Long long ago, some people had a bottle of wine(酒) among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the bottle from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?"
The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to it." tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

Mr Green and Mr Brown worked in the same office. One day Mr Green said to Mr Brown, “We are going to have a small party at our house next Wednesday evening. Do you and your wife want to join us?” Mr Brown said, "Thank you very much. That is very kind of you. We are free that evening. I think, but I'll telephone my wife and ask her. Maybe she wants to go somewhere else that evening.” So Mr Brown went to the other room and telephoned. When he came back, he looked very sorry. “What is the matter?” said Mr Green. “Did you speak to your wife?” “No,” answered Mr Brown, “She wasn't there, my small son answered the telephone. I said to him, ‘Is your mother there, David?’ and he answered, ‘No, she is not in the house,’ ‘Where is she then?’ I asked. ‘She is somewhere outside.’ ‘What is she doing?’ ‘She is looking for me.’”
