兩 頭 驢
—By Keith
讀完下面的小故事你就會發(fā)現(xiàn):其實(shí)他人風(fēng)光的外表并非永遠(yuǎn)都像我們想的那樣.因此,我們無需羨慕別人的光彩,但也不要輕視他人的辛酸,盡情享受自己的人生才是真諦.
Once,there was a wild donkey and a tame1 donkey.
The wild donkey was thin and small.He spent his life outdoors.The grass on the hill was his food all the year around.Sometimes,he had to walk miles to find fresh water and at night there was always danger from wolves.The tame donkey was fat and strong.During summer he was fed on the rich grass while in winter he was given corn and hay to eat.There was always fresh water for him to drink and at night he was shut2 safely in a stable3.
The wild donkey always wished he could live like the tame donkey.
One day,the wild donkey was looking for grass on the hill.Looking down,he saw the tame donkey walking slowly along the road,carrying a heavy load of wood.As he watched,the tame donkey stopped to eat some grass by the roadside.Suddenly,his owner began to beathimwithastick4.
"I’ve changed my mind about your way of life,"thought the wild donkey."I see that you have to pay heavily for the food they give you."
