The Oracle

A shrine (a small shrine in which an idol or ancestral tablet is enshrined. ）stands in a puppet. This puppet can answer any question you ask and can predict the future. Because all my predictions had been confirmed, he was full of gold, silver and jewels donated by my men and women. The Marionette was shining in all its splendour. There were things under his feet, prayers in his ears, and smoke in the little censer before him that made it impossible to breathe.

Later, for some unknown reason, the Marionette's answers became more and more erratic, and his predictions were often unproved. No matter who he was, no matter what questions he asked, his answers were not satisfactory, and sometimes he could not even answer them.

Worshippers also wondered where the puppet's wisdom had gone.

It turned out that the puppet was hollow, and the priest sat in a hollow hole pretending to be a god to answer people's questions and make predictions. The priest was a wise man, and his answer was always foolproof. However, once a fool hides in it, even the most clever puppet will become a piece of wood.

To enrich themselves, so that they have the ability to solve problems and wisdom, so as to become a real wise person.

神谕

一个神龛(供奉神像或祖宗牌位的小阁子。)中，竖立着一个木偶。这个木偶不但能够回答你所提出的任何问题，还能够预知未来。正因为不偶的预言都被一一验证了，所以他浑身上下都装满了吾男信女贡献的金银珠宝。木偶在奢华的装饰中闪闪发光，脚底下全都是品，耳朵里听到的也全是祷告语，面前的小香炉里也是烟雾缭绕，连气也透不过来。

后来，不知道为什么，木偶的答复越来越不成样子，他的预言往往也得不到验证。无论是谁，无论提出什么样的问题，他的回答都不能令人满意，有时候他甚至回答不出来。

前来参拜的人也都不知道木偶的聪明智慧都跑哪儿去了。

原来事情是这样的：这个木偶是空心的，祭司就坐在空心的洞里冒充神明来回答人们的提问并提出预言。祭司是一个聪慧的人，他的回答总是万无一失。可是，一旦换了个傻瓜躲在里面，平时再冰雪聪明的木偶也会变成一段木头。

要努力充实自己，让自己有能够解决问题的能力和智慧，这样才能成为一个真正有智慧的人。
