农夫和驴
荷叶/译
一天,一个农夫的驴落入一眼井。当农夫不知如何是好的时候,这头驴在井里哀号了好几个小时。最后,农夫决定填平这眼井,因为驴子已老,不值得营救了,反正井也得填平。因此,他决定活埋这头驴。 他请所有的邻居过来帮忙,大家抓起铁锨,开始向井里铲土。起初,当驴子明白发生了什么时,叫得很惨,然后它慢慢平静下来,再后来就什么也听不到了。 几铲土后,农夫往井里一看,大吃一惊。他看见随着每一铲土落到驴子背上,它做着令人惊叹的事情。他会抖掉泥土,向上跨一步。 随着邻居们不停地往驴子身上填土,他总是抖掉泥土,向上跨一步。很快,大家吃惊地发现驴子从井沿上走了出来,跑掉了。 生活会向你身上铲土,各种各样的土。走出深井的诀窍是抖掉泥土,向上跨一步。我们遇到的每一次困难都是一块垫脚石。不停歇,不放弃,抖掉泥土,向上跨一步,会使我们走出最深的井。 谨记快乐的五条简单原则: 一。放下仇恨,放松心灵。 二.放下烦恼,放松心灵。 三。相信上帝。 四.多些付出。 五.少些期待。 附;原文 One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway and it just wasn't worth to retrieve the donkey.So, he decided to bury it! He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly, then slowly he quieted down till nothing more was heard. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing! He would shake it off and take a step up! As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take astep up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping, never giving up, shaking it off, and taking a step up! Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Trust in God.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
