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.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。
我原本对自己的人生怀满信心,可是,一次考试把我打垮了,从此我对人生根本没有希望。
这时,张老师的一句话,改变了我对人生的看法。有一天,我们正在上《种一片太阳花》,张老师说“课文里的太阳花很坚强。作为一个人,要是不坚强,就容易被打倒,所以那些学习不好的学生只要认真,坚强起来,也一样可以变成天才。”听了这话,我改变了对人生的看法。是呀,只要坚强起来,就一定会成功。人生不过是一场游戏,是一场有意义的游戏,只有坚强才有自己的归宿。从此以后,我就坚强了起来,向着目标进发。现在,我已经成了我们班的“东方不败”。
还有一次,我本来是一个不喜欢看书的'人,家里人都说我只会看电视,可是老师说:“读书吧,多得知识,绝对不是坏事。”由此,我想起高尔基说的:“热爱书吧,书是人类进步的阶梯。”后来,我就立下了一个志向,就是考上清华、北大,来报答老师和父母的恩情。
我总忘不了那几句话,这是我永远也不会忘记的几句话,因为它改变了我的人生,让我健康成长!

有一个星期日,我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。
当我们沿着道路行走的.时候,太阳灿烂地照耀着,微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着,并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲,风景实十分美丽。
当我们感觉到疲倦的时候,我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。
