【第一篇:The Swans‘ Nest】
A long long time ago, there were swans. The swans flew to the plains. They were called ’Lombard‘. Another group of swans flew to Byzantium, and they flocked to the Emperor’s crown to protect it. The swans were just like a shield to guard the Emperor.
One day, there was a scream from France. The swans flew to France with flames hanging on their wings. The French people prayed to God for help. “Oh, God. Please protect us.”
There was a Danish swan standing on the green plain next to the seashore with a crown on his head. The swan handed over his crown to England. At that time, some swans used to fly up to the sky. One of them made a beautiful song with a harp. The melody echoed around to far away. That‘s why the mountains of Norway are still beautiful.
Another swan hit a marble rock very hard. The marble rock broke into pieces. Then, a Goddess of Beauty came out of it. And the other swan hung the people’s ideas in the air with ropes. Those ropes connected one country to another so that people‘s knowledge and ideas could spread to the rest of the world through the ropes.
God loves the swans’ nest. The swans‘ nest never breaks apart even when giant birds fiercely attack it because the swans will fight back all together. After a long time passes, swans will fly up to the sky from their nest, and people will watch them fly. Their beautiful songs will echo around us continuously.
【第二篇:The Thorny Road of Honor】
Every country has great and respectable people. They teach us about battle, glory and failure in life.
“Know yourself.” Socrates, who we all know, was held in contempt by many people. But he wanted to know a lot of things. Even now, he is respected by people.
“The future is in the dark.” The prophet ‘Homer’ always worried about the future, so his hair all turned white. After a while, his eyes went blind. But he is always remembered as the greatest prophet of history. Great men have always been produced continuously.
“Have mercy on me. Please give me a penny” The great poet Camoniz was a beggar when he was young. But he has a magnificent monument of his own. If no one had given him money, he would have died from hunger.
There is another man to talk about. He stayed in prison for a long time. “I am not crazy!” He is the one who invented steam power, but he could not be recognized as a great man in his days. People said that he was crazy. The great inventor, Salomon Deco ended his life in a mental institution.
“I have found a new continent.” Famous Columbus found the new Continent, but he got arrested and died in chains.
“Someday, you will find out about the new continent.” He died in chains, but now he is very famous for his discovery of the American Continent.
“The earth goes around the sun.” Galileo knew the earth circles the sun, but he suffered from blindness and deafness.
“Still, the earth goes around the sun.” He told people the earth travels around the sun even though it got him in trouble. Everything has a painful thorny path. Tolerate and stand firm no matter what comes your way. The mere pain of the moment will turn into glory.
【第三篇:The Old Tombstones】
There once was a wealthy family in a small town. One day, all the family got together in their living room. They were talking about an old stone in the garden. The children loved to get on the stone. Some young ladies stopped them from getting on the stone because it was a tombstone a long time ago. The Old Tombstones
“That tombstone was from a monastery.” “Oh my! It is for Mr. and Mrs. Preven.”
They were the last people who were buried in the cemetery of the monastery. They were the oldest people in the town. People thought they were rich, but they lived simply. They were also nice people.
The couple was always sitting on the bench in front of their house. And they always gave people warm greetings. Everyone in the town just loved them. The old couple treated poor people very well too. They gave them food and clothes. But the wife passed away earlier than the husband.
The old man cried loudly out of sadness because life without his wife was so lonely. He was very happy when he got married. But now, his wife was dead, and he was too old. That is our life and destiny! Time is supposed to go by.
After a little while, their tombs were moved to a different resting place. Their tombstone was sold to people. That‘s why Preven and Marda’s tombstone is in the family‘s garden.
Now, there is a road on the place where the old couple’s graves were laying. But people forgot them a long time ago as everything is forgotten as time goes by. The tombstone glows under the moonlight.
【第四篇;The Bell】
A church bell tolled and its echo reached the streets. The sound of the bell seemed to be from a forest. The Bell
The people thought the bell sounded strange and went into the forest to find the bell. One day, the king said to his people, “Anyone who finds out where the sound of the bell comes from, I will give a high position.”
A lot of people went into the forest. No one could find out where it came from. Then, one man found where the sound came from. It came when a giant owl hit its body against a tree. But he didn‘t know which tree it was.
He got a prize from the king, but nothing had changed. One day, a group of children went into the forest. They all wanted to find the sound of the bell.
All the children went into the forest, but three children didn’t. After a short while, some of them were exhausted. Many of them went back to the town. The rest of the children in the forest said, “We‘ve been searching everywhere, but there is no ’bell‘.”
At that moment, a bell sound came from deep in the forest. They went deeper into the woods. Then, they heard water flowing. “Hey! What do you think is that sound?
The boys were all curious about the sound. “No, this is not the sound we heard.” One of the boys answered. He was a prince. The rest of them all went back to town. The prince started to go into the forest all by himself from then on.
But one day, a poor boy came up in front of him. “I’ll go with you. But I can‘t walk as fast as you, because of my wooden shoes.” The poor boy walked toward the forest. The prince walked as fast as the poor boy did. “I will find the bell in the end!” Around sunset, the forest became peaceful and quiet. The prince went deeper in to the woods. He climbed up a cliff. He got to the top of it before sunset. He looked down at the broad sea. It was very beautiful.
Then, the tune of the forest came from somewhere. He also could hear the tune of the sea. He stretched his arms toward the sky, sea and forest. As soon as the poor boy held the prince’s hand, the holy sound of the bell echoed all around.
【第五篇:The Silent Book】
A long time ago, there was a farmhouse. A casket was under the tree in the garden. Since no one lived in the house, nobody felt sad.
There was a thick book as well as a dead body inside of the casket. Many kinds of flowers and plants were put in the book. One day, a young traveler heard about the dead man‘s story from an old farmer. “He was a student from Sweden.”
“He could speak foreign languages and write poems. He was smart, but suddenly, he lost his talent. That’s why he came to this ranch. He sat down and thought about something everyday. Sometimes he read, and cried. Before he died, he asked me a favor.” “What did he ask you?” “To put a book in his casket. That poor boy has a sweet sleep forever in the casket now.”
The young traveler saw the dead student‘s face. “He looks so peaceful. Maybe he is happy now.” “I don’t know why his old pen pals don‘t come over here to see him.” “Maybe they are all just busy.”
“He used to think for a long time reading the old letters. His friends are all gone, and he is alone now. What a pity!”
“Anyway, what are those leaves in the book?” “I have no idea.” The leaves were still in the book, but the friendship was gone. “There are white flowers.” “The dead student pulled the flowers up for himself. His tears are still in the flower.” “There are nettles, trumpet honeysuckle and even lilies! Wow, those are a lot of flowers!”
“Every single flower has the student’s memory. But now, it is just a memory of the past.” Soon, a woodworker came to cover the casket. Dead men always keep silent leaving their secrets behind them.
【第六篇:A Cheerful Temper】
A long time ago, there was a young man named Billy. Billy inherited the warm and good characteristics of his father. “My father had such a good personality. He was the horse-keeper of a funeral carriage.”
“No matter how hard the work was, he always smiled. I got the habit of visiting the church cemetery from my father and of reading the newspaper, too.”
“He said reading the newspaper would help my studying a lot. Sometimes, I take a walk to the church cemetery by myself. I learned a lot from my father.” One day, he saw a tombstone while he was walking down to the church cemetery. “The man who was buried right here was miserable before he died.”
“Even though he had a good job and made enough money for living, he got angry easily. Maybe he was too narrow- minded. For all of his entire life, he worried and got angry, then he was buried here.” Billy went to another grave and saw another tombstone.
“This man right here was happy before he died, I guess. He was from a good family of high class. He spent his life enjoying everyday.” Billy got close to the other grave and saw its tombstone.
“The man under this tombstone makes me sad. He spent all of his life hoping to come up with one extraordinary idea. One day, when he had the wonderful idea, he died from the shock. Maybe he is not resting peacefully even now.”
Next, he came to another grave and saw the tombstone. “A very stingy woman lies in this grave. She used to tell her neighbor that she was raising a cat, but she just made the noise of a cat ‘Mew, mew’. Maybe she was the stingiest woman.”
He stopped in front of another tombstone and looked down. “In this grave, a young lady from a good family lies. She used to sing a song whenever she was at a party, but she sang the same song every time.” He walked to the next grave.
“There is a widow here. She always said good things with her mouth, but she said bad things in her mind. She used to visit from house to house and say bad things about her friends and neighbors.”
“Whoever was buried and stayed in their own caskets without moving a finger, then, they will be born again with good personalities. Some day, when the time to end my life comes, I will write down this on my tombstone, ‘A Man with Good Personality’.”
【第七篇:THE STRAW, CHARCOAL AND THE PEA】
A long time ago there lived a poor grandmother. “Today, I will make a dish out of peas.” Grandmother prepared to light the oven furnace with firewood and straw. “Ouch, Ouch” “Oh my goodness.” As soon as the peas were poured into the pot, each one cried out.
Just then, when the grandmother wasn’t looking one pea jumped out of the pot and rolled in front the straw. “Whew! I made it. But where am I?” The pea whispered to himself.
Right about then, a lump of charcoal that was burning in the furnace made a small cry and flew out. “Gosh! This is hard” The charcoal squinted his eyes and wiped his sweat away.
The straw first questioned the pea. “Pea, how did you get here?” “From grandmother’s pot, just as the fire was being lite up to cook me and my friends, I ran away” The pea proudly boasted.
Next, the straw asked the charcoal. “How did you get here?” “With all my strength from the pot, I just barely got out.” Charcoal replied weakly.
When the straw heard this, he poured out his heart too. “My fate is similar to yours too. All my brothers went into the fire, but luckily I slipped out through the fingers.” “Oh I see!” “Really?” The pea and the charcoal each said a word and nodded.
Charcoal said in a worried voice. “What should we do now?” “Since, we all escaped luckily let us live together in this strange land.”
In hearing pea, charcoal and straw thought for a moment. “What should we do?” “I think we should do what the pea said.” So, the pea, charcoal and the straw decided to leave that place.
It hadn’t been long since they left when they came across a stream. “How can we cross the stream?” “There’s no stepping stone, if only there were some logs.? “We can’t go back, can’t there be a better way?” They stared at one another and worried.
A little while later, the straw thought of a good idea. “Since my body is light and long, if I lie down and stretch myself across the stream you guys can cross.” “Will it be alright?” “We will have to see.” On the one hand, pea and charcoal couldn’t help in worrying.
The straw laid across the stream. “Hurry! You must cross quickly. If you stay in one place too long, I could catch on fire.” Charcoal quickly began crossing over the straw.
But, as charcoal was crossing, he looked down. “I‘m scared! Oh what should I doΑ” Charcoal could no longer move. “Hurry up and cross!” Straw said with all his might.
However, just at that moment, from the charcoal the straw caught on fire. “Oh no!” The straw broke in two and fell into the stream. “Ahh!” At the same time, charcoal fell into the water.
Pea, who was watching this scene, couldn’t help laughing. “Ha Ha Ha” “Ha Ha Ha” The pea laughed so hard that he broke in two. “Oh no, I’m dying”
Luckily just then, a tailor was crossing the bridge. “I will rest here for a while.” “Help me” the tailor heard a faint voice and found the split pea.
The sympathetic tailor sewed the split pea back together, “You are lucky that I’m a tailor.” “I’m really fortunate.” As the tailor was finishing up sewing the pea, the pea said gratefully.
The pea thanked the tailor. “Thank you very much.” “But, because the thread is black there will be a mark.” Just like the tailor said, since then there was a black mark down the middle of the pea.
