The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: “If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.” The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar,came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free.
exclaimed: “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any.

时间过得真快呀,时针“嗒嗒”地飞跃到了20xx年。这时的我,实现了我梦寐以求的愿望,成了发明家。
我和机器人“无比”已发明了机项国际专利产品。这不,我有刚刚发明了一种奇妙的课桌。
这种课桌全是用一种超强的\'特殊玻璃做的。抽屉的左边有一个红色的按钮,右边有一个绿色的按钮。在炎热的夏天,只要你轻轻按一下右边绿色的按钮,桌子就会变凉起来,人伏在上面,顿时会感觉全身凉;寒冷的冬天,也不会担心在桌子上写字时会冻伤手,你只要按一下左边红色的按钮,桌子会变得暖和起来,非常舒服。
如果你读书写字时,姿势不正确,他也可以帮你纠正。比如,胸部与课桌的距离不够一拳头,或者是眼睛与课本没有一尺左右,那他桌前的机械手便会自动纠正你的坐姿。从而保证同学们身体的正常发育。
他还有自动回收功能呢。如果同学们的东西不小心掉在地上,那桌脚的两只机械手就会大显身手,将掉在地上的学习用品捡起来放在桌上,你就不会再弯下腰去苦苦搜寻了。
有人一定会问,这桌子是用玻璃桌的,万一压碎了怎么办?这你就不用杞人忧天了。告诉你吧,它是使用高科技材料做成的,至少可以承受20吨以上的压力,即使你们全班同学挤在一张玻璃桌上,他也安然无恙。
当然,我还的遗憾地告诉你,这种课桌唯一的“缺点”就是:上课时,你的每一个小动作都无法进行,你的一举一动都逃不过老师的眼神,因为课桌是透明的。同学们,这不会给你们带来不便吧?
A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.
You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his gripand as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.
Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.
There is nothing to fear.
