An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men. One man said, "We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake the ground. Who finishes first will have " The others agreed. Very soon, one man finished his snake. He was about (drink) the wine when he saw the others were still busy (draw). He said proudly, "How (slow) you are drawing! I still have enough time to add feet to my snake." But before he finished, another man finished his snake and took hold of the pot from him, saying, "Whoever (see) a snake with feet before? Yours is not a snake, the wine should be mine!" He drank the wine. The man adding feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his(fool) behavior.
From that story comes the idiom Draw a snake and add feet to it'. Now people use this idiom to illustrate (阐释) the truth we are all familiar with: Going too far (be) as bad as not going far enough.
