Origin Story
从前，有个名叫阿牛的年轻人，他为人老实，却常被村里的老骗子老张欺骗。老张总是用花言巧语骗取阿牛的信任，然后骗走他的钱财或物品。一次，老张又找到阿牛，信誓旦旦地说自己能找到传说中的宝藏，只需要阿牛拿出全部积蓄作为“启动资金”。阿牛虽然怀疑，但被老张的花言巧语迷惑，最终还是将所有积蓄交给了老张。结果可想而知，阿牛被老张彻底骗光了，只留下了无尽的悔恨。阿牛的经历告诉我们，那些夸夸其谈，充满虚假承诺的话语，都是欺人之谈，千万不能轻信。
Once upon a time, there was a young man named An Niu who was honest but often cheated by Lao Zhang, an old swindler in the village. Lao Zhang always used sweet words to deceive An Niu's trust and then cheated him out of his money or belongings. Once, Lao Zhang found An Niu again and swore that he could find the legendary treasure, only needing An Niu to take out all his savings as "startup capital." Although An Niu was suspicious, he was fascinated by Lao Zhang's sweet words and finally gave all his savings to Lao Zhang. The result was predictable. An Niu was completely cheated by Lao Zhang, leaving only endless regret. An Niu's experience tells us that those boastful words, full of false promises, are all deceitful talk, and we must never easily believe them.
