名言是什么?”
老鸟徐徐说道：“我可以告诉你，但是有个条件：我在你手中先告诉你第一句名言，待你放开我，便告诉你第二句名言，等到我飞到树上后，才会告诉你第三句名言。”
那人马上答道：“我答应你的条件，快告诉我第一句名言吧。”
老鸟说道：“第一句名言便是：莫惋惜已经失去的东西!根据我们的条件，现在请你放开我。”那人便放开了老鸟。“这第二句名言便是：莫相信不可能存在的事情。”说罢，它边叫边振翅飞上了树梢，“你真是个大傻瓜，如果刚才把我宰掉，你便会从我腹中取出一颗重量达120克、价值连城的'大宝石。”
那人闻听，懊悔不已，把嘴唇都咬出了，他望着树上的鸟，仍惦记着他们方才谈妥的条件，便又说道：“请你快把第三句名言告诉我!”
狡猾的老鸟讥笑他说：“贪婪的人啊，你的贪婪之心遮住了你的双眼。既然你忘记了前两句名言，告诉你第三句又有何益?难道我没有告诉你莫惋惜已经失去的东西，莫相信不可能存在的事情吗?你想想，我浑身的骨肉翅加起来还不足100克，腹中怎么可能有一颗超过120克的大宝石呢?”
那人闻听此言，顿时目瞪口呆。
