A Story to be Shared
(下面这个故事是个英语小寓言,虽然简单,但是附着的小诗不错,
可以时时鼓励自己一下。)
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 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 have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she said. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what
had happened.
"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 wanted to know.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said
pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another
one, "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
case, let 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: "Would it not
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 3 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 2 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 have stayed out, but since you
invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there
is Love, there is also Wealth and Success !"
OUR WISH FOR YOU...
Where there is pain, we wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting, we wish you a renewed confidence
in Your Ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, we wish you
understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
Where there is fear, we wish you love, and courage.
