    “人为财死、鸟为食亡”愿意本为告诫人们不要过于贪婪

          “人为财死、鸟为食亡”愿意本为告诫人们不要过于贪婪,但从现代人的使用情况看来,这句名言俨然已经成为了贪婪者鼓起勇气去贪婪的励志名言了……

            话说古时候,有兄弟两人,自幼父母双亡,哥俩相依为命,日子过得十分艰难,好在天无亡人之路,过了几年,老大娶了媳妇,成家立业,苦日子也到了头。可能真的是只能共苦,无法同甘,连手足之情,也难免如此。就在生计渐渐转好的时候,小夫妻俩开始想着法算计兄弟,最终哥嫂独占了父母留下的一点薄产,把弟弟赶岀了家门,从此老二无奈地在外流浪。  一日,老二有幸遇到一只大鸟,大鸟对他说,在东海深处中有一小岛,岛上遍是金子和黄豆,我带你到岛上,你捡金子,我吃黄豆,但是天快亮时,你要及时提醒我,我们赶紧离开小岛,否则我们两个都要被太阳升起之时的万丈光芒点燃烧死。老二点头答应下来。如愿按照大鸟的吩咐,果然发了一笔大财,穷小子时来运转,成了当年当地数一数二的富翁。
      老大看到老二发了财,百思不得其解,天天跟老二套近乎,老二被哥哥纠緾不过,不再计较当年所受的种种委屈,就把秘密告诉了自己的哥哥听。哥哥听了,心里乐开了花,天还不黑就开始等那只大鸟的到来,等了好长好长的时间,终于等到大鸟飞来,老大哪里还顾得上同大鸟说话,抓住大鸟的双脚向东海飞去。
      大鸟飞呀飞,老大盼呀盼,飞过高山,掠过大海,终于落在那个小岛上,老大睁眼一看,可不得了啦,只见遍地是黄澄澄的金子,老大再也顾不了许多,疯狂地捡了起来。他只顾捡自己的金子,只恨爹妈少给他生了两只手,哪里还记得弟弟千叮万嘱在天亮之前必须离开的警告,可怜大鸟还沉迷在黄豆的美味之中,等着老大提醒它。不知不觉,东方天已大亮,轰!随着旭日东升整个小岛霎时间成了一片火海,就这样,贪心的老大和无奈的大鸟双双葬身在烈火之中。
      当后世之人在分享这个传说时,都会为大鸟的去世感到深深的惋惜,也十分痛恨老大的贪得无厌,但同时对大鸟贪吃小豆也颇有些微词,不过更为失去那可以立马发财的黄金小岛而痛惜不已。人为财死,鸟为食亡。其实这则古老的寓言是劝诫人们做人不要太贪心,该取则取,当舍则舍。
