A Beautiful Flower
This happened many summers ago. There was a young flower in a desert where was always dried and sad-looking. It was growing by itself, enjoying everyday 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.” And 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 she felt so sad， not because she was dying，but because she had no 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.
一朵美麗的花
這個(gè)故事發(fā)生在很多很多個(gè)夏天以前。在一個(gè)周?chē)錆M著干燥與衰落景象的沙漠中，有一朵小花正綻放著……她孤單地生長(zhǎng)著……快樂(lè)地過(guò)著每一天……她對(duì)太陽(yáng)說(shuō)：“我什么時(shí)候才能長(zhǎng)大呀？”太陽(yáng)回答說(shuō)：“不要著急——我的光芒每接觸你一次，你就會(huì)長(zhǎng)大一點(diǎn)兒……”小花聽(tīng)了非常高興。因?yàn)樗袡C(jī)會(huì)為這片沙漠增添一處絢麗的景色了……這就是她夢(mèng)寐以求的——為這個(gè)世界帶來(lái)一點(diǎn)兒美麗。
一天，一個(gè)獵人經(jīng)過(guò)這里——并從她身上踏了過(guò)去。——她即將死了——她感到十分悲傷。她悲傷的原因，并不是因?yàn)樗龑⒁廊ィ且驗(yàn)樗僖矝](méi)有機(jī)會(huì)為這片沙漠增添一處絢麗的景色了。
一個(gè)偉大的精靈看到了她，并聽(tīng)到了她的哭訴。——事實(shí)上，他說(shuō)……她應(yīng)該活下去……于是，他來(lái)到沙漠上撫摸著她，并賦予了她生命。后來(lái)，她終于長(zhǎng)大成了一朵美麗的花兒……這片沙漠也因她的存在而變得格外美麗。
