1月2日故事:Burdens Give Us Wings 将重担变成翅膀
Please read the story carefully,then translate the red sentences and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky!
An old legend relates that long ago God had a great many burdens which he wished to have carried from one place to another on earth, so he asked the animals to lend a hand.
But all of them began to make excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified, the lion was too proud and so on.
Finally the birds came to God and said," If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we'll be glad to carry them for you. We are small but we would like to help."
So God fastened upon the back of each one a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, and did not seem to feel the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seemed to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.
When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, they were wings in their place which enabled them to fly to the sky and the tree tops.
They had learned how to carry their burddens, and their loads had become wings to carry them nearer to God.
The fiercest agonies have the shortest reign. ——William Carlen Bryant本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览
