There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them。
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming wate**ll. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the wate**ll a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest—in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
你认为哪一幅赢得了赏金?国王选中了第二幅。知道是什么缘故吗?
“Because,”explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”

国王解释道:那是因为和平相处不是仅指没有吵杂声,没有麻烦,或者没有苦活干。而是那些让我们平易近人,待人以礼,这才是和平相处这道。作者: cheerful 时间: 2010-12-21 16:35
