One day, Zhuang Gong, King of the State of Qi, went out in a chariot to hunt.

一天，齐庄公乘车外出打猎。

On the way, he saw a small insect raise both its arms, trying to stop the wheels of the chariot.

路上，他看见一只小虫举起双臂，想阻挡车轮前进。

Zhuang Gong of Qi was curious and asked the driver:

齐庄公很好奇，就问车夫:

"What kind of insect is it?"

“这是什么虫子?”

"It is a mantis," the driver replied promptly. "

车夫连忙回答:“这是蝗螂。

This kind of insect only knows how to advance but not retreat, blindly underrating its enemies and overrating its own abilities."

这种虫子只知前进，不知后退，盲目轻敌，不自量力。”

Hearing the driver's reply, Zhuang Gong smiled to himself and remained silent.

听了车夫的回答，庄公暗自发笑，默默无语。
