两 头 驴
—By Keith
读完下面的小故事你就会发现:其实他人风光的外表并非永远都像我们想的那样.因此,我们无需羡慕别人的光彩,但也不要轻视他人的辛酸,尽情享受自己的人生才是真谛.
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."
