(单词翻译:单击)
Chatting with a bull, a turkey sighed and said, "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree, but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble1 on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients2."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, the turkey reached the second branch. Finally, after a week, there he was, proudly perched at the top of the tree.
Soon, though, the turkey was promptly3 spotted4 by a farmer, who shot the turkey from the tree.
The moral of the story is: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
