这个故事发生在很多很多年前的一个夏天。 在一片干旱而又死气沉沉的沙漠中,有一朵娇嫩的花。她是一株野生植物,每天都快乐地生活着,每天她都对着太阳说:“我什么时候才会长大呢?”这时太阳总是会说慢慢来,我的光每抚摸你一次,你就会长大一点点。”她听后总是那么高兴,因为自己将有机会为这片沙漠的一角奉献一点美丽。她全部的心愿就是——给这个世界增添一点点美。 有一天,一个猎人从这里经过,可恶的是他踩了她。她奄奄一息非常伤心,并不是因为自己要死了,而是因为自己再也没有机会为这沙漠的一角奉献自己的美丽了。 神仙看到了这一切,并听到了她的心声。他说:这朵花应该活下去。于是神仙俯下身来 轻轻地碰了一下她,她复活了。 后来,她长成了一朵美丽的花,而这沙漠的一角也因为她的存在而变得非常漂亮。 Flower in the Desert This happened many many summers ago. There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking. She was growing by herself, 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 was 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 she 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. |
