Moral of a few stories

Shakira 2022-03-22 09:01:46

1. There are people outside the people and there are mountains outside the mountains.

2. It's not that the Raptors don't open a bank in Shankara, and they can't escape the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day.

3. Things that have no value will only be ruthlessly discarded, whether they are people or things.

4. If you can't fight the greasy miners, don't come out and mix with the vegetables.

5. Don't run around when it's all right. Don't lose your life because of the dog, it should have been sent back to the west long ago.

6. The carriage of time will not stop and wait for anyone, we can only move forward bravely, and death will live forever.
