从前，有一个杞国人非常胆小，而且经常有一些奇怪的想法。一天晚饭后，他坐在门前乘凉，突然想到：“如果有一天天塌下来，我们不是就要被压死了吗？”从此以后，他每天都为这个问题烦恼。朋友们很担心他，劝他想开点，天不会塌下来，就算真要塌下来，也不是他一个人可以解决的。可是不论别人怎么说，他还是常为这个不必要的问题担心。Once upon a time, a man lived in the state of Qi was really timid and often got absurd ideas. One day after dinner, he went to relax at his doorway. Suddenly, he thought, "If one day, the sky falls down. We will be all crushed to death." From then on, he was bothered by this thought constantly. His friends really worried about him, and suggested him to be more open-minded. They talked to him that the sky wouldn't fall down and even if it would, it would not be a problem he can solve. However, no matter what was said to him, he still worried about this unnecessary problem.
