First, here is Shutian with Idioms and Their Stories:

Ya Miao Zhu Zhang(揠苗助长)

Try to help the shoots grow by pulling them upward -- Spoil things by excessive enthusiasm

Shou Zhu Dai Tu(守株待兔)

Sit by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it -- Teust to chance and windfalls
