wait for a hare by the stump               

HanFeizi.five fools

   There was a peasant in Song. And in his field there was a stump. One day, he saw a

running hare hit on it and died. From then on, the peasant stopped tilling and began to

wait by the stump for another foolish hare. But he failed, and teased by all the people

around him.

It's a fairy tale,isn't it?

守株待兔
宋人有耕者。田中有株。兔走触株,折颈而死。 因释其耒而守株,冀复得兔。兔不可得得,而身为宋国笑。

这是古代英文吗
