The Donkey and the Tiger
In ancient times, there were no donkeys in the "Qian" region. One day, a businessman traveled to a distant place and discovered that the donkeys there were remarkably strong and well-suited for farm work. He decided to purchase a donkey and brought it back to "Qian" by boat.
Since no one in Qian had ever raised donkeys before, there were no barns built for them. Therefore, the businessman allowed the donkey to graze freely at the foot of the mountain.
One day, a tiger emerged from the forest nearby.The tiger knew nothing about the donkey, and dared not approach it. It just hid in the bushes and observed from a distance.
At last, the tiger cautiously approached the donkey. But the donkey let out a very loud cry. The tiger fled as soon as possible.
But the tiger didn’t give up. Days after, it approached the donkey again. This time, the donkey angrily kicked the tiger, but the tiger quickly dodged the bullet.
Now the tiger realized that the donkey was nothing special. It could only cry and kick. In great excitement, the tiger roared loudly, pounced upon the donkey, and had a very good meal.
This is today’s idiom story. It is always used to describe someone who has done everything he can, but still can’t solve the problem.

中文大意
黔驴技穷
在古代的时候，相传在叫做“黔”的这个地方没有驴。有一个人去外地办事。他发现那里的驴很有力，干农活肯定是一把好手，所以他特意买了一头驴，用船运到了黔地。
因为这个地方以前没有人养过驴，所以没有修建驴棚。那个人只好让驴在山脚下自由吃草。
有一天，一只老虎从森林里钻了出来。它对驴一无所知，所以不敢靠近，只是躲在灌木丛里远远地看着。
过了一会儿，老虎试探性地靠近驴，驴发出了超级大的叫声，老虎吓得立刻跑开了。
但是老虎并不死心，几天后，它又一次试图靠近驴。这一次，驴生气地踢向老虎，但老虎迅速躲开了。
现在老虎知道了，驴其实也没什么特别的，它只会喊叫和踢打。一阵狂喜后，老虎怒吼一声，猛扑向驴，吃到了美美的一餐。
这就是今天的成语故事了，我们常用它来形容某人把自己能做的都做了，却依然解决不了问题。

成语出处
柳宗元《柳河东集》：黔无驴，有好事者船载以入。至则无可用，放之山下。虎见之，庞然大物也，以为神，蔽林间窥之。稍出近之，慭慭然，莫相知。
他日，驴一鸣，虎大骇，远遁；以为且噬己也，甚恐。然往来视之，觉无异能者；益习其声，又近出前后，终不敢搏。稍近，益狎，荡倚冲冒。驴不胜怒，蹄之。虎因喜，计之曰：“技止此耳！”因跳踉大㘎，断其喉，尽其肉，乃去。
噫！形之庞也类有德，声之宏也类有能。向不出其技，虎虽猛，疑畏，卒不敢取。今若是焉，悲夫！
