A Butterfly’s Lesson

One day, a small opening eared on a cocoon;

a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours

as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.

Then, it seems to stop making any progress.

It eared as if it had gotten as far as it could

and it could not go any further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors

and opened the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shrivelled wings.

The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment,

the wings would open, enlarge and expand,

to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.

Neither hened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shrivelled wings.

It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that

the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening,

were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, s

o that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles,

it would cripple us.

We would not be as strong as we could he been.

Never been able to fly.

I asked for Strength...

And God ge me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom...

And God ge me Problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity...

And God ge me a Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage…..

And God ge me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for Love...

And God ge me Troubled people to help.

I asked for Fors...

And God ge me Opportunities.

“I received nothing I wanted...

But I received everything I needed."

Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and evince that you can overcome them.

某天，一个闲人无事，坐在一个角落里静静地观望着面前一个普通的蝴蝶茧。那个蝴蝶茧刚刚结束了封闭的状态，在茧的一端张开了一个小小的洞。这只蝴蝶做了数小时的挣扎似乎就是为了让身体穿出□上那个小小的洞。然而，一切都是徒劳，蝴蝶没有能够破茧而出。茧里的蝴蝶安静下来，好象它已经用尽了所有的力气，无法再做任何的努力了。

于是，这位闲人决定帮助这只可伶的蝴蝶。他拿起一把剪刀，把茧给剪开了。蝴蝶轻易地出来了，可是，它身体干瘪，翅膀无力。帮助它的闲人想：一会儿会好起来的，它的身体会变得饱满有力，它的翅膀会变得坚强，它会飞向花丛林间的。

可惜没有，闲人的想象并没有发生。这只可怜的蝴蝶终身只能爬行，永不能飞翔。原来蝴蝶必须通过艰难的“破茧而出”的过程。只有在那不屈不挠地让身体通过茧上的那个小小洞口的过程中，它身体的溶液才能转移到翅膀上，使身体和翅膀都变得强壮。这样一旦破茧而出，蝴蝶便可以飞翔。闲人的好心好意破坏了蝴蝶自强的过程，毁坏了蝴蝶的一生。

故事的用意并不是指责闲人的帮助，相反：Some times，struggles are exactly what we need in our life。有时，挣扎正是我们生活的必需的一部分。

如果上帝让我们轻轻松松没有波澜地来消费时光，我们可能永远不会表现出我们应有的坚强，我们永远也无力飞翔。

我们祈求力量，上帝送给我们困难，让我们在克服困难中强壮。

我们祈求智慧，上帝送给我们问题，让我们在解决问题中变得聪明。

我们祈求富裕，上帝送给我们大脑和肌肉，让我们在工作中致富。

我们祈求勇气，上帝送给我们磨难，让我们在征服磨难中勇敢坚强。

我们祈求爱情，上帝送给我们有难的人们，让我们在帮助中得到关怀和爱护。

我们祈求好运，上帝送给我们机会，让我们把握。

The Dog And The Shadow 狗和它的影子

A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water, and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He therefore let go his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog, to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.

.THE ANT AND THE DOVE

蚂蚁和鸽子

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came to a spring.

To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water.

She could he drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it.

Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net. The dove was quick to fly away to safety.

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was hing lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.

Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to lee a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills and I was going home to commit . But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would he missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more, you sed my life."

英文哲理故事:财富、成功和爱

Wealth Success and Love

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and he something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had hened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, "and he is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love." "Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house.

The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would he stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"

妇人便进屋把老人的话说了。丈夫惊喜道：“既然如此，我们就邀请财富老人吧，请他进来，让我们的屋里装满财富！”

妇人不同意：“亲爱的，我们为什么不邀请成功老人呢？做一切事情都能成功，那感觉会有多好！”

这时候，儿媳插嘴进来，说：“我们还是邀请爱吧，让我们的家时时处处都充满爱。”

“那我们就听儿媳的吧！”一对夫妇朝儿媳点点头。

于是妇人出门，邀请爱的老人进屋作客。谁知爱的老人起身，成功老人和财富老人也都跟在后面。妇人感到惊讶：“我们邀请的是‘爱’，你们两位怎么也一起来了？”

三个老人乐了：“哪里有爱，哪里就有财富和成功！”

上帝的咖啡

God's Coffee

一群事业有成的同学回去看望他们的大学老师，很快他们开始抱怨生活和工作中的压力。

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

老师去厨房为客人们准备咖啡，回来时端着一大壶咖啡和各式各样的杯子，这些杯子有陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有的普通，有的昂贵，有的精致，老师让大家随意享用。

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen

and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking,

some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

等每个人都端起一杯咖啡，老师说话了：你们注意到吗：所有好看昂贵的杯子都被用了，剩下那些朴素便宜的杯子。你们都只想要最好的，这很正常，这恰恰是你们的问题和压力所在。杯子不会让咖啡的质量变得更好，很多时候，只是让它变得更贵一些，甚至，有时候，让人忽略了到底我们在喝什么。你们真正想要的其实是咖啡，不是杯子，但你们有意识地去拿那些最好的杯子，随后开始打量其他人手上的杯子。想想吧：生活好比咖啡，工作、金钱和社会地位都只是杯子，只是生活的容器，而我们拥有的杯子既无法定义、也无法改变我们生活的质量。有时，由于我们只关心杯子，我们甚至不能够好好品尝上帝赐予我们的咖啡。

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,

leing behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your

problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In

most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you

consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing

each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we he does not define,

nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

上帝冲泡了咖啡，不是杯子。······享受你们的咖啡吧。

God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!

最快乐的人们并不是因为他们拥有最好的一切，他们只是把一切当成最好。

"The hiest people don't he the best of everything. They just

make the best of everything."

简单地活着。仁慈地爱着。深深地关心着。友善地说话。

其他的，就留给上帝吧。

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Lee the rest to God

英语哲理小小故事

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must he been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout.

We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others 4)irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.

"What?" Mom asked.

"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.

"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."

"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"

"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.

Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heen. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

Run Through the Rain 雨中的记忆

她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛购完物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌向了大地。

我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家在等待，有的人很耐心，也有人烦躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地听着、看着老天洗刷冲走这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我这一天的焦虑。

小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧，”她说。

“什么？”母亲问。

“我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。

“不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走，”母亲回答说。

过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。”

“这样的话我们会湿透的，”母亲说。

“不会的，妈妈。你今天早上不是这样说的。”小女孩一边说一边拉着母亲的手。

“今天早上？我什么时候说过我们淋雨不会湿啊？”

“你不记得了吗？你和爸爸谈他的癌症时，你不是说‘如果上帝让我们闯过这一关，那我们就没有什么过不去了。’”

人群一片寂静。我发誓，除了雨声，你什么都听不到。我们都静静地站着。接下来的几分钟没有一个人走动。母亲停了一下，在想着应该说些什么。

有人也许会对此一笑了之，或者责备这孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的话放在心上。但这却是一个小孩子一生中需要被肯定的时候。若受到鼓舞，此时孩子单纯的信任就会发展成为坚定的信念。“亲爱的，你说得对，我们跑过去吧。如果淋湿了，那也许是因为我们的确需要冲洗一下了，”母亲说。然后她们就冲出去了。

我们站在那里，笑着看她们飞快地跑过停着的汽车。他们把购物袋高举过头想挡挡雨，但还是湿透了。好几个人像孩子般尖叫着，大笑着，也跟着冲了出去，奔向自己的车子。当然，我也这样做了，跑了出去，淋湿了。我也需要接受洗礼。环境或其他人可以夺去你的物质财富，抢走你的金钱，带走你的健康，但没有人可以带走你珍贵的回忆。因此，记得要抓紧时间，抓住机会每天都给自己留下一些回忆吧！

世间万物皆有自己的季节，做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机。希望你有机会在雨中狂奔一回。

The Fox and the Grapes

One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."

炎热的夏天里，一只狐狸在果园漫步 （One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard），看到一串熟透的葡萄沿著藤蔓高挂在上 （till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch.）。「解渴就靠这个了。」他这麼说著 （"Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoth he）。退了几步之后，他往前又跑又跳的 （Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump），可惜没构到那串葡萄 （and just missed the bunch），往后再退了几步，一、二、三，往上一跳 （Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up），还是没有构到那串葡萄 （but with no greater success.）。他试了又试，只希望吃口诱人的葡萄 （Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel），可最后还是放弃了（but at last had to give it up），最后离开，鼻子嗅了嗅说 （and walked away with his nose in the air, saying）：「葡萄太酸了 （"I am sure they are sour."）。」

The moral is that：It is easy to despise what you cannot get.

(要鄙视得不到的东西，可真容易呢。)

人生多了酸的滋味，永远比连酸都没尝过的人生来的圆满。
