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.
有一次,在一个明媚的早晨,我和书法室的朋友们一起早早的去到了书法室,正当我们拿起毛笔准备写字的时候。邓老师,也就是叫我们学习书法的老师踏着沉重的脚步走了进来,我们都惊讶地望着老师,毕竟,老师在我们的'眼里都是幽默的,很少会露出这样沉重的表情。
“老师,出了什么事情?”书法室的一个比较胆大的女生小心翼翼的对着老师说道。
“同学们,今天我要宣布一件事。”老师听了那位同学的话,有些犹豫地说道。
我和在座的书法室的同学相视一望,那轻松的微笑也随着老师的沉重而消失了,留下的都是我们大家那严肃的表情。
“这一次的书法比赛,唯一获得书法现场比赛的同学只有一位,并且,县里的书法比赛也就只有一位同学获得了奖——二等奖。唯一的一个啊!你们知道这位同学是谁吗?”老师严肃而沉重的望着我们。
我们一并摇了摇头,不知是何时,我的头有些沉重了,眼睛也一酸。因为我知道,唯一得奖的不是我,而是——“张振浩同学,你看,这一次的比赛一位都是张振浩同学啊!老师告诉你们,以你们现在的水平,完完全全是可以获得奖的。现在老师告诉了你们,你们以后会不会选择放弃学习书法。”
“不会”我和书法室的同学一并齐声吼道。是的,不会,因为这一次没有获得奖,是因为我们大家都没有张振浩同学那么努力,所以我们没有得奖,到了下一次的比赛,我一定会得奖。加油!我在心里安慰着自己。
回到家,我把这一件事告诉了母亲,妈妈语重心长的对我说道:“虽然你这一次没有得奖,但是这并不表示你下一次不能得奖啊,加油,相信自己下一次能够得奖,给自己选择一个目标。你要记住,人生所发生的挫折,就要努力去打败它,不要让它再继续将挫折延续下去。
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.
