今天，我们五年级进行了英华好少年杯讲故事比赛。

主持人站在台上，宣布讲故事比赛的开始。我们个个喜气洋洋，心里有说不尽的开心。故事都是关于温良恭俭让的，可是，有一个故事我始终不能忘记。

那个故事是五（7）班的杨云涵讲的，名字叫做《三袋米的故事》，为什么它让我难忘呢？那是因为，这个故事使我哭了两次，当然是感动哭的。当时我忍不住想：“这个故事那么感人，一定会得个高分的。”我猜测的没错，她的故事得了第一名。因为我跟杨云涵是朋友，所以后来我得知，那天她是带着病去的。

我们班曲姿谕讲的是《注视的眼睛》，也让我感到很难忘。不过，评委却给了她很少的分，我认为她不应该只获这一点分。她那么深的情感，那么优美的语调，很令人对她刮目相看。

两节课的时间，我们的讲故事比赛结束了，希望下一次的讲故事比赛快点来。

“加油，加油……”这阵阵呐喊声是从哪儿传出来的呢？哦，原来是五年（3）班的同学正在进行激烈的讲故事比赛。

而我心里也痒痒的，急匆匆地报了名，准备一展我的风采。

比赛开始了，选手们都鼓足了劲，心里暗自较量，偷窥一下其他选手准备如何，以此来给自己壮胆儿，平复一下紧张的心情，如果两个眼神撞在一起，只会化作会心一笑。

主持人陈伊上场了，只见他拿起话筒，扯了扯嗓子为大家拉开了比赛的序幕。一号选手林铷铷上场了，她绘声绘色的讲起了自己搜集到的一则小故事，同学们听得很入迷，偶尔几个小声音传出来，也很快消失了。可她好像没什么底气，灰溜溜地回到了座位。此时的我已无暇细细品味了，呆会儿就该我上了。

主持人报到了我的名字，我从容地上了台，可谁又知道这时的我已经全身紧绷到极致了。我有声有色的讲着我找到的朱启南的故事，台下的“评委”——同学们，一声不发，我的心像是揣了只兔子砰砰的跳着。进行着内心的独白。台下响起了热烈的掌声，我慢慢平静下心中的紧张，在掌声的护拥下我结束了故事，回到自己的座位，还沉浸在比赛的氛围中，我急忙问同桌自己表现如何，陈佳慧露出酒窝：“你讲的很有感情，我的听入迷了。”听到这话，我的心稍微松了下来。不过下面的选手还不知道水平如何呢？我悬着心，细细听着他们的故事。

到了最紧张的时刻了，评委们改使出自己的选择权了，前两名同学可是能参加学校里的比赛，我一遍一遍的给自己加油打气，可不能自己给自己认输了喽！因为这次实行的无记名投票，自然少不了督票员、读票员和计票员了，读票员一遍遍的报出评委们的选择，很快我已经占领了十票。照这个势头发展下去，去参加比赛我是八九不离十了，可以想不到的事情发生了，陈伊、吕浩轩马上追平了我，人群沸腾了，顿时加油声、呐喊声炸成了一锅，我心里也打起了小算盘：陈伊是我们班班长，平时人缘挺好的，而吕浩轩是唯一的男选手，班上的男同学肯定都投他。可我又拿什么和人家比呢？关键的时候到了，现在读票员手里还有两票，陈伊、吕浩轩和我比分悬殊，谁拿了两票，就是最后的赢家，吕浩轩的呼声更高了，男同学们集体为吕浩轩加油，这是我默默打响了退堂鼓。奇迹发生了，最后两票居然是我的。我的心中向那雨后彩虹一样惊喜又快乐，尽管很多人对我发出了藐视，可我已经不屑于这些事物了。我呆在座位上，刚才的惊喜已经超出了我所容纳的范围，只能点滴消化，因为陈伊和吕浩轩分数持平，只能明天在对他们两个进行一场加时赛了。

激烈的讲故事比赛结束了，选手有的高兴，有的遗憾，而我也信心慢慢的对校级的比赛发出邀约。

今年四月到六月，我参加了20xx年“希望之星”英语风采大赛。这可是全国性的比赛哦！必须要闯过海选、市赛和省赛三关，才能去北京参加中央电视台的总决赛。

参加市赛的早上，我和妈妈坐车到了目的地。当时，太阳特别大，天特别热，而且人山人海。我们到了之后赶紧报到，接着就排队去比赛了。因为我是最后一个，等了好久才轮到我，裁判先让我抽图，准备看图说话，再自我介绍。我觉得自己前两个环节表现得挺好的，最后是回答问题，这个环节有点难，四个题中我只答出两个。紧接着裁判宣布结果，我心想：肯定有我！肯定有我！结果，真的有我！我拿了市赛一等奖，进入了省赛。

省赛的准备过程是非常艰难的，又是背台词，又是准备自我介绍，还有模拟考试。仅仅是看图说话环节，一训练就是一上午……

终于迎来了省赛。我怀着紧张的心情走进赛场，里面很安静，选手们都在努力地背词，我也不甘示弱。自我介绍环节，我们都做得非常好，看图说话环节就比较惨了，得知成绩后，我的心情非常低落，爸爸妈妈安慰我，要我别泄气，要我在下午最后一个环节加油，还特意给我复习了几遍演讲内容，我的心情又明朗起来。下午的比赛开始了，轮到我上场了，我站在台上，信心十足地完成了演讲，最后的分数还不错哦！

我的20xx年“希望之星”英语风采大赛结束了，虽然我没有踏上国赛舞台，但是我虽败犹荣！这个过程中，我见识到了那些高手们的厉害！我一定要好好学习英语！我一定会回来的！明年再战！

表演大师

有一位表演大师上场前，他的徒弟告诉他鞋带松了。大师点头致谢，蹲下来仔细系。

等到徒弟转身后，又蹲下来将鞋带解松。有个旁观者看到了这一切，不解地问：“大师，您为什么又要将鞋带解松呢？”大师回答道：“正因我饰演的是一位劳累的旅者，长途跋涉让他的鞋带松开，能够透过这个细节表现他的劳累憔悴。”“那你为什么不直接告诉你的徒弟呢？”“他能细心地发现我的鞋带松了，并且热心地告诉我，我必须要保护他这种热情的用心性，及时地给他鼓励，至于为什么要将鞋带解开，将来会有更多的机会教他表演，能够下一次再说啊。”

人一个时刻只能做一件事，懂抓重点，才是真正的人才。

After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he

ordered his son Hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.A charming young lady,she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her, and Epimetheus happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Pometheus warning: never to accept anything from Zeus.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask. One day, when Epimetheus was out, she lifted the lid and out it came unrest and war, Plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was hence to experience these evils. Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out. So men always have hope within their hearts.

偷窃天火之后，宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增。一天，他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎，因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物，因此宙斯称她为潘多拉。

宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容绝美，见者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠，而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活，但不久灾难却降临人间。

当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候，他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟

弟不要打开桶盖。潘多拉好奇心强。她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物，这使她感到十分懊恼。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外，她打开桶盖，从桶里跑出的是不和与战争，瘟疫与疾病，偷窃与暴力，悲哀与忧虑，以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被关在桶口，永远飞不出来，因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。

一只公寄居蟹找到了一只很大的空贝壳，便把贝壳清理干净，做成了自己的房子。有了房子的公寄居蟹很快找到了一只母寄居蟹，他们快乐地生活在这个大房子里。每一天他们出门，母寄居蟹就自由快乐地遨游，觅食，而公寄居蟹背着沉重的房子艰难地跟在母寄居蟹身后。母寄居蟹游一段路就要停下来等公蟹。这样的生活过了没多久，有一天母寄居蟹跟着一只无拘无束的龙虾一齐游走了，再也没有回来，而公寄居蟹无法丢下他沉重的房子，只能眼睁睁地看着母寄居蟹游远、游远、游远，渐渐消失，不见……

这个故事告诉我们：如果你有一所房子，那你泡妞的难度将降低。这个故事还告诉我们：如果你的房子成为了你的重负，那么你以后的生活将变得痛苦不堪。因此在决定是否分期买房的时候请先衡量一下得与失。

圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。 也传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称st.nicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。所以，西方人过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物

读了《夏洛的网》以后我认为威尔伯是幸运的，它找到了它生命中的知已。人这一生也许会交许多朋友，但什么样的人才是我生命中的知己呢？

费恩，一个纯真善良的小姑娘，在威尔伯患难的时刻，能够挺身而出，明哲保身，不落井下石，她可以称得上是威尔伯一生中的半个知己。

威尔伯是一只落脚猪，比普通猪小几倍，被人类认为是不会有出息的猪。在谷仓里认识了许多动物，但没有人跟它玩，它伤心、难过、狐独，它很想有一个朋友和它一起分享快乐，倾听它的苦闷。在它最需要帮助、最落魄的时候它有了一个真正的朋友——夏洛。

夏洛，一只小蜘蛛，它要捕捉、吃苍蝇，所以威尔伯认为它凶狠、殘忍、狡诈、嗜血。样样都不是它喜欢的，甚至怀疑这友谊是在冒险！但是在它生死攸关的时候，那个能与它肝胆相照，甚至不惜割舍自己来搭救它的朋友就是夏洛。夏洛在生命的最后对它的朋友威尔伯说：“因为我喜欢你，我为你结网。生命到底是什么啊？我们出生，我们活上一阵子，我们死去。通过帮助你，也许可以提升一点我生命的价值。谁都知道人活着该做一点有意义的事情。”做为知己朋友它那么深情，那么忠诚，那么有本事。

读到这里我又在想了，有时候其实别人没那么坏，是我们把人家想坏了。所以在生活中我们要学会以公正平和的心态去对待周围的每个人，在没弄清事情真相前，不要妄下定论。人的一生，酸、甜、苦、辣都有可能发生。这个感动了半个世纪的童话故事，同时也告诉了孩子们，要从小养成：有承受困难的心理准备，没有一个人一切都是顺利的；凡事都应以开明、随和、豁达。的心态去对待事物。

同时也反映出，人生只有在最困难、最失落，甚至是生死关头，才能看到谁才是你真正的知己。

所以很多人为什么在他功成名就以后，他的朋友看似很多，但他最看重的永远是他以前的那个共患难的老友。曾经在别人瞧不起他，不愿意理他。的时候，那个一直鼓励他、帮助过他的人应该就是他人生中的知己，“人生得一知已足矣”。

我们的这一生可以广交朋友，但必须对朋友真诚相待，我们绝不要苛求朋友也给我们同样的回报。真诚的对待自己的朋友，你会发现，与人为善是一件很幸福的事。

A对B说：“我要离开这个公司。我恨这个公司！”B推荐道：“我举双手赞成你报复！！破公司必须要给它点颜色看看。但是你此刻离开，还不是最好的时机。”

A问：为什么？B说：“如果你此刻走，公司的损失并不大。你就应趁着在公司的机会，拼命去为自己拉一些客户，成为公司独挡一面的人物，然后带着这些客户突然离开公司，公司才会受到重大损失，十分被动。”A觉得B说的十分在理。于是发奋工作，事遂所愿，半年多的发奋工作后，他有了许多的忠实客户。再见面时B问A：此刻是时机了，要跳赶快行动哦！A淡然笑道：老总跟我长谈过，准备升我做总经理助理，我暂时没有离开的打算了。

其实这也正是B的初衷。一个人的工作，永远只是为自己的简历。只有付出大于得到，让老板真正看到你的潜质大于位置，才会给你更多的机会替他创造更多利润。

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。

Helen Keller once wrote about these early days.

One beautiful spring morning I was alone in my room, reading. Suddenly a wonderful smell in the air made me get up and put out my hands . The spirit of spring seemed to be passing in my room. "What is it?"I asked. The next minute I knew it was coming from mimosa tree outside. I walked outside to the edge of the garden, toward the tree. There it was, shaking in the warm sunshine. Its long branches, so heavy with flowers, almost touched the ground. I walked through the flowers to the tree itself and then just stood silent. Then I put my foot on the tree and pulled myself up into it. I climbed higher and higher until I reached a little seat. Long ago someone had put it there. I sat for a long time... Nothing in all the world was like this.

Later Helen learned that nature could be cruel as well as beautiful. Strangely enough she discovery this in a different kind of tree.

One day my teacher and I were returning from a long walk. It was a fine morning but it started to get warm and heavy. We stopped to rest two or three times. Our last stop was under a cherry tree, a short way from our house. The shade was nice and the tree was easy to climb. Miss Sullivan climbed with me. It was so coot up in the tree, we decided to have lunch there. I promised to sit still until she went to the house for some food. Suddenly a change came over the tree. I knew the sky was black because all the heat which meant light to me had died out of the air. A strange odor came up to me from the earth . I knew it. It was the odor which always comes before a thunder storm. I felt alone, cut off from friends, high above the firm earth. I was frightened and wanted my teacher. wanted to get down from that tree quickly, but I was no help to myself. There was a moment of terrible silence. Then a sudden and violent wind began to shake the tree and its leaves kept coming down all around me. I almost fell. I wanted to jump, but was afraid to do so. I tried to make myself small in the tree as the branches rubbed against me. Just us I thought that both the tree and I were going to fall, a hand touched me . It was my teacher. I held her with all my strength, then shook with joy to feel the solid earth under my feet.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many year. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.

During her second year college Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what a college meant to her. This is what she wrote.

My first day at Radcliffe college was of great interest. Some powerful force inside me made me test my mind. I wanted to learn if it was as good as that of others. I learned many things at college. One thing I slowly learned was that knowledge does not just mean power, as some people say. Knowledge leads to happiness because to have it is to know what is true and real. To know what great man of the past had thought, said, and done is to feel the heartbeat of humanity down through the ages.

All of Helen Kellers knowledge reached her mind through her sense of touch and smell, and of course her feelings. To know a flower was to touch it, feel it and smell it. This sense of touch became greatly developed as she got older. She once said that hands speak almost as loudly as words. She said the touch of some hands frightened her. The people seemed so empty of joy that when she touched their cold fingers it is as if she were shaking bands with a storm. She found the hands of others full of sunshine and warmth. Strangely enough Helen Keller learned to love things she could not hear, music for example. She did this through her sense of touch. When waves of air beat against her, she felt them. Sometimes she put her hand to a singers throat. She often stood for hours with her hands on a piano while it was played. Once she listened to an organ. Its powerful songs made her moved her body in rhythm with the music. She also liked to go to museums. She thought she understood sculptures as well as others. Her fingers told her the true size and the feel of the material.

What did Helen Keller think of herself, what did she think about the tragic lost of her sight and hearing. This is what she wrote as a young girl.

Sometimes a sense of loneliness covers me like a cold mist. I sit alone, and wait at life s shut-door. Beyond there is light and music and sweet friendship. But I may not enter. Silence sits heavy upon my soul. Then comes hope with a sweet smile and said

softly " There is joy in forgetting oneself And so I tried to make the light in others eyes my sun, the music in others ears my symphony, the smile on others lips my happiness.

Helen Keller was tall and strong. When she spoke, her face looked very alive. It helped to give meaning to her words. She often felt the faces of close friends when she was talking to them to discover their feelings. She and Miss Sullivan both were known for their sense of humor. They enjoyed jokes and laughing at funny things that happened to themselves or others. Helen Keller had to work hard to support herself after she finished college. She spoke to many groups around the country. She wrote several books and she made one movie based on her life. Her main goal was to increase public interest in the difficulties of people with physical problems. The work Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great difficulties. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, blind herself. Before Miss Sullivan died, Helen wrote and said many kind things about her.

It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, her love which made my first years of education so beautiful. My teacher is so near to me that I do not think of myself as a part from her. All the best of me belongs to her. Everything I am today was awakened by her loving touch .

Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 year old. Her message of courage and hope remains.

唐僧、孙悟空经过许多磨难，到达西天，佛祖封他们为佛。孙悟空喜不自胜，向唐僧下拜道：“师父，请受我徒儿一拜，感谢你对我的信任，使我成了佛。”

唐僧双手合十，眼睛微闭，躬身答道：“应由我来感谢你对我的忠诚，阿弥陀佛！”但当他低头念完佛号，不觉抿嘴一笑。

没想到这细节被土地看到了。

土地问唐僧：“师父为什么对悟空发笑？”

唐僧回答说：“这猴头神通广大，现在又成了正果，其实根基还是很浅的。你要知道，我对他的信任，无非是那道紧箍咒；他对我的忠诚，也无非是那道紧箍咒。”

她长得不高不矮，面容清秀，樱桃小嘴，长发披肩，还有双会说话的眼睛，经常逗的我们哈哈大笑。

她才三十几岁，却有着丰富的知识，还会用一些英语说笑话，下课时她会带我们做游戏，给我们东西吃，因此我用英语给她取了个外号叫，“howlong”。

虽然平时龙老师这么幽默，但是一上课就像变了一个人似的，非常严肃，只要是她讲过的题，我们一而再，再而三的错，她就会大发雷霆，但是她一看我们的表情又会哈哈大笑。比如有一次一张试卷上的题要改否定句，一般疑问和特殊疑问句，我们班有13个人没做出来，一开始她发怒了，用马克笔和戒尺重重的敲在白板上，后来我们都会了她就笑了。

这就是我们的龙老师，我会永远记住她。

刘杰大学毕业后，进了交通局，在西关岗街当队长。

西关街街长1500米，双向四车道，中间被铁栅栏分开。街的尽头是六个万人大厂，每天上下班的时候，三四万职工一齐挤到街的一侧，人山人海，浩浩荡荡。几年来，这条路每天都得堵上几个小时。交警队一直想扩路，可苦于没有资金，一直拖到现在，成了局里的头号难题。

刘杰上了十天班后，拿着一份西关街街况报告找到警队的王局长。

王局长接过报告，问：“想改善西关街的交通，你有什么想法?”

刘杰伸出三根手指，对着王局长一晃，说道：“给我三万，我保证在一个月之内把西关街变成双向六车道!”

王局长顿时来了兴趣，忙问他具体方案，可问了半天，刘杰就是不讲，只是一个劲地说：“请领导相信我。”

王局长没办法，大笔一挥，给刘杰批了三万，说：“这个月我要到省里开会，希望我回来的时候，路况能有所改善!”刘杰拿着批款，连连点头。

怎么可能?王局长开完会，立即坐车赶回天水市，一看究竟。

当他来到西关街的时候，正赶上工人们上班，西关街上的工人比以前还多，可似乎不那么挤了。

王局长定睛一看，原来那排三里长的铁栅栏底下都装上了铁轱辘，上班的时候就往这边推过来一个车道，原来是这样的“双向六车道”啊。

指挥交通的刘杰也看到了王局长，他一路小跑，过来“啪”地给王局长敬了个礼：“请局长检查工作!”

王局长拍了拍刘杰的肩膀，叹了口气，说：“十年了，这么简单的办法我怎么就没想到呢，总说要扩道，其实最应该扩的就是我们的思想啊!”

春秋时期，卫国有个名叫哀骀（tai）它（tuo）的人，他的容貌虽然很丑陋，可不管是男人还是女人都非常喜欢和他交往，相处亲近随和，舍不得离去。有一些女人甚至说：“与其做别人的妻子，还不如做他的小妾。”

他一无权位二无财产，也没有什么高深的理论和显赫的功绩，可是外表粗陋、其貌不扬的这位丑人却受到几乎所有人的喜爱和赞美，这使得鲁国的鲁哀公惊异不已，于是就派人把他从卫国请回鲁国加以考察。相处不到一个月，鲁哀公觉得他在平淡中确有不少过人之处，不到一年，就很信任他了。不久，宰相的位置空缺，鲁哀公便让他上任管理国事，可他却淡淡然无心做官，虽在再三要求下参议了国事，但不久他还是谢辞了高位厚禄，回到他在卫国的陋室中去了。

对此，鲁哀公求教于孔子：“他究竟是怎样一种人呢？”孔子借喻道：“我曾经在楚国看见一群小猪在刚死的母猪身上吃奶，一会儿都惊恐地逃开了，因为小猪发现母猪已不像活着时那样亲切。可见小猪爱母猪不是爱它的形体，而是爱主宰它形体的精神，爱它内在的品性。哀骀它这个人虽然外表不美，但他的品德和才情等内在之美必定已超越一般人很多，所以您和许多人才喜欢他。”

这个故事告诉我们，只有内在的美才可靠长久，值得追求和尊崇。虽然外在的容貌、身材、风采和权位、财产等也很吸引人，可内在的品德、学识、才能和真诚、自信等给人的感受则更有魅力。

An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer. One day the dog arrogantly1 says: "How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…"

"Me? How about me ?" the ox says

"You can only plough or draw a cart," the dog slightly says. "Yes. Its true," the ox says. "But if I dont plough, what do you guard?"

一头牛和一只狗同时为一个农夫工作。狗骄傲地说着：“我是多么重要啊!白天我在牧场看护家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”

“我?我怎么啦?”

牛反问。“你只会犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地说。“是的。你说得没有错，”牛回答道。“但是如果没有我犁地，你看护什么呢?”

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
