黔驴技穷 donkey of黔was at its wit’s
end. It similar the English term “show feet of clay”.
黔 is a Chinese province, today it is called
贵州. In ancient
time, there had no donkey. One day, someone introduced a donkey to that area. Soon
he found it was useless, for so many
hillocks that a donkey could not carry goods and cargo like plain or flatland. So he left the donkey alone. A tiger saw it. At beginning, the tiger regarded it as a big fellow, a wonder. The tiger hid in grove to peep the donkey. After a period, the tiger began to approach it. Then, it studied and investigated the monster.

One
day, the donkey uttered a loud heehaw. It threatened the tiger very much, it
thought that the donkey was ready to bite it and escaped far away. But when the
tiger looked back, the donkey didn’t do anything. The tiger felt confident and
got closer the donkey again. The manner of tiger turned from serious to intimate.
Step by step, it started to touch and bump the donkey. The donkey felt angry and
kicked the tiger by the hoof. Now the tiger understood that the only skill or
ability of the donkey was kicking. So it jumped on the donkey and ate it.
