古时候,有个大户人家。这天,主人赏给仆人们一壶酒。

可是仆人太多了,一壶酒根本不够分。

一个瘦瘦的仆人提议道:"我们一起在地上画蛇,

谁画得又快又好,就把酒给谁,怎么样?"

仆人乙说:"这个办法好!仆人丙说:太好了,我最会画蛇了!"

于是,仆人们就拿起树枝,在地上画起了蛇来。

那个痩仆人很快就画完了,他左看看,右瞧瞧,

发现其他人连一半都没画完,心里很得意:

哈哈哈,看到时间还多得很,不如我给蛇画上脚吧。

于是,瘦仆人很快地又给蛇画上了四只脚,

其他人还是没画完。他心里更得意了。

瘦仆人说:你们画得真是太慢了。

等了一会儿,其他仆人终于画好了,

瘦仆人连忙喊来大家欣赏自己的画。

瘦仆人说:"来来来!我是第一个画完的!

你们瞧,我的蛇画的是又快又好!这壶酒归我了!"

说完,瘦仆人立马拿起那壶酒。

大家上前看了他画的蛇之后,哈哈大笑:啊哈哈哈哈!

仆人乙说:"你没见过蛇吗?蛇哪有脚啊!"

仆人丙说:"就是就是!这壶酒可不能给你!"

大家抢过他手里的酒,给了第二个画完蛇的仆人。

瘦仆人非常懊悔:哎,我真不该自作聪明,给蛇画上脚啊!
