Flower in The Desert
说明:这个美丽的故事流传在美洲印第安土著中已近200年了,一朵荒漠中的小花,不是为了自己的艳丽,而执着于点缀这个世界的一角……
There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking... It was growing by itself... enjoying every day... and saying to the sun “When shall I be grown up?” And the sun would say “Be patient - Each time I touch you, you grow a little...” She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand... And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and s he felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert. The great spirit saw her, and was listening. - Indeed, he said... She should be living... And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life. And she grew up to be a beautiful flower... and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.
