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.
Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
烟雾之中,星光之下,月影之侧;淡如烟,淡如雾,山也虚无,树也缥缈。现实的生命中没有什么是完美的,有时平静,有时狂喜;时而寂寞,时而热闹;或欢喜,或悲哀。一天一天过去,过去的无法挽留。今天我很累。真的很累,有太多的事想去做要去做,没有时间伤感,没有时间流泪。真的太累,累得我想永远闭上眼睛,就此长眠——说说而已,到底做一次人不容易,谁知道下辈子自己做什么。时间流逝,赶快做自己想做的事。我撑着眼皮,运了运气,稍稍振作。
累嘛,那么就在暖和的被窝里继续生命;或者打开电脑,插上电话线,“嘀嘀”几声后,进入网络世界,开始第二空间的生命。进入网民们直接交流的`地方“聊天室”,入门就一句:“今天我很累啊。”取一个自己满意的名字,不必经过父母的同意,取老爸的名字也行。聆听着清脆的敲击键盘声音,所有的神经都跟着抽动。想回古代做大侠?当然可以,拿上铲子去“挖泥巴”(MUD,做女侠,打工,练功,寻访名师高人,福缘好可以碰到小龙女呢!好人恶人有,美人丑人亦有,重要的是可以做自己想做的事、想做的人,邪派正派随你拜。取个侠客的名字,什么“孤芳自赏”、“温柔一刀”、“剑神”,甚至叫(呵呵“大饼”也行。
今天我很累,其实我本来就很懒,瞧,我的ID拜的就是丐帮妙手空空儿门下,专学讨饭和偷东西。只要功夫深,gold就丢来。专门等高手PK后,马上getalltrom尸体。然后赶快逃,人家就抓不到你了,最好戴上面罩,嘻嘻……没人认得我。好累啊,丐帮弟子只要找个角落就可以睡下。唉,人不潇洒枉少年,千里只为寻清闲,疯疯癫癫过街市,角落里面梦周公。逍遥啊……MUD里真是比活着还像活着。
长叹一口气。打坐,吐纳,运足精力。今天好累啊,休息喽,人生短短几个秋,愁情烦事别放心头。好好休息了,为明天做准备,将来总不可能真的当街乞讨吧!
玉露含珠、银河泻影、月洁风清之夜,我掀开被子,倒头进入了梦乡……
