Long, long ago, a farmer thought the shoots in his fields were not growing fast enough. He wanted to help them.So he pulled every shoot up, then went home, feeling very tired but very satisfied. "Look, how great I an! I can think out such a good idea.From now on, my shoots will grow faster and faster," he thought. "I an very tired today," he said to his family, "Ive been helping the young shoots to grow."When his son heard this, he ran out to the fields to have a look.To his surprise, he found all the shoots weredead.

很久很久以前，一个农夫感觉他田里的幼苗长得不是很快，他想帮助它们。于是他就向上拔它们，然后回了家，虽然感觉很累但是却很满意。他默默地想：“瞧我多么的伟大，我能想出如此好的办法。从现在起，我的幼苗将会生长得越来越快。”于是他对家人说：“我今天累坏了，我在帮助幼苗生长。”当他的儿子听到这话，便匆忙跑到地里去看。让他吃惊的是，他发现所有的幼苗都死了。

今天，晨会课上我们教室里非常安静，只听见写字的”沙沙”声，其它的说话声、吵闹声都荡然无存。忽然，广播响了，原来的安静气氛一下子全没有了，同学们全都七嘴八舌地议论起来。原来，我们学校四年级八班有一个品学兼优的学生不幸得了白血病，医疗费用要四十多万。这对那户人家来说简直是一个天文数字，所以学校发动大家都来捐款，拯救这一个学生。

放学回家，我就直奔自己的小房间拿起了储蓄罐把里面的钱全部倒了出来。我数了一数，有二十元。我想就把这些节约下来的零用钱全部捐献出去吧!虽然，我的二十元钱是那样的微不足道，但是这也是我的一份心意呀!要是大家都损二十元，那就不是一个小数目了。我相信我们损的钱一定可以帮助她解决一些困难。

第二天早上，我拿着钱早早来到学校，耐心等待捐献的那一刻的到来。很快晨会课就开始了，我们就从低年级开始排着队伍来到捐款箱前捐款。同学们一个接着一个把钱放进了捐款箱内。每一个人损完款走下来，台下马上会爆发出一阵掌声。当轮到我的时候，我迅速拿出二十元钱快步走到前面，看准捐款箱的入口，将二十元钱投入箱中。顿时台下又爆发了一阵热烈的掌声。我觉得十分开心，笑着奔下台。 这掌声一直在我的心中徘徊。我觉得它比任何歌声都要好听。

后来，一些同学又将一张张人民币投入箱中。最后经过计数，一共有一万多元。我想这对于四十万来说还是比较少的，但这是我们大家的一点心意。我相信那位同学知道以后一定会非常开心。

随着下课铃声的响起，捐款活动也结束了。

我在离开会场的时候，心中默默祝愿那位学生能够早日摆脱病魔，早日身体康复。

The gorillas in the valleys in the south often lived together in groups of several tens. They were fond of drinking wine, and even fonder of imitating mans behavior.

People knew very well their habits and often put wine or distillers grains on the roadside together with many straw sandals connected together with ropes.

The gorillas knew this was a trick to lure3 them into traps and cursed:"Humph! Do you think we dont know your tricks? Well never be taken in!"

So they called one another, turned round and left.

But they had already smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldnt bear to part with it. Even after they left, they would turn their heads to look back. When they saw no one there, they would turn back; and after they turned back, they were afraid of being deceived, and left again. After much hesitation5, they finally said to themselves: "Just for a taste of the wine. It wont matter as long as we dont get drunk."

Shortly afterwards, they agreed to come back to drink the wine. When they got drunk, they forgot everything. Every gorilla1 put on the straw sandals and imitated the way man walks.

As a result, they fell down one after another and were all caught alive by people.

忘乎所以

南方山谷里的猩猩，常常数十成群地生活在一起。它们喜欢喝酒，更喜欢模仿人的行为。

人们掌握了它们的习性，经常把酒或酒糟放在路边，旁边又放着许多草鞋，草鞋用绳索连接起来。

猩猩知道这是人们引诱它们上当，便破口大骂：“哼!你们以为我们不知道吗?我们决不上你们的当!”

于是，互相招呼，回头就走。

但是，它们已经闻到了酒香，总有点恋恋不舍，就是走了，也要回过头来望望。回头望不见人，便又转过来;转过来了又怕上当，再返身回去。犹豫了好久，它们最后自言自语地说：“去尝尝味道，不喝醉就不碍事。”

不一会儿，大家同意了，都回来喝酒。等到喝醉的时候，它们一切都忘记了，一个个穿上草鞋，学着人走路。

结果，一个个都跌倒了，统统被人活捉。

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. That‘s why I picked it; here, it‘s for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was an old fisherman in Wuling. One day, he took his boat out to go fishing. As the boat floated downstream, the fisherman lost his way. Suddenly, a beautiful forest of peach trees with flowers in full bloom caught his eyes. He carried on sailing to the end of the forest where he found a mountain with a small cave at its foot. After the fisherman walked through the cave, a new world opened up before him. The people seemed happy and gentle, and lived peaceful lives with no arguments or disputes. The old rested quietly while the young played happily. Unlike the world东晋年间，武陵有一个老渔夫。一天，他驾着渔船出去打鱼。船沿着溪水行驶，老渔夫不知怎么迷了路。忽然，一片美丽的桃花林出现在他眼前。渔夫觉得很奇怪，继续往前寻找桃花林的尽头。树林的尽头是一座山，山脚下有个小洞。渔夫穿过了山洞，竟然看到了另外一个世界。

outside the cave, there was no conflict or turbulence. When they saw the fisherman, the people asked him not to tell others what he had seen there.那里的人们过着幸福安宁的生活，大家和睦相处，没有纷争，老人们安静地休息，儿童愉快地玩耍，没有外界那样动荡不安。大家看见了老渔夫，嘱咐他不要把在那儿看到的一切告诉别人。

But when he got home the fisherman told the other villagers about his experiences. They did not really believe him but followed him back to the cave out of curiosity. But he never found the place again.渔夫回到了家，把整件事告诉了村庄里的人。大家都不相信，于是跟着他去看看到底有没有这个地方。可是，这次去他们再也找不到桃花林尽头的这个世界了。

Human growth is a process of experimentation， trial， and error ultimately leading to wisdom。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action， you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out。 Sometimes you are victorious， and sometimes you become disillusioned。

The failed experiments， however， are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful； in fact， you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success"。

If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations， you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong—doer。 However， perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame， and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming。 Therefore， forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself。

Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt。 There are four kinds of forgiveness。

The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself。

The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another。

The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself。 This is for serious transgressions， the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics， you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior。 In such a case， you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself。

This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse； but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy， and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics。

The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another。 At some time of our life， you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible。 However， harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood。 Under such a circumstance， you should force yourself to see the bigger picture， by so doing， you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment。

It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory。 when you can finally release the situation， you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth。

我的身边曾发生乐很多爱心故事，其中有一件事，我永远记在心中：一天我见了一个老人，看起来有八十多岁，在街上走着走着摔倒乐，一个年轻人慢吞吞地走过，见了，想：哼，自己爬起来吧！老人对年轻人说：“孩子，帮帮我吧！”“我在赶路没时间，自己爬起来吧！我走了！”年轻人说。语气有些高，一听就知道，他很不乐意帮老人。又一个年轻人飞跑着过来，一看就知道他在赶路，而他却停下了步伐，问老人：“老先生，请问您需要什么帮助吗？”老人很惊奇地说：“既然你赶赶……路，为什么还要停下……来，咳咳，理我呢？”“你要去哪儿？”年轻人很直接。“去同福中路……，咦，这……这和你去赶路又……有什么关系呢？”年轻人二话不说，扶起老人后，又背起他，走向同福中路。

可是，晴朗的蓝天忽然下起大雨，一定事老天也在考验年轻人了。他们躲到了树下，在旁边观看的我和妈妈也躲到了树下，我们母女只有一把伞，而我在母亲手中抢到了伞，妈妈却只能用衣服遮着。年轻人却把自己身上的外套盖在老人身上，身上的毛线衣也盖在他的腿上，抱着他继续走向同福中路，我也不由自主地把伞交给了母亲……

身边又很多类似的爱心小故事，这些故事都很小很小，含义却很深很深；哪怕这件小事只有几分钟，哪怕只有一句话，只要别人得到了，就会感激不尽，有些感激不再嘴上，却在心上，你也会因此而得到快乐……

It happened that the cat met Mr. Fox in the woods. She thought, "He is intelligent and well experienced, and is highly regarded in the world," so she spoke to him in a friendly manner, "Good-day, my dear Mr. Fox. How is it going? How are you? How are you getting by in these hard times?"

The fox, filled with arrogance, examined the cat from head to feet, and for a long time did not know whether he should give an answer. At last he said, "Oh, you poor beard-licker, you speckled fool, you hungry mouse hunter, what are you thinking? Have you the nerve to ask how I am doing? What do you know? How many tricks do you understand?"

"I understand but one," answered the cat, modestly.

"What kind of a trick is it?" asked the fox.

"When the dogs are chasing me, I can jump into a tree and save myself."

"Is that all?" said the fox. "I am master of a hundred tricks, and in addition to that I have a sackful of cunning. I feel sorry for you. Come with me, and I will teach you how one escapes from the dogs."

Just then a hunter came by with four dogs. The cat jumped nimbly up a tree, and sat down at its top, where the branches and foliage completely hid her.

"Untie your sack, Mr. Fox, untie your sack," the cat shouted to him, but the dogs had already seized him, and were holding him fast.

"Oh, Mr. Fox," shouted the cat. "You and your hundred tricks are left in the lurch. If you been able to climb like I can, you would not have lost your life."

一只猫在森林里遇到一只狐狸，心想：“他又聪明，经验又丰富，挺受人尊重的。”於是它很友好地和狐狸打招呼：“日安，尊敬的狐狸先生，您好吗?这些日子挺艰难的，您过得怎么样?”

狐狸傲慢地将猫从头到脚地打量了一番，半天拿不定主意是不是该和它说话。最后它说：“哦，你这个倒霉的长着鬍子、满身花纹的傻瓜、饥肠辘辘地追赶老鼠的傢伙，你会啥?有甚么资格问我过得怎么样?你都学了点甚么本事?”

“我只有一种本领。”猫谦虚地说。

“甚么本领?”狐狸问。

“有人追我的时候，我会爬到树上去藏起来保护自己。”

“就这本事?”狐狸不屑地说，“我掌握了上百种本领，而且还有满口袋计谋。我真觉得你可怜，跟着我吧，我教你怎么从追捕中逃生。”

就在这时，猎人带着四条狗走近了。猫敏捷地窜到一棵树上，在树顶上蹲伏下来，茂密的树叶把它遮挡得严严实实。

“快打开你的计谋口袋，狐狸先生，快打开呀!”猫冲着狐狸喊道。可是猎狗已经将狐狸扑倒咬住了。“哎呀，狐狸先生，”猫喊道，“你的千百种本领就这么给扔掉了!假如你能像我一样爬树就不至於丢了性命了!”

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich mans house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

Covering Ones Ears While Stealing a Bell

掩耳盗铃

Mr. Wang thinks he is clever, but he always does [en]foolish

things.[/en]

王先生总以为自己很聪明，实际上他总干傻事。

One day he sees a beautiful bell at the top of a door. "Oh! How nice! I will take it home." He thinks, "What can I do?" After a while he has a "good" idea. "Aha! I have an idea now. I can plug my ears. Then I will not hear the ring when I take off the bell."

一天，他看见一户人家的门头有个很漂亮的铃铛。"啊，真漂亮啊!我要把它拿回家去。"他自言自语道："我该怎么做呢?"过了一会儿他想到了一个"好"主意。"啊哈!我有办法了!我把耳朵堵上，拿铃铛的时候就听不见铃声了。"

Then he does so. But as soon as he takes off the bell, the owner opens the door. "What are you doing?" the owner says angrily.

于是他就这样做了。可是他刚拿下铃铛，屋子的主人就打开门，怒气冲冲地说："你在干什么?"

【成语来源】

At the time when Fan, a nobleman of the state of Jin, became a fugitive, a commoner found a bell and wanted to carry it off on his back.

春秋时侯，晋国贵族智伯灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西，看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的，造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了，想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。

But the bell was too big for him.

可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。

[/en]When he tried to knock it into pieces with a hammer there was a loud clanging sound. [/en]

他想来想去，只有一个办法，那就是把钟敲碎，然后再分别搬回家。小偷找来一把大锤，拼命朝钟砸去，咣的一声巨响，把他吓了一大跳。

He was afraid that someone will hear the noise and take the bell from him, so he immediately stopped his own ears.

小偷着慌，心想这下糟了，这种声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗?他越听越害怕，不同自由地抽回双手，使劲捂住自已的耳朵。

To worry about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but to worry about himself hearing the noise (as if stopping his own ears would prevent other people from hearing) is absurd.

“咦，钟声变小了，听不见了!”小偷高兴起来，“妙极了!把耳朵捂住不住就听不进钟声了吗!”他立刻找来两个布团，把耳朵塞住，心想，这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来，一下一下，钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。

印度前国会议员梅农，出身贫寒，当年他初到新德里时，刚下火车，便遭贼窃，身上所有钱财被洗劫一空。绝望中，他求助一位素不相识的老人，向老人借了15卢比，为了日后还钱他询问老人的住址。老人对梅农说：“在你有生之年，可以把这15卢比送给任何一个有求于你的陌生人。”梅农始终记得老人的话，直到逝世，他对任何一个有求于他的陌生人，他都提供15卢比的帮助。后来，他的助手也效仿他的做法，去帮助别人。再后来，他的助手的儿子也学着他们的样子去帮助别人。一位接受过他们帮助的人，把此事写成文章，发表在一本杂志上。这个把爱心传递到社会的故事，便流传得更广了。

因为爱心，流浪的人们才能重返家园；因为爱心，疲惫的灵魂才能活力如初。渴望爱心，如同星光渴望彼此辉映；渴望爱心，如同世纪之歌渴望永远被唱下去。

爱，一个普遍的词，马路边，学校里，医院里，世界的每一个角落都充满了爱心。每天早晨经过我们新村偏门时，都会看见一个满头白发，身着普通衣物，留着短胡子但声音洪亮的老爷爷站在路边，指挥着交通的正常运行。老爷爷不论刮风下雨还是烈日当空，也不顾家人的反对，每天都会手拿一面小黄旗，脖子上挂着一个小哨子来为大家疏通道路。

一日，因为睡懒觉，我起得晚了点儿，一看时间，才知道不好，连忙刷牙洗脸，抓了个面包就和爸爸一起冲出家门。刚坐上电瓶车，车子就如离弦之箭一样冲出去。这时，我明显感到了一个紧急刹车，我身子往前一冲，立刻反应过来，探头一看。嗬，好家伙，又堵车了。这时，老爷爷从暗处走了出来，站在马路边，清了清嗓子，高声喊道：“出去的靠右行，进来的靠左走，分两列队伍！”经过一番调整，车子又缓缓地行驶起来，我们夹在人群中，也随着人流出了新村的大门。

坐在爸爸的电瓶车上，我不时回头张望，望着老爷爷越来越模糊的身影，我心里百感交集：这是老爷爷对交通、对社会的一种责任感的表现，更是一种爱的表现，如果没有他的指挥，不知会堵到何时，说不定上学也会迟到呢！

[爱心故事作文

我的爸爸是一名教师，他平时工作非常忙。但是，他依然每天都细心的照顾我。这些天，我迷上了吃汉堡，经常在麦当劳和雄州买汉堡吃。爸爸认为外面的汉堡不健康，就花大价钱给我买健康的材料回家自己做汉堡。每天天还没亮，我还在呼呼大睡的时候，爸爸就已经起来给我做早饭了。他做早餐的时候非常忙碌，左手煎肉饼，右手给我热牛奶，还要准备奶酪、生菜等材料。每次都是爸爸做好了汉堡以后，才肯叫醒我。当我来到餐桌前的时候，都能看见爸爸辛辛苦苦给我做的汉堡摆在盘子里，静静等待着我去吃掉它。可是，我不忍心吃掉它，因为它非常漂亮。在金黄色的汉堡胚里夹着棕色的肉饼、奶黄色的芝士片、红色的番茄酱和绿色的青菜，看起来像一件精美的艺术品。可是一闻道那诱人的香味，我就忍不住了。

虽然我吃汉堡的时候，觉得跟外面的味道不大一样，但是，我吃到了一种特殊的味道，那就是爸爸的爱，这种味道在外面是永远买不到的。

导语：他将整个人生都献给了孤儿，为贫民的教育呕心沥血，这种无私的精神是高尚，伟大的。

裴斯泰洛齐(Johan Heinrich Pestalozzi，1746--1827)是19世纪瑞士著名的民主主义教育家。他热爱教育事业的奉献精神，对教育革新的执着追求，在教育理论上许多独创的论述，不仅为世界教育发展作出了重要贡献，而且为一切教育工作者树立了一个令人十分崇敬的形象。

早年受卢梭教育思想的影响，放弃神学研究，38岁开始从事一项教育贫苦儿童的计划，让学童一面纺织一面学习，以培养他们的自立能力。他深信每个人都有与生俱来的发展机能和受教育的平等权利。这项计划最后终于失败了，只是取得了一些宝贵的经验。由于自己的理想无法实现，他就转而从事写作。

1798的，瑞士爆发了资产阶级革命，建立了海尔维第(瑞士)共和国。在斯坦兹城，由于贵族和天主教教士的煽动，爆发了农民暴动，政府从法国借兵进行镇压，受到顽强抵抗。法军大肆烧杀，祸及无辜，斯坦兹城遭到了空前的浩劫，留下了111个老人和169个孤儿，还有237个儿童无家可归。

新政府决定在斯坦兹成立孤儿院，裴斯泰洛齐谢绝了友人所荐的高官厚禄，于12月5日毅然接受了政府的委托，负责孤儿院工作。当时他很兴奋，说道：“我为实现我一生的梦想，不惜牺牲一切，我的热情达到了那样的程度，几乎可以说：只要让我开始工作，即使在阿尔卑斯山的最高峰上，没有火、没有水的地方，都是可以的。”

裴斯泰洛齐到斯坦兹以后，把修道院改成孤儿院，收容了80个(此数由政府规定)孤儿，这些孤儿“大部分患有严重的疥癣，无法行走，头上长满溃烂的脓疮，身上穿着生满虱子的破烂衣服。个个面黄肌瘦，牙齿暴露，深锁愁眉，并以猜疑的目光望着人。头额上的皱纹充分表现了他们饱经忧患与疑虑的生涯。有的养成虚伪等恶习，难以纠正;有的受悲惨环境的折磨，虽然表面意志坚定，却猜疑、冷酷、胆怯……;懂得ABC的，十个中无法找到一个。”面对贫儿的这般境况，一般人早就会望而却步;裴斯泰洛齐却迎难而上，一心扑在了工作上。

除雇用一名妇女做饭以外，裴斯泰洛齐承担了孤儿院的一切工作。象慈父一样，他以极大的耐心和高度的责任感，把整个心灵献给了孤儿。他说;“从早到晚我一直生活在他们中间……，我的手牵着他们的手，我的眼睛注视着他们的眼睛，我随着他们流泪而流泪，随着他们微笑而微笑，他们不知有世界、有斯坦兹，只知道跟我形影不离。他们的饮食就是我的饮食。我没有家园、没有朋友、没有仆人，只有他们……，晚上我最后一个就寝，睡在他们中间，陪他们祈祷、读书，一直到他们睡着;早上我最早起床，替他们换洗脏衣服，并给他们洗涤身上的污垢。”

这位慈父以孤儿院为家，视孤儿们为亲儿子，在这个大家庭里，他充分发扬民主，培养孤儿们的道德习惯，并提高他们读、写、算的能力。

战乱再次降临了。1799年6月8日孤儿院被迫关闭(被法军征为野战医院)。裴斯泰洛齐为此声泪俱下，但无济于事。他因伤心与劳累过度，以致吐血。

裴斯泰洛齐在功成名就、成为世界名人之时，竟不顾高官厚禄的诱惑，以其崇高的品质，把整个心灵和爱心都献给了孤儿，为贫民的教育事业呕心沥血，这种无私的情怀，这种伟大的精神是常人无法理解的。

人们自从自己从妈妈的肚子里“呱呱”落地的时，心灵都是纯洁、善良、美好的，都是拥有着爱，都被别人爱着。我就曾经亲眼看见过一件“爱”的感动故事……

一个阳光明媚的星期天，奶奶给我了十块钱，叫我自己用来买零食吃。我一蹦三“丈”高，飞快地跑出了家门，奔向食品店了去。在十字街路口里，围着一大群人，我十分好奇，便怀着好奇心，凭着个头小，左挤右闯地钻到里面。看到了一位戴着眼镜，身怀孩子，挺着大肚的阿姨跪在街头乞讨。在她跪前有着一张纸，上面大概内容就是说：她是乡下里面的一位教师，自己的老公在这座城市里开车赚钱，不幸被酒后司机的大卡车给撞倒了。现在在医院里，但是需要一笔资金，所以在街上向各位好心人乞讨。

我看完后，想把我的钱捐献给他，但是她衣衫整齐，衣冠楚楚，有想到现代社会的骗子十分多，万一她是骗子，是骗人的呢?但又看到她跪前的照片、结婚照，不禁有思考起来。但我实在是太喜欢吃零食了，又舍不得把十块钱全部给她。我咬紧牙关，直咽口水，肚子里的谗虫更是让我犹豫不决。我又想先用十块钱买了零食后，再把剩下的钱给这为阿姨，但又觉得不好意思。经过最后的思索后，还是选择买了零食吃。

我刚要进零食商店的时候，看见一位脚断了的残疾老人，拄着拐杖，从身上缓缓地拿出一个手帕，那个手帕十分陈旧，里面的东西被重重地包裹着。老人小心翼翼地打开手帕，从那里面取出一张显目的100元的钞票递给阿姨，然后欣慰地笑了。阿姨接过钱连忙说谢谢!

我飞快地跑到阿姨那里，把手中紧捏的十块钱递给了阿姨……

有一位单身女子刚搬了家，她发现隔壁住了一户穷人家，一个寡妇与两个小孩子。有天晚上，那一带忽然停了电，那位女子只好自己点起了蜡烛。没一会儿，忽然听到有人敲门。原来是隔壁邻居的小孩子，只见他紧张的问：“阿姨，请问你家有蜡烛吗?”女子心想：“他们家竟然穷到连蜡烛都没有吗?千万别借他们，免得被他们依赖上了”!于是，对孩子吼了一声说：“没有”!正当她准备关上门时，那穷小孩展开关爱的笑容说：“我就知道你家一定没有”!说完，竟从怀里拿出两根蜡烛，说：“妈妈和我怕你一个人住又没有蜡烛，所以我带两根来送你”。

此刻女子自责、感动得热泪盈眶，将那小孩子紧紧地抱在怀里。

乡村真美。此时正值夏季，田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上，广阔的树林围绕着

田野和草地，树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊，在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围，茂盛的

叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长，延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大，小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。

在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中，她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。

终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。 “吱，吱！”小鸭们叫着。“呱，呱！”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊！”小鸭子异口同声道。

The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still

green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.

There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat.

Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the waters edge.

Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck.

" How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

但最大的蛋依旧在那儿，于是她又再坐回她的巢中。

一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说：“喂！你近来可好吗？”坐着的母鸭回答说：“这枚蛋花了很长的时间，

壳偏偏还不裂开，不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子，他们很像他们的爸爸。”

年长的鸭子说：“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋，你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上！我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错，那是火鸡的蛋！

你最好不要管它，去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”

“我要再多坐一会儿。”

But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

"let me look at the egg which wont crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkeys egg!

I have been cheated like that once. Yes. its a turkeys egg!

You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

"I will sit on it a little longer."

终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑！她说：“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子，其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。

他会是火鸡的孩子吗？我会尽快查清楚，我将叫他下水去。”

隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。

她跳入水中，“呱，呱，”她说，小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。

这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去，她说：“不是的，那不是火鸡。呱，呱！现在跟我来，我将带你们去参观这个世界，

要一直靠近我并小心猫！”第一天过去了，一切都还顺利。

At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said,

" None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkeys chick?

I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me

and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!"

The first day passed, and everything was fine.

之后，事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰，因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他，母鸡们啄他，

而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走，不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。

他双疲倦又痛苦，因此他整晚都在那里。

早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说：“你长得非常丑，但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天，

然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候，他听到“砰！砰！”的声音，那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。

对这只可怜的小鸭子来说，那是一项很可怕的冲击。

Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.

The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us."

He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came.

Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边，离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿，继续往前走，没有碰他。

这只小鸭叹息说：“哦，谢谢老天爷！我是这么丑，因此连狗都不会咬我！”

晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好，以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。

她说：“要是我有了鸭蛋，我就发财了，”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期，但他并没有下蛋。

这只猫是这间房子的主人，而这只母鸡是女主人。

A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!"

sighed the duckling.

In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen.

Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.

"I will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said.

So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.The cat was the master of the house

and the hen was the mistress.

母鸡说：“你能不能下蛋呢？”

小鸭回答说：“不能。”

这只猫说：“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。

有一天晚上，太阳刚刚下山，此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。

小鸭心想：“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”

"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

"No," answered the duckling.

"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

The duckling thought," Ive never seen anything so beautiful."

他们有长长的脖子，全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅，他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。

冬天非常地寒冷刺骨，因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。

太阳又开始温暖地照耀着，云雀在歌唱，美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀， 而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大，

不知不觉中，他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里，花园里的苹果树开满了花，紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。

就在他的面前，他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。

They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans.

He did not know what the birds were.

The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come.

Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in

full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎，因为我长得非常丑。

不过没有关系，我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”

因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去，他们看到他就向他冲过来。

“杀死我吧，噢，杀死我吧！”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头，等待死亡的来临。

但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢？

"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly.

But it doesnt matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens."

So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling,

and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鸟，他竟然是一只天鹅！

有些小孩手拿玉米和面包来到这个花园，将这些东西投入水中。

个子最小的那个孩子兴高采烈地大叫：“有一只新来的天鹅。”其他的孩子大叫：

“对啊！来了一只新的。”

他对着自己说：“当我是那只丑小鸭的时候，我从来也没梦想过我能够这么快乐！”

He was himself a swan!

Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one."

The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

He said to himself,

" I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"

记得是十五年前，读高中时，家里特穷，我在县城读书。从家里带的菜，只管到星期二，夏天管的时间更短。没有青菜吃，更不用说吃肉了。在这期间，我领略了贫穷的滋味。可就在这期间，我也发现了人间的温情。我的一个叔叔住在县城里，但家庭条件也不好。可是，他家却为我提供了一个较好的条件，就是我从家里带菜，像土豆、萝卜、黄瓜、白菜等。当我吃完了从家里带的菜后，他家就给我炒菜吃，三年，我几乎每个星期都能吃到青菜，有时，叔叔还会留我在他家吃一顿肉，让我度过了那些艰难的日子，后来，一想起这段日子，就觉得温馨无比，让我深深体会到：爱会给人留下的美好回忆。

去年暑假，爸爸妈妈带我去苏州、杭州旅游，一路上我们游览了很多著名的景点，玩得特别开心。

苏州有一个园林非常漂亮，园林门口有一大片绿绿的草坪，我看见了就跑进去拍照，妈妈赶紧叫我出来，对我说：“你不要去草坪上拍照片，你把小草踩疼了，你的一脚可就是小草的一生啊。”听了妈妈的话，叔叔阿姨都不去草坪里拍照了，是妈妈保护了小草。

到了园林里面，我看见了许多鲜花，那些花散发着阵阵香味，千姿百态的，有的张开了笑脸，有的还没盛开、还有的是花骨朵。我们都被迷住了，我想摘一朵，妈妈看见了，拉住我的手说：“要爱护花草，你去摘花，花会疼的。园子里的花是给大家观赏的，你摘一朵，他摘一朵，不就看不成了吗。花是有生命的，摘下来就死了。”我只好连忙缩回了手，以后我再也不随便摘花了。

花草也是小生命啊！我们大家都来爱护花草吧！

三国时期，刘备和孙权联合起来攻打曹操。蜀国的军师诸葛亮和东吴的都督周瑜经常在一块儿商量军情。

可是，东吴的都督周瑜心地狭窒窄，不能容忍诸葛亮比自己高明，认为诸葛亮日后一定是东吴的大祸害，就想设计害死他。

有一天，周瑜请诸葛亮前来议事。他请诸葛亮在十天之内造出十万枝箭，诸葛亮说只需三日。果然，诸葛亮神机妙算，算出三日后必有大雾，不但用“草船借箭”的方法从曹操那里得了箭，还估计出一共得箭多少枝。

诸葛亮轻摇羽扇潇洒地对鲁肃说：“你有所不知啊，我方才静听舱外箭雨之声，心中默数，算来此次曹贼所赠之箭应有一十二万五千一百一十一枝！”

鲁肃听得张口结舌，心中暗想：“这人莫非神仙下凡？”

不一会儿，小卒进来禀报，共得箭一十二万五千一百枝。

鲁肃顿时大惊失色，诸葛亮虽多算了十一枝箭，但预算能精确到百位，却也非凡人可以企及的。鲁肃正要恭维一番，却见诸葛亮面色凝重，便不敢出声，想来他是为误差十一枝箭而懊恼。

诸葛亮严肃地对小卒说：“你们仔细清点了吗？”

在小卒眼里，诸葛亮就是神仙，见他脸色难看，吓得扑通跪下：“回禀先生确定细细清点了，不敢有分毫差错。”

鲁肃严厉地对小卒喝道：“再去重新清点，检查一下船舷等处有没有查漏之箭。有错漏者军法从事！”

小卒应声下去了。

鲁肃诚恳地对诸葛亮说：“十二万多枝箭，先生只漏数了十一枝，我已经很佩服。偶有一两枝没有戳稳的箭落入水中也是难免的。先生何必这么严格地要求自己呢？”

小卒再次来禀报，经过核实，仍旧只有一十二万五千一百枝箭。

诸葛亮看着小卒的背影，长叹一声，坐倒在舱板上，神色很难看，好久没有说话。快到东吴水寨时，诸葛亮像突然想起了什么似的，对着鲁肃深深地鞠了一个大躬。

鲁肃连忙起身还礼，说：“先生为什么对我行这么大的礼啊？”

诸葛亮说：“我有一事相求，听声数箭一事，请代为保密，不要外传，我感激不尽。”

鲁肃说：“先生真是个诚实的人啊！仅数差十一枝箭，在一般人看来已经是神仙一样高明了，您却为这件事感到惭愧，鲁肃佩服先生的为人，替先生保密就是。”

鲁肃果然是诚信君子，听声数箭的事从未对任何人讲过。因此，历史上只有“草船借箭”而没有“听声数箭”的记录。
