三国时期,有一年夏天,曹操率领十万大军去打仗,这天天气非常非常热,士兵们都被晒得口干舌燥,汗水止不住地往下淌。

一个胖胖的士兵说:哎呀,这太阳就像一个大火盆,快要把我烤干了!其他士兵们听见后,也纷纷议论起来:是啊,是啊,我的汗把衣服都浸湿了,我现在快要渴死了。另一个士兵说:“啊,我渴得已经走不动路了。”

曹操看见士兵们一个个被太阳晒得东倒西歪,连忙说道,大家就地休息吧,我这就派人去找水源。

可是,不一会,派去找水源的人回来了,他趴在曹操的耳边说,将军,我找遍了方圆十里,根本找不到水源啊。

曹操看着天快要黑了,心想:如果我们不能在天黑之前离开这片荒地,那就危险了!

曹操想了一会,有了个好主意,他大声朝士兵们喊道:将士们,大家打起精神了,在前方不远处就有一片树林!

士兵问:树林?树林里有水吗?

曹操说:树林里没有水,但是结满了梅子,吃了保证能解渴!

士兵们听见后,纷纷从地上站了起来。一个士兵说,快起来,快起来,我们快赶路吧,前面有酸酸甜甜的梅子吃!另一个士兵说,啊,我听见梅子,就酸得流口水了!

士兵们来了精神,开始继续赶路了。因为大家流着口水,慢慢的也就不觉得渴了。

终于在天黑之前,走到了目的地!

例句

他没钱买别墅,只好天天看着房屋广告望梅止渴了。

这些珠宝在太贵了,她只能看看橱窗裡陈列的样品望梅止渴。
