Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
Why students can't help wearing expensive things which are famous brands?
The reason why they prefer to wear expensive clothes is just for face. Some students thought the more expensive they wear, the more confident they are. Only wearing brand clothes can they become proud. Some students are afraid to looked down if they don't wear brands things. It is easy for students to compare what they wear.
As far as I am concerned, I don't agree that students pursue famous brand. Most students can't earn money by themselves. We can't waste the money to buy expensive things which are not useful. It is hard for parents to make money. Remember, the main task of the students is to study.
时间慢慢过去,我也逐渐成长,怀揣梦想的我努力考取优异成绩进入了目前这所学校。努力奋斗的一大原因就是为要加入学校的橄榄球俱乐部。为什么我要加入橄榄球俱乐部呢?总结出来大致有这么几点原因:
第一,橄榄球是一项非常强调组织配合的竞技团队运动,不可能说是依靠单个人的'努力就能成功。因此,我若想要在橄榄球这项运动上有所提高发展,就必须融入橄榄球运动团体,与各路橄榄球高手切磋球技,配合进取。第二,橄榄球俱乐部里有许许多多的橄榄球爱好者,他们都是与我志同道合的人,如果与他们时常在一起训练努力,那么我的橄榄球实力就可以增进不少,水平实力也可以大增,对于橄榄球的理解也会加多。第三,目前国内的橄榄球运动发展缓慢,原因并非是橄榄球不吸引人而是没有让更多青年人感受到橄榄球的魅力。作为一名橄榄球的爱好者,我觉得自己有义务也有肩负为橄榄球运动的普及与发展贡献一份力量,这也是需要我加入橄榄球俱乐部与大集体产生联络建立沟通的。
总而言之,橄榄球是我热爱的,因此我热诚希望加入橄榄球俱乐部。
五月初五这天,汩罗江边站着一名衣衫褴褛的男子,他便是屈原。他满脸憔悴,在嘴里念道:“举世皆浊我独清,众人皆醉我独醒。”说着便爬上了栏杆准备投江自尽。
忽然,一只手拉住了他。屈原回头一看,是一个满脸严肃的保安。保安硬是把屈原拉下来说:“屈原啊,你要寻死我管不了,可是你要攀爬栏杆我就要罚款了,罚款100元。”屈原一听,立刻老泪纵横:“呜呜,年轻人,你可怜、可怜我吧!我小时候就被别人偷了1块钱,七岁掉钱袋,十岁遇人打劫……。”保安不耐烦地说:“算了,看在你是个大名人份上,只要你给我签个名就免罚款了。”说着递上一张纸和笔。签完名后,屈原听见背后传来保安的笑声:“哈哈,这下可以拍卖个十万、八万吧!”屈原叹了口气:“哎,现代的人呀!”
屈原正要翻过围栏,往下跳,又有一只手拉住了他。屈原扭头一看,见一个穿着西装,一副老板模样的中年人,中年人着急地说:“屈原先生啊,你要寻死我不会阻拦!可是你要为人们XX心理医院拍个广告再死也不迟呀!”屈原问:“怎样拍法?”“等一下你装着要跳河,然后一个穿白大褂的心理医生会冲过来拦住并开导你,最后你要做出恍然大悟的样子对着镜头说:哦,原来人生如此好!”这一万块钱就是你的。“这不是要我伪装吗?我堂堂一个大人物怎么可以做这种事情,我不干!”屈原听了大怒,转身欲跳河。
忽然,旁边传来了一个声音:“屈原先生,你到底还要不要跳河啊!”屈原回过头,立刻看到一群“狗仔队”围着自己,问:“你们在这儿做什么呀?”一个握着摄像机的`男人说:“当然是来看你跳河啦!你还不快跳,你不跳,我们还怎么作报道啊!”屈原气得脸色铁青,这个世界也没有什么值得他留恋了,于是他摆出了跳河的POSE。
可是他往下一望,发现河水肮脏极了,黑色的江水中漂浮着垃圾,这还跳得下去吗?汨罗江的臭气也飘了上来,屈原被熏晕了,往后一倒,改变了历史――撞在一棵榕树上,死了。
