美文欣赏：一句简单的问候
[size=4][color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]Early one morning I gathered a beautiful bouquet of sweet-smelling long-stemmed roses formyself. The roses were definitely a delight for my eyes. While I thought about how pleasingthey were for me to enjoy, a calm, gentle voice outside of myself simply said, Give them to your friend.[/font][/color][color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]I went straight into the house and I arranged the roses in a vase. Then I wrote this note assmall as I could: For my friend…[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]I went across the street to my neighbor's, who is also one of my closest friends, and I left thebouquet at the front door.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]Later that day my friend called to thank me. She said the flowers were a true blessing. Late thenight before she had been arguing with one of her children, being cruel, as teenagers cansometimes be, her child said to her, "You have no friends."[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]What a surprise when she went to leave for work that morning and found not just theblessings of the bouquet of flowers, but the tiny note which simply said, "For my friend."[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]I believe the art of living consists not so much in complicatingsimple things as in simplifyingthings that are not.[/font][/color][/size]

[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]一天早上我给自己采了一束芬芳馥郁的玫瑰。这些花儿是那么让人赏心悦目。正当我想着独自欣赏这些玫瑰是如何惬意时，耳畔仿佛听见有人温柔平静地说：“把它送给你的朋友吧。”[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]我径直走进屋里，把花插在花瓶里。然后写了一张很小的纸条：送给我的朋友……[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]我走过马路，来到邻居的屋前。她还是我的挚友。然后我把花束放在她的门前。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]后来朋友打电话向我致谢。她说那些花儿是一种实实在在的祝福。前天晚上，她刚跟自己的一个孩子吵架。孩子大发脾气，就像其他十来岁的孩子有时会大发雷霆一样，孩子对她说：“你没有朋友。”[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]第二天早上她正要出门上班时惊讶地发现了那束花，花儿带来了祝福，但更重要的是写在小纸条上的一句问候：“送给我的朋友”。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]显而易见的东西往往被人忽略，直到有人把它简单地说出来。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]我相信生活的艺术不在于把简单的事情复杂化，而在于简化那些本来并不简单的事情。[/font][/color]
