马云名人故事

全文共 2141 字

+ 加入清单

据说他是一个让人疯狂的人。他每年会在全球10所大学演讲,他曾在哈佛讲台上与诺基亚总裁激烈辩论,最终赢得了台下1000多名听众长时间的起立鼓掌。

他是一个善于创造奇迹的人,全球商人热烈地追捧他。他的网站阿里巴巴两次被哈佛、斯坦福商学院选为MBA案例,掀起全美研究热潮。阿里巴巴从1999年成立至今,全球十几种语言400多家媒体对它的追踪报道从未间断,并连续第5次被《福布斯》评选为全球最佳B2B网站,其排名甚至领先于全球电子商务巨擘亚逊!这个人是马云。

骗子马云的穷人世界

和所有的互联网精英不一样,马云从小就没有生活在顶尖的那部分人当中,他活在平常的普通人当中。马云称自己脑子笨,从小功课就不好,数学考过1分,只有英语特别好。不仅没有上过一流的大学,连小学、中学都是三四流的。所以,马云一直对员工说,如果光看IQ,世界上有70%的人都可以获得成功!

而1995年他开创企业黄页网站,每天出门对人讲互联网的神奇,请人家心甘情愿同意付钱把企业的资料放到网上去。没有人相信他,1995年的杭州,人们不知道互联网是什么东西。在那段时间里,马云过的是一种被人视为骗子的生活。

有人在杭州的大排档里见到马云。马云喝得微醺,十足一个跟一大帮人神侃瞎吹的小市民。在他身上完全看不到杭州人的安静和从容。但是,马云的网站为上网的企业带来了客户,他的网站盈利了。

在中国互联网大潮风高浪急之时,马云开始有了自己的想法。他决定做一个和世界上所有电子商务网站不同的B2B网站,他不做那15%大企业的生意,只做85%中小企业的生意,“如果把企业也分成富人穷人,那么互联网就是穷人的世界。”马云在接受某媒体采访时如是说,在网上,对大企业和小企业的服务收费是一样的,他要为互联网服务模式带来一次革命!

是远见还是狂妄?

1999年初,他为网站起了一个众所周知代表财富的域名“阿里巴巴”,然后他对他的团队说:“我要回杭州创办一家自己的公司,从零开始。愿意回去的,只有500元工资;愿意留在北京的,可以介绍去收入很高的雅虎和新浪。”他说用3天时间给他们考虑,但不到5分钟,伙伴们一致决定:“我们回杭州去,一起去!”这就是被阿里巴巴员工戏称为“十八罗汉”的开山元老。1999年3月,马云在杭州的家中创办了阿里巴巴公司。他和他的“十八罗汉”没日没夜地工作,地上有一个睡袋,谁累了就钻进去睡一会儿。而要做到与众不同,阿里巴巴网站必须迅速覆盖全球,否则只做国内就会变成没有买家的卖家,失去第一就失去了意义。

这一次为了阿里巴巴,马云决心向全球出击,到各个国家去展示他那绝世口才。他到各个大学去做演讲,到电子商务网络会议和论坛上宣讲他的B2B模式。怪异的长相、极具煽动性的口才和超越全球的商业思想,竟然交融在这个枯瘦弱小的中国人身上,听众无不为之惊讶。海外媒体开始对马云表现出极大的热情。

但马云再有魅力,不管在演讲的时候如何意气风发,他还是要回到现实:阿里巴巴缺钱,庞大的运营费用将马云压得喘不过气来。幸运的是,马云马不停蹄地在全球的巡回演讲,起到了一箭双雕的作用——一是吸引客户,二是吸引风险投资。风险投资商慢慢从马云的演讲中对他的阿里巴巴有了兴趣,随着AB公司副总蔡崇信考察阿里巴巴并加盟阿里巴巴之后,数十家风险投资商与马云接洽商谈。拒绝38家风险投资后,马云接受高盛为首的投资集团500万美元的投资。就在该笔资金到位的第二天,马云飞赴北京“见一位神秘人物”。

见面才知,那人是雅虎最大的股东、“全球互联网投资皇帝”、日本软银公司的董事长孙正义!原定1个小时的讲述,马云刚讲了6分钟,孙正义就说:马云,我一定要投资阿里巴巴!而且用我自己的钱。2000年1月,双方正式签约,孙正义投入2000万美金。据说孙正义事后判定阿里巴巴会成为一家和雅虎一样伟大的公司。

2000年,《福布斯》评价马云:有着拿破仑一样的身材,更有拿破仑一样的伟大志向!很快,马云和阿里巴巴在欧美名声日隆,来自国外的点击率和会员呈激增之势!从此,阿里巴巴开始被业界公认为全球最优秀的B2B网站。2001年12月27日,中国供应商会员达到100万人,成为全球第一个达到此数目的B2B网站,并在当月实现盈利。这意味着,阿里巴巴真正开始赚钱了!对马云、对阿里巴巴、对中国互联网企业、对全球电子商务而言,这都堪称是一个伟大的时刻!它正式向全世界宣告,马云创建的电子商务B2B模式是正确的、可行的。

抓住有梦想的人

不管是在创业初期的“开荒牛”,还是今天的“空降兵”,加盟阿里巴巴完全是被疯狂的马云和阿里巴巴所吸引。无论是挑战也好,梦想也罢,人总是需要有些狂热的东西鼓动自己,来到这里不是因为阿里巴巴有一眼可见的前景,而是因为阿里巴巴是一个不知道未来的巨大的梦想。正因为有太多的变数,反而使马云和阿里巴巴讨得了这帮天才的欢心。正如马云在接受某个媒体采访的时候所说:如果一个决定是100%正确的,就没有执行的意义;如果一个决定引起极大的争议,才值得去执行。马云一拍脑袋认定的事情,每每引起无数人的争执,让所有人觉得他是个疯子,却吸引了众多的顶尖人物。

阿里巴巴一位管理人员告诉记者,他们之所以始终如此信任马云,是因为马云从来没有让他们失望过,他无与伦比的高瞻远瞩的眼光,已经赢得了所有员工的心。

公元前497年,两国在夫椒交战,吴国大获全胜,越王勾践被迫退居到会稽。吴王派兵追击,把勾践围困在会稽山上,情况非常危急。此时,勾践听从了大夫文种的计策,准备了一些金银财宝和几个美女,派人偷偷地送给吴国太宰,并通过太宰向吴王求情,吴王最后答应了越王勾践的求和。

但是吴国的伍子胥认为不能与越国讲和,否则无异于放虎归山,可是吴王不听。

越王勾践投降后,便和妻子一起前往吴国,他们夫妻俩住在夫差父亲墓旁的石屋里,做看守坟墓和养马的事情。夫差每次出游,勾践总是拿着马鞭,恭恭敬敬地跟在后面。后来吴王夫差有病,勾践为了表明他对夫差的忠心,竟亲自去尝夫差大便的味道,以便来判断夫差病愈的日期。夫差病好的日期恰好与勾践预测的相合,夫差认为勾践对他敬爱忠诚,于是就把勾践夫妇放回越国。越王勾践他回国以后,立志要报仇雪恨。为了不忘国耻,他睡觉就卧在柴薪之上,坐卧的地方挂着苦胆,表示不忘国耻,不忘艰苦。经过十年的积聚,越国终于由弱国变成强国,最后打败了吴国,吴王羞愧自杀。

Wu Tao:

吴涛:

Hello!

你好!

In life, there are some things that are really difficult to say clearly; maybe one of my actions makes you have a great view; but to tell the truth, I always have an idea that good friends must not have anything to do with money; not that I am too realistic, but that there are some things, as long as the money is linked, how deep feelings will eventually be unhappy and dispersed.

人生之中,有一些事情,真的很难说清楚;也许我的一个行为,就让你产生了极大的看法;可是说实话,我一直有一个观念,好朋友之间,一定不能跟金钱有任何挂勾;不是我太现实,而是有一些事情,只要跟钱挂勾了以后,那么有多深的感情,最后都会不欢而散。

As a stable working person, I always think you should do a good job and make some achievements in your work. So when you borrow money from me to do business, I really disapprove of 10,000 people. I think people should not be too greedy in this life. Because you are an iron rice bowl person, if you do business, then your stable life will be broken. For my friend, Ive been trying to persuade you, but I believe you must have misunderstood me.

作为一个有稳定工作的你,我一直觉得你应该要好好工作,在工作上有所建树;所以当你向我借钱做生意的时候,我真的一万个不赞成;我觉得人这一生,不应该太贪心;因为你是一个端铁饭碗的人,如果做了生意以后,那么你稳定的生活,就将会被打破;所以作为朋友,我一直在劝你,但是我相你一定误解了我。

To tell you the truth, when you ask to borrow money, I can say that I am not without money; but I think that there will be problems between friends if they have something to do with money; if you ask me to borrow money because you are in urgent need, then I will never hesitate; but if you take money to do business, then it must be risky; if you make money, then there will be risks between brothers. It must be easy to say, but if you lose money, will our relationship survive when I ask for money?

说实话,当你开口借钱的时候,我可以说,我并不是没有钱;而是我觉得,朋友之间,如果跟钱扯上关系以后,那么就一定会出问题;你要是因为急用,找我借钱,那么我决不犹豫;可是你是把钱拿去做生意,那么这一定是有风险的;如果你赚钱了,那么兄弟之间,都一定好说;可是如果你亏了,当我找你要钱的时候,我们的关系还能保存吗?

Maybe you really dont understand me very well, thats what youve always been thinking; if a person borrows money from me to do business, I wont borrow it either; if a person has difficulty borrowing money from me, I can help him borrow it without me; because I think that doing business and encountering difficulties are two different purposes; so I didnt lend money to you, so I let you see so much. Law.

也许你真的不太理解我,在一直的观念就是如此;如果一个人找我借钱做生意,我有没有我都不会借;如果一个人有困难找我借钱,我没有我都可以帮他找人借;因为我认为做生意和遇到困难,这是两个不同的用途;所以我才没有借钱给你,才让你有了那么大的看法。

You said that since then, our brotherhood has ceased; in fact, I feel very sad to hear such words; do you mean that our brotherhood is measured by money? In my opinion, you dont treat me as a brother at all; if you treat me as a brother, then I believe you wont say that and ask me to borrow money; because the real brother must be pure and never have anything to do with money.

你说从此以后,我们兄弟之情就断了;其实听到这样的话,我觉得很伤心;难道说,我们兄弟之情,就是用金钱来衡量的吗?在我看来,你根本就不把我当兄弟;如果你把我当兄弟,那么我相信你就不会说这种话,也不会找我开口借钱;因为真正的兄弟,一定是纯洁的,跟金钱永远也不会扯上关系。

In this society, money is really not a good thing; if you dont have money, people will look down on you, and if you have money, they will borrow it from you; if you have it, what is it? But when I cant borrow it, then I will become an enemy between brothers and friends, so instead of becoming an enemy in the end, why dont I borrow it from the beginning?

在这个社会之中,钱这个东西,真的不是一个好东西;没钱那么别人看不起你,有钱别人又要找你借;有借有还,这还没有什么?可是当借了以后,还不起的时候,那么兄弟之间,朋友之间,就会成了为仇人;所以与其最后都会成为仇人,那么我何不从一开始,就不要借。

Our motherland has a long history, many traditional festivals, and some unique folk customs. But my favorite traditional festival is the Spring Festival. Chinese New Years eve, the Spring Festival also arrived, the New Year began.

On New Years eve, it was very lively, and every family was making New Years dishes, and the smell of the wine was everywhere. Men and women, old and young, were wearing new clothes, and a red and red couplet was affixed to the door. On New Years eve, the lights are on all night. People who do things outside will have to come home for a reunion dinner unless they have to. This night, apart from very small children, no one is going to sleep at the same time. The scene of the Spring Festival was different from that of New Years eve: the shops were boarded, and the last nights firecrackers were piled up in front of the door, and the whole city was resting. The men went to visit their relatives and friends before noon. The women received guests at home. Outside the city, many temples hold temple fairs. Vendors sell tea, food and toys outside the temple. Children especially love to go to the temple fair, so that they can have a chance to go outside the city to see the wild scenery, can ride a donkey, and also can buy New Years unique toys. The temple fair has horse racing and camel racing. These contests are not for the first who is second, but for the good posture and skill of the horse, camel and rider in front of the audience. The sky is full of colors. Will put every year before the fireworks began, every family put their most beautiful fireworks in the sky, fireworks bursting in the black night sky, a than a bright, the sky seems to be holding a beauty contest.

How beautiful! All the people stopped at that moment, only to hear the exclamations of the fireworks, the adults faces showed the innocence of the smile, and began to recall their happy childhood. At the same time, we all quietly made a wish: I hope this year I can be admitted to a high school with a good result! New Year, new beginning. I hope that all the students in the sixth grade will work together to create their own future with a good grade.

我们祖国有悠久的历史,有着许多传统节日,还有一些各具特色的民风民俗。但我最喜欢的传统节日是:春节。除夕过了,春节也就到了,新的一年开始了。

除夕那天真热闹,家家赶做年菜,到处是酒肉的香味。男女老少都穿起新衣,门外贴上了红红的对联,屋里贴好了各色的年画。除夕夜家家灯火通宵,不许间断,鞭炮声日夜不绝。在外边做事的人除非万不得已,必定赶回家来吃团圆饭。这一夜,除了很小的孩子,没有什么人睡觉都要守岁。春节的光景与除夕那天截然不同:铺户都上着板子,门前堆着昨夜燃放的爆竹纸皮,全城都在休息。男人们午前到亲戚家朋友家拜年。女人们在家中接待客人。城内城外许多寺院举办庙会,小贩们在庙外摆摊卖茶,食品和各种玩具。小孩子们特别爱逛庙会,为的是有机会到城外看看野景,可以骑毛驴,还能买到新年特有的玩具。庙会上有赛马的,还有赛骆驼的。这些比赛并不为争谁第一谁第二,而是在观众面前表演马,骆驼与骑者的美好姿态与娴熟技能。“嘭”天空中五颜六色的。原来每年必放的烟花开始了,家家户户都把自家最美的烟花放上了天空,烟花在黑色的夜空中绽开来,一个比一个光彩夺目,天空中似乎正在举行一场选美比赛。

美极了!所有人顿时停留在了那一刻,只听到烟花绽放时的惊叹声,大人们脸上露出了童真的笑容,开始回忆起自己的美好童年。同时,我们都悄悄许了愿望:希望今年我能以一个优秀的成绩考上一座中学!新的一年,新的开始。希望今年六年级的同学都一齐努力,用一个好成绩来创造自己的未来。

Cherry blossoms like lily, holy simplicity such as lotus, romance, such as sunflower, gorgeous roses. Cherry blossom, beautiful beautiful, transcendental and free from vulgarity, beautiful beauty, too pampered agglomeration with beautiful more than anything else.

I gently walked over, touched it as great a tender petals, ice BingLiangLiang, wen run into picking, wet drink, relaxed and happy.

The cherry blossom is said to be color and XiangDou is very weak, but once it is fully blooming cherry blossoms, but more brilliant than the peony, more alcohol than sweet osmanthus.

All of a sudden, everything is quiet. "Sound", I seem to hear the voice of dew on petals are rolling, slowly, slowly.

有出污泥而不染的荷花,有默默无闻的太阳花,还有刚柔相济的兰花,但我却最喜欢日本的国花(樱花)。

那是一种叫不出名的樱花。从远处看,樱花树上有红色的花,像火一般,给人一种温暖的感觉;有淡紫色的花,如娇媚的小姑娘那可爱而圆润的脸蛋;还有白色的花,好似病人那铁青铁青的面孔。从近处看,樱花如霞,飘飘荡荡;樱花如雪,光明圣洁;樱花如梅,傲霜斗雪;樱花如金,闪闪发光;樱花如雾,奇幻飘渺。

樱花圣洁如百合,纯朴如荷花,烂漫如向日葵,艳丽如玫瑰。樱花美得无奈,美的张扬,美得超凡脱俗,美得万千宠爱集聚一身,美得胜过一切。

我轻轻走过去,摸了摸它嫩得不得了的花瓣,冰冰凉凉,温润成剔,湿湿润润,心旷神怡。

据说樱花是色和香都是十分淡的花,可樱花一旦完全盛开,却比牡丹更艳,比桂花更醇。

突然,一切静得离谱。“哗哗”,我似乎听到了花瓣上有露珠滚动的声音,缓缓地,慢慢地;“沙沙”,我又听到了春风拂面、樱花晃动的声音,枝头互相碰撞着,摩擦着;“砰砰”,我仿佛听到了花瓣落地,花瓣在半空中转动舞蹈,坠在地上,可花瓣依然美丽,没有被污染。

樱花代表一个国家,能成为日本的国花,也因为它有非凡的气质。人们把“沉鱼落雁、闭月羞花”献给古代四大美女,我更愿意献给这万众瞩目的樱花。

I spent the Spring Festival at my mother-in-laws house. In the evening, I watched the "Spring Festival gala" as usual, and when it was getting closer to 12, the host was counting down "10,9,8... 3,2,1. As the Numbers approached, the sound grew more and more slowly, and continued until 12 o clock. When the countdown is over, our house is busy! "Happy New Year! Chinese New Year! Youre one year older." Then our family went downstairs and set off fireworks. The other day, my uncle bought a lot of firecrackers. There is a gyro, a little bee, a pearl, a world, and a lot of names. The appearance of firecrackers also has many. Flower face, butterfly... Some of heaven and earth ring 20 hair, some of the world sounds 50, and there is another 100. Of all the firecrackers, the most striking is the sound of heaven and earth. Its about the same size as a small table. I can feed four or five people. It is also heavy and requires two or three adults to move. After a long wait, the other firecrackers were finally finished. Thats the beginning! "Knock! Pa! Bam! Pa! Bam! Pa! ...... "The voice was so loud that it was like a loud thunderclap of thunder.

Although I covered my ears, when the sound was too loud, I could hear it. In the last few rounds, "bam! Bam! Bam! Pa! Wow! The explosion of firework, like a flame, scattered all around. It was a magnificent sight! When I got home, my heart was still very long. Who will clean it up? Of course its my aunt and uncle.

And are now on duty of the polices uncle aunts, they in order to make the safety of the citizens have a year, in every corner of the city of nanjing, dedicated to patrol the, thought of here, I entered the beautiful dreams...

春节是我国传统节日之一。在年30这天,小朋友们要给长辈拜年,拿红包;人们要和亲人团聚,吃年夜饭;更要在家,一边看“春节联欢晚会”,一边守岁;等到凌晨12点,家外,窗边,楼下,鞭炮声震耳欲聋,人们放着鞭炮,完全沉醉在春节这欢乐的节日中。

我是在婆婆家过的春节。晚上,我照旧在看“春节联欢晚会”,当离12点越来越近时,主持人进行倒计时“10,9,8……3,2,1。”随着数字的接近,声音越来越缓慢,一直延续着,直到12点。当倒计时数完时,我们家热闹起来了了!妈妈高兴的喊道:“过年啦!过年啦!你又长大了一岁。”接着,我们一家下楼放烟火。前几天,舅舅买了许多鞭炮。有地陀螺,有小蜜蜂,有夜明珠,有天地响,还有许多叫不上名字的。鞭炮的样子也有许多。花脸,蝴蝶……有的天地响20发,有的天地响50发,还有的天地响100发。在这么多的鞭炮中,最引人注目的要数一种天地响。它的个头同一个小桌子差不多。能供四五个人吃饭。它的重量也很重,需要两三个成年人才能搬动。等了好久,终于把其他鞭炮放完了。当头好戏开始了!“嘭!啪!嘭!啪!嘭!啪!……”这声音惊天动地,好似雷公公发怒的巨响。

我虽然捂住了耳朵,当声音实在是太大,还是能听见。到了最后几发,“嘭!嘭!嘭!啪!哗哗哗哗哗!!”炸开的烟花如火焰一般向四周散去,那情景非常壮观!回到家,我的心仍然久久不能平静。谁来清理呢?当然是清洁工叔叔阿姨了。他们为了让南京更加美丽,不惜牺牲过年的时间,认认真真、仔仔细细、一丝不苟、无私奉献地打扫。还有,现在正值班的警察叔叔阿姨们,他们为了让市民们安全的过个年,在南京市的每一个角落,兢兢业业地巡逻着,想到这里,我进入了美丽的梦乡……

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。

In winter, when we unconsciously quietly came to our side. In winter, it is how mysterious!

The north wind blowing, with blow to the face, like the prick of an acupuncture, pain unceasingly. The pedestrians on the road less and less, only people have wrapped themselves, like a big steamed stuffed bun. Some middle-aged women have also turned into "Arab women", leaving only a pair of complicated big eyes on his face. Green girl, however, that those who are not so, they wear skirt, standing on high heels, and gracefully walk the road, is really "want to grace, dont temperature". In the winter, how naughty!

篇20:英语哲理故事长TheMostBeautifulFlower

全文共 2048 字

+ 加入清单

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.
