现在分词作状语
V-ing form used as the adverbial
Once upon a time, there was a farmer who worked hard everyday. While working in the fields one day, the farmer saw a rabbit. Running quickly, the rabbit bumped into the tree stump, dying from a broken neck. He took the rabbit home, and cooked a delicious dinner.
Then he thought, “Picking up a rabbit everyday, I needn’t work so hard!”. From then on, he no longer worked and sat by the tree stump, waiting for the rabbit to come and bump into it.
Having waited for a long time, he never saw another rabbit and starved to death in winter.
