鸡笼外的鸡。在一个大型机械化的养鸡场的库房里，整齐地排列着近百个小笼子，每个笼子里有两只蛋鸡。笼子非常小，母鸡在里面无法转身，鸡笼前面的自动传送带送给它们食物，鸡笼后面的传送带则带走它们产下的鸡蛋。可是在不远处有十几只四处游荡的鸡，一个工作人员跟在后面撒米喂它们。你是想把它们引回鸡笼吧？要不要我帮忙？一个前来参观的客人对员工说。谢谢，我并不想抓住它们！员工回答。这是我们有意放在笼子外面的几只鸡。如果关在笼子里的那些家伙看不到几只自由的鸡，会由于精神过度紧张而停止生蛋。如果没有这几个逃跑分子，其它的鸡会最终放弃希望，甚至死掉。原来如此！客人若有所悟地说道。大道理：希望是生命的动力，是生活的源泉。一个人如果失去希望，就好比鸟儿没有了翅膀，羊群远离了草场。
