從前，有個貴族的家里住著一些門客。一天，主人祭祀過祖宗以后，把一壺祭祀用的酒賞給門客們。有個門客說道：“這壺酒大家都來喝怕是不夠，不如我們各自在地上畫一條蛇，誰先畫好，誰就喝這壺酒。”大家都同意這個提議。有個人很想贏，他很快就把蛇畫好了，剛想告訴大家自己贏了時，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)其他人都還在緊張地作畫。他滿心驕傲，心想：“我畫的蛇怎么能沒有腳呢？”接著，他開始給蛇畫上腳。正當(dāng)他忙著畫腳時，另一個人也把蛇畫好了。這個人立刻搶過了酒，他說：“蛇本來就沒有腳，你怎么能給它畫上腳呢？”說完他就喝了起來。一開始畫好蛇的那個人只能眼睜睜地看著，后悔不已。這就是今天的成語故事，它告訴我們凡事不要做過頭，否則反倒會適得其反。詞匯句型ancestor
