伊索寓言：蔷薇与鸡冠花
阅读 : 次
The Rose and the Amaranth
A Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favorite." But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for they are everlasting."
"Greatness carries its own penalties."
蔷薇与鸡冠花
蔷薇和鸡冠花生长在一起。有一天，鸡冠花对蔷薇说：「你是世上最美丽的花朵，神和人们都十分喜爱你，我真 慕你有漂亮的颜色和芬芳的香味。」蔷薇回答说：「鸡冠花啊，我仅昙花一现，即使人们不去摘，也会凋零，你却是永久开着花，青春常在。」
这个故事带出的启示就是：事物各有所长，也各有所短，不必 慕别人有你所没有的东西，你也有别人所没有的东西。
