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.
上海世博会召开了,世界各国的朋友齐聚上海,热热闹闹,而这几天,气温越来越高,五一过了,夏天来了。
要说夏天,最美的是夏天的夜晚。在这样一个周末的夜晚,心情格外轻松和愉快。白天的阳光灿烂,炙热。夏天的夜晚,是夏天一天中最为凉爽的时刻。大家吃过晚饭,很多人来到院子里,马路旁,就着空旷的场地,散步聊天。有的人,坐在台阶上,满脸微笑。喜欢在这样的夜晚,轻松闲适,散步聊天,忘记了一天的疲惫。
夏天,就这样来了。夏天的夜晚,是夏天最美的时刻。
没有了白天阳光的炙热,夏天的夜晚,凉爽。天蒙蒙黑了下来,路旁的灯火,小区居民的窗户都亮了起来。在夜晚深蓝色的天幕里,星星点点,和着灯火,格外美丽。月亮偷偷升了起来,笑了。
院子里,大人的谈话声、小孩的笑声,还有马路上汽车嘀嘀喇叭声。在这样的夜晚,热闹轻松的画面,把白天的劳累赶走了。
大自然如此亲切和真实,安静的夜晚,悦悦的夏日。蕴含强大的。力量,是春天所没有的。暖暖的风吹过来,很舒服。仿佛把自然的力量带到了心中。夜晚的夏日,轻盈地蹦,无拘无束地跑,放松心情,这份欣喜,这份活力。
夏天的夜晚安静,夏天的夜晚热闹。那是天上的星星,是深蓝色的天空,是满街的路灯,是万家的灯火,是路上的车流,是汽车的鸣笛声。是小孩的嬉笑,是行人的笑声。沉浸在这样的一副画卷中,满足,快乐。
这样的夜晚,温暖,凉爽的风吹过,惬意又舒服。
夏天的夜晚,绿叶在雨中婆娑,树枝随风飞舞。比淅沥小雨的春天更加鲜活又明快。散步的人们,健康红润的脸,矫健的脚步,开心的笑容。充满着生命的力量,在深沉坚实的大地上。
大自然如此美好又亲切,感谢这样的自然,感谢夏天的夜晚。
夏天的夜晚,雨后感到天气凉爽爽的,我和妈妈到小区的公园里去散步。
天上的星星眨着眼睛,一轮圆月躲在云层里,若隐若现,仿佛蒙着面纱的少女,害羞得很!迎面吹来一阵清新的风,我们一边走一边漫不经心地欣赏美丽的风景。那里十分得热闹:几位年迈的大妈正随着音乐扭着腰跳秧歌,旁边的一只小狗也跟着跳了起来。一些小孩子正在慢条斯理地爬树,展示自己的厉害。忙碌一天的人们有的坐在石椅上休息,有的交头接耳、窃窃私语。树上的知了悠闲地唱着歌,“吱吱吱吱”地叫着,像在高歌一曲……我看见一位男孩子正在把铁树上的花摘下来,扔到了草丛中。我急忙走到他的面前,严厉地问:“你刚才在干什么?”他若无其事地回答:“没什么?”我听了,生气地说:“你刚才做的事情我看得一清二楚,你知不知道,清洁工把这里打扫得干干净净,而你却既破坏环境又伤害植物,情况简直太恶劣了!”他低下头,红着脸,像熟透的苹果,头点个不停,像小鸡啄米似的,低声说:“下次我不会再做这样的事了。”说完他就踏着沉重的脚步走了。
一阵风吹过,听见了树叶发出“唦唦”的响声,我迎声一瞧,原来是一棵苍翠高大的树。我仔细观察这棵树,树上结了一些大得像球、小得像梨、绿绿的果实,我好奇地问妈妈:“这是什么树呀?”妈妈听了,也惊奇地看了看,闻了闻树上的叶子,有股浓厚的柚木香味,认真地说:“这是棵柚子树,过了几个月果实就会变得更加大,颜色变成黄色了。我听了,恍然大悟,情不自禁地点了点头。我心里暗暗地想:这里怎么会有这种树呢?难道是一个人吃柚子的时候无意中吐出来了一颗籽落入泥土里,日久天长,经过风吹雨打,最后变成了一棵柚子树。
夏天的夜晚是神秘的,探索的,你不妨也出来探个究竟!
