双语寓言故事:安心草
A story is told of a king who went into his garden one morning, and found everything witheredand dying.
He asked the oak that stood near the gate what the trouble was.
He found it was sick of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beautiful like thepine.
The pine was all out of heart because it could not bear grapes, like the vine.
The vine was going to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and have as fine fruitas the peach tree.
The geranium was fretting because it was not tall and fragrant like the lilac鈥nd so on allthrough the garden.
Coming to a heart's-ease, he found its bright face lifted as cheery as ever.
"Well, heart's-ease, I'm glad, amidst all this discouragement, to find one brave little flower. Youdo not seem to be the (east disheartened."
"No, I am not of much account, but I thought that if You wanted an oak, or a pine, or a vine,or a peach tree, or a geranium, or a lilac, you would have planted one; but as I knew youwanted a heart's-ease, I am determined to be the best little heart's-ease that I can.
这个故事是这样的：一个国王清晨走迸花园，发现所有的草 木已经枯萎，奄奄一息了。于是，他问门边的橡树究竟发生了什么事。原来是它们消极 厌世、一心求死，因为橡树觉得自己不如松树般高大、秀丽： 而松树为自己不如葡萄藤那般结满丰硕的果实而沮丧： 葡萄藤则为自己无法直立，并且无法像桃树那样结出上好的果实而想结束生命 天竺葵也焦躁不安，因为它觉得自己不如紫丁香那样修长、 芳香鈥︹�τ谑牵龌ㄔ岸剂宋奚！」踝叩揭恢晷陌膊菝媲埃⑾炙匀簧癫赊绒龋绱忧鞍慊独帧�
篓你好，心安草，我感到非常高兴，所有的草木都对自己失去 了信心，只有你能勇敢地生活，没有丝毫气馁。篓
篓虽然我并没有什么值得骄傲的东西，但我想，如果你想要一 棵橡树，或松树、葡萄，或桃树、天竺葵、丁香，你就会去种它 们，而我知道你想要一株心安草，所以我决心尽我所能做一株最 好的心安草。"
