第一篇：Long,long ago there lived a king.He loved horses. One day he asked an artist to draw him a beautiful horse. The artist said,“All right, but you must wait.” So the king waited. He waited and waited. At last, after a year he could not wait any longer. He went to see the artist himself.
Quickly the artist brought out paper and a brush. In five minutes he finished drawing a very beautiful horse. The king was angry. “You can draw a good horse in five minutes, yet you kept me waiting for a year. Why?”
“Come with me,please,” said the artist. They went to the artist’s workroom.. There the king saw piles and piles of paper. On every piece of paper was a picture of a horse. “It took me more than a year to learn to draw a beautiful horse in five minutes.” the artist said.
第二篇：Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignant ， so unutterable， with such a bitter pain and joy， when we are young? It is this：that being rich， we are so poor; that being mighty， we can yet have nothing; that seeing， breathig， smelling， tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth， feeling with an intolerable
certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life – the most fortunate， wealthy， good， and happy life that any man has ever known – is ours – is ours at once， immediately and forever， the moment that we choose to take a step， or stretch a hand， or say a word—— we yet know that we can really keep， hold， take， and possess forever—— nothing. All passes; nothing lasts：the moment that we put our hand upon it ， it melts away like smoke， is gone forever， and the snake is eating at our heart again; we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.
