Waiting for a rabbit under a tree |守株待兔 (Shǒu zhū dài tù)

Long long ago, there was an industrious farmer.
One day, when he was working in the field, he saw that a wild rabbit ran across the field and bumped into a tree stump and died.
The farmer picked it up and brought it home to make a nice meal. He thought:” So lucky I am! But it would be wonderful if I could have more rabbits. And besides, I don’t have to work every day.”
So the next day, he went to the field with his tools. Instead of working, he laid down under a tree to wait.
However, since that day the farmer had never seen a rabbit coming over. So that just was his wishful thinking.
The fable describes that a person doesn’t want to make efforts but has in mind to get gains.
