Food related idioms 

从前有一个富人，家里有很多仆人。有一天，他给他们一瓶美酒。一个仆人说：“酒太少了，只够一个人喝，让我们来一场比赛吧。我们每个人都用笔在地上画一条蛇，谁先画好，这瓶酒就让他一个人喝，好不好？”大家都说好。
于是，他们拿起笔，同时在地上画起蛇来。有一个人很快画好了。他看见其他的人还在画着，就说：“你们画得真慢！你们看，我早就画完了！这酒是我的了。”他把酒拿过来，又看了看其他的人，笑着说：“你们还在画呢，那我再给我的蛇画四只脚吧！”
他一边说，一边在画好的蛇上又画了四只脚。可是，还没等他把脚画好，第二个人已经画完了。这个人马上从他手里把酒抢过来，说：“我们比赛画蛇，可是蛇没有脚啊！现在你却给它画上了脚，那还能叫蛇吗？现在我是第一个画完蛇的人了，所以这瓶酒应该是我的！”说完他就开始喝起来。

CHINESE STORY中文故事

画蛇添足Drawing a Snake with Feet

एक सच्चा मित्र ही व्यक्ति के दुख में समय पर काम आता है। एक सच्चा मित्र अनमोल खजाना होता है। हर किसी को एक सच्चा मित्र मिल पाना कठिन होता है। जिन लोगों को सच्चे मित्र मिल जाते हैं वो वास्तव में बहुत भाग्यशाली होते हैं। सच्चा मित्र उस दवा के समान होता है जो अपने दोस्त को पीड़ा से बचाता है। इतना ही नहीं वह अपने मित्र को बुरे रास्ते से हटाकर अच्छे रास्ते की ओर ले जाता है और उसे पथभ्रष्ट होने से बचाता है।
