玫瑰和莧菜 The Rose and the Amaranth(1 / 1)

花園裏,莧菜和玫瑰生長在一起。它對玫瑰說: “看你們長得多漂亮啊 !神靈和人類都非常喜歡你們。我是多麼羨慕你美麗的外表和芬芳的氣味啊 !”“不,莧菜, ”玫瑰回答說, “我的花瓣再好看,也隻有幾天壽命罷了!即使大家不來采摘,我也會自行凋謝的。而你就不同了,一年四季都可以長出新枝嫩葉。 ”

接受自己的命運。

An Amaranth planted in a garden near a Rose-Tree,thus addressed it, “What a lovely .ower is the Rose,a favorite alike with Gods and with men. I envy you your beauty ahe Rose replied,”I indeed, dear Amaranth,flourish but for a brief season! If no d plu,yet I must perish by an early doom. But thou art immortal and dost blooms for ever ih.”

Accept your own fate.
