It looked like rain. The sky was gray. It was almost noon, but the sun was hidden by a gray blanket. It was cool. There were no birds flying anywhere. A couple of birds sat on the telephone wire. Bob was standing outside talking to Bill. They both had their hands in their pockets. They knew that it was probably going to rain shortly. A sudden breeze blew some leaves off a tree onto the sidewalk.
A young woman wearing a dark blue coat and jeans walked by. She was walking a small dog. It was pure white, and pretty. It sniffed at a tree trunk. The woman waited patiently. Finally, the dog lifted its leg.
Bob said that he liked the rain. It was a nice change from the usual hot Los Angeles weather. And the plants could always use the extra water. Bill said the only thing he didn’t like about rain was that all the motor oil on the streets would get washed into the ocean, and so would all the trash.
"But that never stops the surfers," Bob said. "They don’t seem to care what’s in the water, as long as there are waves to surf on."
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

The little princess loved to hear about people who were not the same as she was. These people have feet and did not live in the sea: they lived on land. She made her grandmother tell her everything she knew about ships, cities, and men. She was very pleased when she heard that the flowers on land had a lovely smell: the flowers in the sea had no smell at all. She was very pleased, too, when she heard that the small fishes in the sky could sing. The old lady was speaking about birds, but she called them fishes because the little princesses did not know about birds. "When you are fifteen years old, you can go to the top of the sea, " their grandmother said. "You will then sit at night and see the ships go by. And you will know about cities and men. "
The next year the oldest of the sisters would be fifteen. She was very happy, but the other sisters were unhappy. They could not go to the top of the sea. The oldest sister said that she would tell them about everything that she saw.
But none of the sisters wanted to go so much as the youngest sister wanted to go. On many nights she stood by the open window, looking up through the blue water. She could see the sun and it looked very big to her. If a ship went by up there, above her, she thought that it must be a very big fish.
The day now came when the oldest of the princess was fifteen and could go to the top of the sea.
When she came back she had many things to tell.
这个小公主喜欢听跟自己不同的人类的故事。这些人有腿，不在海里生活，他们在陆地上生活。她让祖母把她所知道的一切有关船只、城市和人类的知识告诉她。当她听到地上的花儿有好闻的香味时，她很高兴。海里的花儿一点香味也没有。当她听说天上的小鱼儿会唱歌时，她也很高兴。老太太说的是鸟儿，不过她管它们叫鱼儿，因为小公主不知道什么叫鸟儿。
“等你到你们满十五岁的时候，你们可以浮到海面上去。”她们的老祖母说，“你们晚上坐在那儿，看船只在身旁驶过去，你们就知道城市和人的一些事。
再过一年，最大的姐姐就满十五岁了，她很高兴，但其她的姐妹却不愉快。她们不能到海面上去。大姐姐说，她会把她看到的一切讲给她们听。可是，在姐妹中谁也没有象最年幼的妹妹那样，想上去想得那么厉害。有很多夜晚，她站在开着的窗口，透过蓝色的海水，朝上凝望。她看到太阳，对她来说，太阳看起来是那么大。如果一条船从她上方的海面驶过，她会以为那是一条很大的鱼。这一天来到了，最大的公主满十五岁，可以升到海面上去了。她回来的时候，有许多事情要讲。

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”
"The thing which I liked to do the most was to look at a large city, " she said. "The city was near the sea and there were many lights. I heard people singing and men speaking. I saw big houses and I heard bells ringing. And I wanted to go into the city."
The youngest princess wanted to hear about everything again. The next night when she stood by the open window and looked up through the sea, she thought she could hear the bells ringing.
The next year another sister became fifteen and went to the top of the sea.
She went there just as the sun was going down in the sky at night.
"This was more beautiful than any other thing I ever saw, " she told her sisters when she came back. "The sky was golden, and I cannot tell you how beautiful it was."
It was soon time for another sister to go to the top of the sea. She was the bravest of the six, and she went up a river. She saw hills with woods and houses and she heard the birds singing. Many children were jumping in the water. Then a little dog ran after her. She became afraid and went back to the sea.
"Nothing can be more beautiful, " she said when she came back home. "I have seen ships on the water: they were so far away that they looked like white birds."

其实，如果你不能给予别人百分之百的话，你总是会怀疑别人是否给予了你百分之百。
拿出你百分之百的诚心，对待所有的人和事，然后睡个安稳觉吧！
生活中的很多人和事，就如文中所说的一样，自己到底有没有做到百分之百呢？
虽然我们深知猜疑这东西最伤感情，可是还是会不断地忍不住地猜。
疑心是对他人的不信任，对自己的不自信，对彼此的折磨，对感情的亵渎，这是一个心魔。
世界上没有对与错，只有因和果，当我们付诸百分之百的真诚去对待身边的人，不用去考虑他会以何种方式回报，静静的等待，所有的一切都会吸引而来。
乡下小村庄的偏僻小屋里住着一对母女，母亲深怕遭窃，总是一到晚上便在门把上连锁三道锁；女儿则厌恶了像风景画般枯燥而一成不变的乡村生活，她向往都市，想去看看自己透过收音机所想象的那个华丽世界。某天清晨，女儿为了追求那虚幻的梦，离开了母亲身边，她趁母亲睡觉时偷偷离家出走了。
可惜这世界不如她想像的美丽动人，她在不知不觉中，走向堕落之途，深陷无法自拔的泥泞中，这时她才领悟到自己的过错。

回到家时已是深夜，微弱的灯光透过门缝渗透出来，她轻轻敲了敲门，却突然有种不详的预感，女儿扭开门把她吓了一跳。“好奇怪，母亲之前从来不曾忘记把门锁上的。”母亲瘦弱的身躯蜷曲在冰冷的地板，以令人心疼的模样睡着了。
“妈……妈……”听到女儿的哭泣声，母亲睁开了眼睛，一语不发地搂住女儿疲惫的肩膀，在母亲怀里哭了很久之后，女儿突然好奇问道：“妈，今天你怎么没有锁门，有人闯进来怎么办？”
母亲回答说：“不只是今天而已，我怕你晚上突然回来进不了家门，所以十年来门从没锁过。”
母亲十年如一日，等待着女儿回来，女儿房间里的摆设一如当年。这天晚上，母女回复到十年前的样子，紧紧锁上门睡着了。

一把钥匙整天被钥匙扣栓着很郁闷，他经常唉声叹气自言自语的说：“哎!我可真不幸，老是被钥匙扣拴着一点自由都没有。”
钥匙扣听了也不吭声，依旧牢牢地绑住钥匙。
直到有一天，主人喝多了酒，咧咧跄跄往回走时，钥匙扣被撞开了。钥匙瞧准这个机会赶紧挣脱了钥匙扣的铁圈，高呼：“我自由了……我自由了……”然后他啪嗒落在了地上，一骨碌掉进了暗沟里。
就在他兴高采烈的庆祝自己自由的时候，他瞧见主人走了。他急忙高呼：“主人，我在这了，你别把我丢了呀!”可他的呼叫声主人一点也没听见。
于是钥匙只能躺在暗沟里，每天被数十双脚踩来踩去十分痛苦，他不由得开始怀念和钥匙扣在一起的日子，有钥匙扣的保护，他永远被主人重视，可如今，他哭了。
有一次，一头狗熊与一只老虎争斗，它被老虎打得头破血流。狗熊逃到一棵大树下，它躺在地上喃喃细语。一只蜻蜓看见了这情景，它便询问狗熊在做什么。狗熊告诉蜻蜓――自己在这树下发誓立志有朝一日一定要打败老虎。
过了一段时间，这头狗熊与一只大象争斗，它又被大象打得头破血流。狗熊又逃到那棵大树下，它躺在地上微微经语。恰巧那只蜻蜓又看见这情景，它询问狗熊又在做什么。狗熊告诉蜻蜓――自己在这树下发誓立志有朝一日一定要打败大象。
蜻蜓说道：“你常常立志有何用呢?你就是天天在这儿立志，自己不发奋努力，也无法如愿以偿，你永远也只能是一头无能为力的狗熊。”
常立志，往往志难成!
在一座寺庙里，住着一老一小两个和尚。这天，老和尚对小和尚说：“我们的米不多了，你出山到集上买些米吧。”小和尚答应一声，第二天就出发了。
可是走了没多久，小和尚就回来了。他告诉老和尚，出山过河的那座桥，木头朽坏了，人不能走。老和尚问：“不是可以从别的路绕过去吗？”小和尚说：“绕过去那得多走几倍的路。我听附*的山民说了，那桥他们马上就修，还不如等桥修好了再出山。”老和尚沉默不语了。
几天后，老和尚又派小和尚去买米，几个时辰过去后，小和尚背着袋子又回来了。看到老和尚，小和尚立刻说：“师父，那桥正在抢修，现在还没修完，等他们修好了再去买米吧。我想，修这桥不会用太长时间的。”老和尚看看已快见底的米缸，叹口气：“好吧，就按你说的等吧。”
估摸着桥该修好了，这时米缸里的米也已吃得干干净净了。老和尚说：“去吧，赶快去吧，再买不到米，咱就该饿肚子了。”小和尚收拾收拾东西，上路了。可是这一次，小和尚去得快，回来得也快。一见面，小和尚就着急地对老和尚说：“师傅，不好了，桥是修到头了，可是被上游突然暴发的山洪又冲坏了，连那条绕过去的路也被洪水淹没了，我们该挨饿了……”
老和尚叹口气：“其实，这种状况是一开始就注定了的。当初桥朽坏了的时候，你如果早下决心，从绕过去的路出山，虽然费些体力，但米应该是早已买回来了。可你不想费力，又心存侥幸，结果，一而再，再而三，造成了今天的困境，你说，这能怨谁呢？”小和尚不由得低下了头。
许多时候，我们总是考虑如何抄*道、走捷径，即使出现意外情况，也是心存侥幸，不肯相机而变，付出更多，结果，成功的时机就这样被我们自己轻易地放走了。

It was time for a haircut. Lenny didn’t even have to look in the mirror. Even though he was going bald, he knew that he needed to cut his hair every two weeks.
He had a "tongue" of hair on the top of his head. His hair was thinning at the crown. He still had plenty of hair on the sides and back. It was what they call "salt and pepper," a mixture of gray hair and dark brown hair. It was only a few years, he figured, until the salt and pepper became just salt.
He never let his hair grow for more than two weeks. The longer it got, the worse it looked, he thought.
He spread a newspaper over the bathroom sink so that no hair went down the drain. He plugged in the clippers and started cutting his hair. He started at the back of his head, went to the sides, and finished on the top. Every minute or so, he had to clean the hair out of the blades with an old toothbrush.
Finished, he picked up a hand mirror to check out the back of his head. Everything looked okay. He carried the newspaper back out to the kitchen and shook the hair clippings into the trash can.
Then he took a shower.

In the State of Lu, there was a couple of husband and wife, the former being an expert shoemaker and the latter a skilled hand in wearing taffeta. One day after consultations they decided to go to the state of Yue to earn a livelihood. The neighbors advised them not to go when they learned about their plan. "Don't go there," said one neighbor, "If you go, you can never earn a livelihood."
"We cannot understand you," interrogated the couple, "We have a find command of our art, how could we not earn our living with our work? Don't make a fool of us, please."
"Indeed, you have your skill," explained the man, "But have you taken notice of the fact that shoes are made for people and the silk taffeta are for hat-making? The people of Yue don't wear shoes, for they are barefooted. Again, they like to have their hair spread out over their heads and they never use hats. To whom should you sell your shoes and hats then?" Experienced though you are in the arts, yet the arts you have mastered are useless there."
After this explanation, the husband and wife now understood that anything that was not adaptable to the objective world would be useless and unpractical.

针刺若仅连着毒腺，蜜蜂就可以无限制地蜇人。大自然如此安排，真可谓独具匠心：你蜇了别人，也就等于蜇了自己。

每天上午11点，一辆耀眼的汽车穿过纽约市的中心公园。车里除了司机，还有一位主人----无人不晓的百万富翁。
百万富翁注意到：每天上午都有位衣着破烂的人坐在公园的凳子上死死盯着他住的旅馆。一天百万富翁对此发生了极大的兴趣，他要求司机停下车并走到那人的面前说：“请原谅，我真不明白你为什么每天上午都盯着我住的旅馆看。”
“先生，”这人说：“我没钱、没家、没住宅，只得睡在这长凳上，不过，每天晚上我都梦到住进了那所旅馆。”
百万富翁灵机一动，洋洋得意地说：“今晚你一定如梦以偿。我将为你在旅馆租一间最好的房间并附一个月房费。”
几天后，百万富翁路过这人的房间，想打听一下他是否对此感到满意。然而，他出人意料地发现这人已搬出了旅馆，重新回到公园的凳子上。
当百万富翁问这人为什么要这样做时，他回答：“一旦我睡在凳子上，我就梦见我睡在那所豪华的旅馆，真是妙不可言;一旦我睡在旅馆里，我就梦见我又回到了冷梆梆的凳子上，这梦真是可怕极了，以至完全影响了我的睡眠!”
有一个博士分到一家研究所，成为学历最高的一个人。一天他到单位后面的小池塘去钓鱼，正好正副所长在他的一左一右，也在钓鱼。他只是微微点了点头，这两个本科生，有啥好聊的呢?不一会儿，正所长放下钓竿，伸伸懒腰，蹭蹭蹭从水面上如飞地走到对面上厕所。博士眼睛睁得都快掉下来了：水上飘?不会吧?这可是一个池塘啊。正所长上完厕所回来的时候，同样也是蹭蹭蹭地从水上飘回来了。怎么回事?博士生又不好去问，自己是博士生哪!
过一阵，副所长也站起来，走几步，蹭蹭蹭地飘过水面上厕所。这下子博士更是差点昏倒：不会吧，到了一个江湖高手集中的地方?
博士生也内急了。这个池塘两边有围墙，要到对面厕所非得绕十分钟的路，而回单位上又太远，怎么办?博士生也不愿意去问两位所长，憋了半天后，也起身往水里跨：我就不信本科生能过的水面，我博士生不能过。只听咚的一声，博士生栽到了水里。
两位所长将他拉了出来，问他为什么要下水，他问：“为什么你们可以走过去呢?”两所长相视一笑：“这池塘里有两排木桩子，由于这两天下雨涨水正好在水面下。我们都知道这木桩的位置，所以可以踩着桩子过去。你怎么不问一声呢”?

珍妮是个总爱低着头的小女孩，她一直觉得自己长得不够漂亮。
有一天，她到饰物店去买了只绿色蝴蝶结，店主不断赞美她戴上蝴蝶结挺漂亮，珍妮虽不信，但是挺高兴，不由昂起了头，急于让大家看看，出门与人撞了一下都没在意。
珍妮走进教室，迎面碰上了她的老师，“珍妮，你昂起头来真美!”老师爱抚地拍拍她的肩说。
那一天，她得到了许多人的赞美。她想一定是蝴蝶结的功劳，可往镜前一照，头上根本就没有蝴蝶结，一定是出饰物店时与人一碰弄丢了。自信原本就是一种美丽，而很多人却因为太在意外表而失去很多快乐。
感悟：无论是贫穷还是富有，无论是貌若天仙，还是相貌**，只要你昂起头来，快乐会使你变得可爱。
从前，有两个饥饿的人得到了一位长者的恩赐：一根鱼竿和一篓鲜活硕大的鱼。其中，一个人要了一篓鱼，另一个人要了一根鱼竿，于是他们分道扬镳了。得到鱼的人原地就用干柴搭起篝火煮起了鱼，他狼吞虎咽，还没有品出鲜鱼的肉香，转瞬间，连鱼带汤就被他吃了个精光，不久，他便饿死在空空的鱼篓旁。另一个人则提着鱼竿继续忍饥挨饿，一步步艰难地向海边走去，可当他已经看到不远处那片蔚蓝色的海洋时，他浑身的最后一点力气也使完了，他也只能眼巴巴地带着无尽的遗憾撒手人间。
又有两个饥饿的人，他们同样得到了长者恩赐的一根鱼竿和一篓鱼。只是他们并没有各奔东西，而是商定共同去找寻大海，他俩每次只煮一条鱼，他们经过遥远的跋涉，来到了海边，从此，两人开始了捕鱼为生的日子，几年后，他们盖起了房子，有了各自的家庭、子女，有了自己建造的渔船，过上了幸福安康的生活。
一个人只顾眼前的利益，得到的终将是短暂的欢愉；一个人目标高远，但也要面对现实的生活。

Myra told Myron that they shouldn’t see each other for a while. Her doctor had suggested that she take a short vacation from her job and a long vacation from Myron.
"What did you tell him about me?" Myron asked.
She told her doctor that she had dreams about Myron leaving her. She sometimes dreamed that he pushed her out of his car in the middle of nowhere. She would be crying on the side of the road in the middle of the night, cold and scared, as the taillights disappeared.
"What kind of dream is that?" Myron's voice was loud. “Do you think I would ever do that to you?" She said that she didn’t know.
"You don’t know?! Of course I wouldn’t do that to you! I love you!"
Myra asked Myron to lower his voice. She no longer believed that he loved her. One day, feeling low and insecure, she had told Myron that it would be nice to get away for the weekend. Perhaps they could go to a quiet resort in the mountains. He told her that he was playing golf that Saturday. Maybe they could go to a resort another time. She was astounded.
"I needed you that weekend. Instead, you preferred to play golf. Now there is a shadow on my heart that nothing can remove," she told him sadly.
The Butterfly arrived at the place filled with apple tree flowers. "Tomorrow, the apple tree flower will fade along with the wind even if she is blooming today." The apple tree flower wasn't good enough to be the butterfly's bride, either.

There was a pea flower. "Wow, she is very splendid!" Pea flowers were in elegant bloom with red and white colors. The Butterfly liked the pea flower because she was neither too lonely nor too dazzling.
他又发现了一颗豌豆花。“哇，她真好看！”红白相间的豌豆花优雅地盛开着。蝴蝶喜欢豌豆花，因为她既不是太孤单，也不是太耀眼。
"Hi, Miss Pea flower?" Butterfly flew closer to her to ask to be his bride. Then, he caught sight of a messy flower hanging on a leaf with a withered bean chaff. He ran away in a hurry after seeing that.
“嗨，豌豆花小姐？”蝴蝶飞*了想要让她做自己的新娘。然后，一片杂乱的已经枯萎、结豆了的豌豆花映入他的眼帘。看到这幅情景他匆忙飞走了。
In this way, spring and summer passed. But the butterfly still could not find his bride. Autumn came. One day Butterfly smelled a strong scent while he was flying. There was a peppermint in the field.
就这样，春天和夏天都过去了。但蝴蝶还是没有找到他的新娘。秋天很快到来了。有一天，当他在悠闲地飞舞时时，闻到了一股浓烈的香味。原来田间种着薄荷。
"That's great. Even though peppermint does not have any flowers, her leaves have a very strong scent. Peppermint's leaves are the same as flowers. I will make her my bride." Butterfly flew next to the peppermint and asked, "Miss Peppermint, would you please be my bride?"
“太好了。虽然薄荷没有花叶，但她气味芳香。薄荷的叶子就像花儿一样漂亮。我要让她做我的新娘。”蝴蝶飞到薄荷旁边问，“薄荷小姐，你愿意做我的新娘吗？”

薄荷回答：“蝴蝶先生，现在已经是秋天了。你和我都太老了。不要再跟我提“做你新娘”之类的话了。”就这样到了最后，蝴蝶也没找到自己的新娘。

三只老鼠同去一个很深的油缸偷油喝，够不到油喝的它们想了一个办法，就是一只老鼠咬着另一只老鼠的尾巴，吊下缸底去喝油，大家轮流喝，有福同享。
第一只老鼠最先吊下去喝油，它想：“油就这么多，大家轮流喝一点儿也不过瘾，今天算我运气好，干脆自己跳下去喝个饱。”夹在中间的老鼠想：“下面的油没多少，万一让第一只老鼠喝光了，那我怎么办?我看还是把它放了，自己跳下去喝个痛快！”第三只老鼠也暗自嘀咕：“油那么少，等它们两个吃饱喝足，哪里还有我的份儿?倒不如趁这个时候把它们放了，自己跳到缸底饱喝一顿。”
于是，第二只老鼠狠心地放开第一只老鼠的尾巴，第三只老鼠也迅速放开第三只老鼠的尾巴，它们争先恐后地跳到缸里去了。最后，三只老鼠都淹死在油缸里。

一只绵羊走进酒店，擦了擦眼睛，对老板说：
“给我一碗酒喝喝吧。”
老板把酒拿来，绵羊把头伸头进碗里，喝光酒，说：
“再来一碗！”
“为什么喝这么多酒?”老板问绵羊。
“心里痛苦。”
“什么事?”
“去年秋天，一只狼偷偷钻进羊舍，拖走了老绵羊——我的父亲，世界上再也没有我爸爸了！只有它的铃还留着。”
“既然如此，你唱歌吧，唱唱歌，也许心里会轻松点。”老板劝道。
绵羊喝了一整天酒，从酒店出来时，已是醉醺醺的了，它用沙哑的嗓子哼着歌。
“你唱什么?”山羊问它。
“我喝了酒，所以就唱了。”
“看你醉成了这个样子，不好啊！”
“我能不喝酒吗?”绵羊争辩说，“我心里痛苦。去年秋天，狼拖走了我的亲爹。”
“你现在往哪里儿去?”
“到森林里去。”
“到了那里做什么?”
“同狼打仗，我要战胜它，剥了它的皮，卖给茨冈人，他们给我做面鼓，鼓会发出声音，我就可以跳舞唱歌了。”
这时，绵羊眼睛里闪着快乐的神色。
“我也去。”山羊说，“我的角很尖。”
“不必！我能对付它。”
醉醺醺的绵羊走出村庄，慢慢地向森林走去。它遇到一条狗，狗知道绵羊去的地方后，就说：
“我同你一起去。去年夏天，狼吃了我两个弟弟，我要用牙齿对付它，你去引它打架，我跳到它背上咬它。”
“你不要管我的事。”绵羊说，“我现在愤怒至极，可以一下子把它打倒在地。”
绵羊独自一个去同狼打架了，可是狼把它也吃了。
过了不久，山羊跑进森林来为朋友报仇，但狼把山羊也吃了。
狗也来到森林，要问问狼，为什么吃掉它的两个兄弟。但狗也没回去。
狼直到今天还在森林里，它心里想：要是全体绵羊、细腿的山羊、牙齿锐利的狗一起来向我进攻，我早就完了！森林里也一定没有我的位置了。可它们一个个来，就对付不了我了。
感悟：不要被悲伤冲昏了头脑，一个人的奋斗固然可嘉，但众人拾柴火焰高，团结才是力量。
别看它是一条黑母牛，牛奶一样是白的。

暮色渐稠，灯火阑珊，绿树掩映的别墅里，小主人布丁洗漱完毕，回自己房间，布丁家养的小猴子滑头还举着冰糖葫芦在玩耍，布丁轻轻把小猴子滑头抱到它的床上，拿走滑头手的冰糖葫芦，滑头却又跳下床，布丁把糖葫芦放在滑头床头，小猴子滑头方才跳上床，闭上眼安心睡去……
别墅角落里的老鼠洞内，小老鼠巴豆正手捧书躺在摇椅上，书封面上写着“外语”，小老鼠巴豆正起劲地唱着：唧唧、咕咕、咩咩、呜呜……
鼠妈妈身着围裙正在餐桌前收拾残汤剩饭，边收拾边哼唱：今天是个好日子，今天是个好日子……
鼠妈妈忙完，端一水果盘走*小老鼠巴豆说：“宝贝，一天到晚叽哩呱啦讲鸟语，哪能当饭吃吗？”边说边将一粒樱桃西红柿塞到小老鼠巴豆口中。
小老鼠巴豆捧着书，一边嚼着樱桃西红柿一边假装生气地说：“妈，都什么年代了，还老把吃挂在嘴边，我可不想再和你一样，我要学外语，我要有新生活！”小老鼠巴豆说着故意背过身去不理妈妈。
“吆！您听听！您听听！说的多好听呀——我要学外语，我要有新的生活！”鼠妈妈模仿着小老鼠巴豆的声音，用刻薄的语气说。
小老鼠巴豆自顾不暇，仍在小声嘟囔着：“唧唧、咕咕、咩咩、呜呜……”
见小老鼠巴豆没理会自己，鼠妈妈叹一口气，板起脸，一本正经道：“新生活就不吃饭了？世道是变了，怎么不知道哪头轻哪头重了呢？鼠以食为天，这么简单的道理现在的小崽子们怎么也不懂了呢？”鼠妈妈摇头无奈的样子。

熙莎掉到了地上，她看看四周，发现四周很陌生，她试着往前走了几步，发现了一把彩色的钥匙，她继续往前走，发现自己又回到了原来的那个地方，就在这时候她遇到了一个看起来很善良的老婆婆，熙莎问：“老婆婆，这里是哪啊？”老婆婆回答说：“唉，这里是迷宫国，这里的路复杂难走，我想你一定是外地人吧，走，去我家吧。”熙莎跟着老婆婆来到了老婆婆的家，老婆婆又对熙莎说：“我给你一张地图，你可千万别弄丢了，有时候你不知道路，这个可以帮上你大忙呢。”老婆婆一边说着一边把地图递给了熙莎，熙莎在老婆婆家吃过饭，谢了老婆婆，就出去继续赶路了。

从前有一群小动物，它们分别是龙、凤凰、孔雀、蝴蝶、鹿和马。有一天，它们发现一个有趣而又奇怪的东西。那个东西颜色非常鲜艳，而且像一个巨大的蝴蝶。
蝴蝶一直围着这个巨形蝴蝶转，还不停的念叨着：这个是我的同类吗？为什么它这么大呢？我应不应该跟它打招呼呢？为什么它见了我连一声也不说呢？而且居然一动也不动，它到底是什么东西呢？
其他动物一声不响的看着蝴蝶，等它下出结论来。可是它们看蝴蝶一直围着这个巨形蝴蝶转，就先发表了自己的意见。
龙说：我觉得咱们应该把它做成一件衣裳给我，这样你们就不会害怕我的鳞刮伤你们了。
鹿说：可是你身子太大，穿着就跟没穿一样，还不如给我做一双漂亮的角套呢！
鹿的话音刚落地就听马说：我整天跑来跑去还不如给我做四只小鞋子呢。
马说完后大家的.目光不约而同的投向了孔雀和凤凰，孔雀说：我觉得我们说不定可以放着玩，你们看，那上面有一根线，可以抓着线的一头来放着玩，凤凰也表示赞同。
这时候，蝴蝶才说：我们可以拿着玩。于是它们就开始玩这个游戏，一直玩到天黑它们都不想回家。
又玩了一会儿，鹿说：该回家了。于是龙说：把它放在我家吧。马说：不行，要不你把它做成衣裳怎么扮？还是放在孔雀家吧！大家都同意了，互相道了晚安后就回家了。
每当夜幕降临，让故事伴着孩子安然入睡，孩子在梦里幻想和故事中人物游戏的情景，是妈妈送给孩子最好的睡前礼物。
在媒体不发达的年代，小孩子童年能听到许许多多的睡前故事，都是爸爸妈妈或者爷爷奶奶亲自来讲述的。如今信息发达了，各种印刷产品和音像产品多如牛毛，妈妈讲故事的方式也在悄然发生着变化——讲得越来越多，更喜欢跟孩子一起看图讲故事，更在意故事的功利性目的，还有家长干脆用CD机放故事给孩子听。讲故事的形式变了，教育意义还一样吗？
睡前故事≠睡前功课
妈妈们都希望通过讲故事，可以增加孩子的词汇量、培养孩子对阅读的兴趣、丰富孩子的心灵、启发孩子的智慧，这些想法是好的，但睡前故事带着功利目的去讲，难免会侧重字词与知识的灌输，这样的睡前故事其实已经变成了睡前功课，是一种舍本逐末的做法。
故事的强大魔力，是很多成年人意识不到。真正好的睡前故事，不是让孩子增加知识量，也不是让孩子复述出某个情节，而是一种心与心之间、灵魂与灵魂之间爱的交流：故事从妈妈的内心流淌出来，像温暖甜蜜的泉水一样，流入孩子的内心，给他们的灵魂提供丰富的滋养。孩子的想象力、情绪，乃至道德感的发展都是从故事里来的，这些并不像会识几个字，懂得多少知识可以量化，容易看得到成果，它的养分是全面的、潜移默化的，会让孩子受用一生。
那晚，是一位亲戚来告诉，祖父的一位表妹去世了。
在所有人还没有来得及反应之前，祖父已经霍然站起：“死了？怎么会？怎么会？”蓦然觉得了自己的失态，旋身回房。家人尽皆偷笑。
于是那夜，他便知道了，祖父与表妹青梅竹马的童年，情窦初开的年少，带着表妹私奔6个月的石破天惊。到最后，他们还是被找回，表妹被远嫁，祖父仍然不得不接受指腹的姻缘。
而这些，都已经是60年前的事了。
来人是请祖父参加葬礼的。第二天早上，父亲想去和祖父商量的时候，祖父却已经练太极去了，房门洞开，桌上薄薄一张纸，上面墨色淡淡的5个字：“老来多健忘。”
既然祖父已经淡忘，那又何必帮他想起，父亲便回绝了来人，从此家中不提此事。
祖父过世的时候他已上大学，主修中文，大二时在图书馆里看白居易全集，正看得意兴索然。突然，仿佛惊雷般的一瞬，他看到了祖父当年写下的那句诗，而那句诗的全貌是：“老来多健忘，惟不忘相思。”
他僵在当地：竟然会是如此。原来祖父一直记得，60岁的烟尘岁月抵不过初恋女子的一抹笑容，让祖父在余生的每一寸光阴里深深铭记。而爱情究竟是什么，竟让80岁的老人仍然在刹那间动容，忘了时光的远走，只以为是红颜弹指老？
应该是身为人父和家长的尊严让祖父不能明白地表达自己的心意吧？当祖父写下那句诗的时候，他会是多么地希望他的儿孙能够读懂，今日，他终于懂得，可是一切都已经太晚了。
他只能，在心中一遍遍念着：“老来多健忘，惟不忘相思。”好像是念给天上的祖父听。

How should we do to protect the ozone layer? We can drive less, use less products containing CFCs, no radiation of appliances to buy .
To our planet, please protect the ozone layer. Hope that through our efforts, not to expand empty, and even to restore the original appearance of the earth more beautiful, more human health and longevity!

The book four sisters let me feel the different character and hobby, lis most of them are "Joe", her natural disposition is lively, not only to take care, and toughness of the relentless pursuit of life, which reflects her sentimental inner thoughts and the surface of the active performance of the contrast.
Among them, my favorite character is beth, because she very love for life, approachable, season in the critically ill still insist on writing, showed her unremitting efforts to the pursuit of a better life.
In winter vacation, I watched a movie called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is very interesting. Though I watched this movie before, I still felt moved this time. The movie is very famous, and won seven Oscar Awards. The plot is like following:
Long long ago, Snow White stayed happily with her parents. But the queen was jealous of Snow White and she sent the hunter to kill Snow White, but the hunter let Snow White escape. One day, the queen dressed up as an old farmer’s wife and gave Snow White a poisonous apple. Snow White ate the poisonous apple and felt into a deep sleep. The Seven Dwarfs was very sad and put her in a coffin. By and by, a prince saved Snow White and she woke up. They got married and lived happily.
I like this story. It tells us a truth: People like beauty and good. The wicked never kill the good! We are happy the prince and the princess were married and lived happily. We hope they can live forever!
