Try it yourself at first

A cab man was driving a car full of hay on the country road, but reckoned without falling into the muddy. Who could come to help this poor man? It's totally the arrangement of the of the Fate.

The cab men with anger surging up, cannot stop swearing. He swear at the muddy, the horse, and then the car and himself. At last, the cab man can only ask for help from the Hercules.

“Hercules”, said the cab man, “ Please help me, as you can even carry up the sky. Please get my car out of the muddy, and it is like taking a candy from a baby for you.

Just after pray, the cab man heard the instruction of the god from up the cloud:” The god want people to think it for themselves first, and then give help. Why not you take a look, what is the problem your car falling into the muddy? Try to get away the muddy around the wheels, and then break the stones and fill in the ruts. How can you don't try it yourself first?”

Moments later, the god asked the cab men: “ have you finished it?”.

“ Yes, I do”, said the cab man.

“That's great. Let me help you”, said Hercules, “ Pick up your whip”.

“I pick it up.....oh, what is this? My car rides smoothly. Thanks for your help, Hercules, you're really terrific!”

Then, the god said: “ You see, your car get out of the muddy very easily! When you get into trouble, you should try to figure it out yourself first, and then the god will help you!”
