从前，有一个叫李明的人，他有一头名叫小黑的驴子。
有一天，李明决定把一座神像放在小黑的背上，然后一起去城里。
他们走在路上，遇见了许多人。
看到神像的人都非常尊敬地向它鞠躬膜拜。
小黑看到了这一切，以为人们是向自己致敬，心里高兴极了，忍不住大喊大叫起来。
因为太得意忘形，小黑竟然不再肯往前走了。
李明看见了这个情况，立刻明白了是怎么回事。
他生气地拿起鞭子，狠狠地抽了小黑一鞭，并大声训斥：“你这蠢驴，人们什么时候会给驴子鞠躬啊？”
这个故事告诉我们，那些依靠别人获得尊重的人实在是太过自不量力了。
我们不能因为别人的尊敬而骄傲自满，要时刻保持谦虚和清醒的头脑。
Once upon a time, there was a man named Li Ming. He had a donkey named Xiao Hei.
One day, Li Ming decided to place a statue of a god on Xiao Hei's back and go to the city together.
They were walking on the road when they met many people.
People who saw the statue of the god bowed respectfully to it.
Xiao Hei saw all this and thought that people were paying homage to him. He was very happy and couldn't help shouting.
Because he was too proud, Xiao Hei refused to move forward.
Li Ming saw this situation and immediately understood what happened.
He angrily picked up a whip and fiercely whipped Xiao Hei, scolding loudly: "You stupid donkey, when would people bow to a donkey?"
This story tells us that those who rely on others for respect are really overestimating themselves.
We cannot be proud because of other people's respect. We should always remain humble and clear-minded.
