探骊得珠的故事
很久很久以前,有一户人家住在黄河边上,靠割芦苇、编帘子簸箕为生,日子过得非常贫困。
有一天,儿子在河边割芦苇,烈日当空,晒得他头昏眼花,于是他就坐下来休息。他望着眼前的河水在阳光下闪耀着粼粼波光,想起父亲说过,在河的最深处有许多珍宝,可是谁也不敢去,因为那里住着一条凶猛的黑龙叫骊龙,他想,要是潜到河底,找到珍宝,我们一家人就用不着像现在这样一天干到晚,三顿还吃不饱,不如豁出去试一试。他把心一横,三下两下脱了衣服,一头扎进冰冷的河里。
开始他还看得见四周的小鱼在游来游去,再往深处,光线变得越来越暗,水也越来越凉,最后,他什么都看不见了,四周一团漆黑。他心里有点害怕,不知该往哪儿游。就在这时,不远处有一个圆圆的物体在闪闪发光,定睛细看,啊,原来是明珠!他憋足一口气游过去,双手抱住明珠,使劲一拽,明珠就到了他怀里。他迅速浮出水面,上岸后撒腿就往家跑。
父亲一见明珠,就问他是从哪儿得到的。他把经过一五一十地向父亲讲述一遍。父亲听了说:“好险哪!这颗价值千金的明珠是长在黑龙下巴底下的,你摘它的时候黑龙必定是睡着了。它要是醒着,你可就没命了。”故事见于《庄子列御寇》。成语“探骊得珠”,比喻写文章能紧扣主题,抓住要点。
