★ Drawn by little artist ★ English and Traditional Chinese Bilingual Picture Book / 中英雙語對照繪本 There is a Chinese idiom, 守株待兔 [shǒu zhū d?i t?], which means waiting under a tree for a rabbit to die by itself. 守 [shǒu] means to stay or sit by, 株 [zhū] means the tree stump, 待 [d?i] means to wait, 兔 [t?] means rabbit. This metaphor is used to mock people who wish to make gains without working and always dream of having windfalls. 守株待兔 [shǒu zhū d?i t?] can also be used to refer people who are inflexible and stick to one method of doing things. The big wolf in this story was hungry but didn't make any effort to hunt his food. Eventually, he got some by luck but expected to use the same method to get more, and this only led him to be hungry again.
