This happened many summers ago. There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking.
这个故事发生在很久以前的一个夏天。 遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有株幼小的花苗。
It was growing by itself, enjoying every day, and saying to the sun, “When shall I be grown up?” And the sun would say, “Be patient. Each time I touch you, you grow a little.”
她独自生长着,享受着每一天。她问太阳:“我什么时候才能长大呢?” 太阳对她说:“你得有耐心。每当我的光芒照到你身上,你都会长大一点。”
And she was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand. And this is all she wanted to do:bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
小花苗听了很高兴,因为这样她就有机会让这个沙漠的角落变得美丽些。 这就是她想要做的:为这个世界带来一点美丽。
One day the hunter came by—and stepped onher. She was going to die and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.
一天,一个猎人经过的时候踩到了她。 小花苗奄奄一息,悲伤不已:不是因为自己快死了,而是因为她没有机会给这个沙漠的角落增添一抹亮色。
The great spirit saw her, and was listening. Indeed, he said she should be living. And he reached down and touched her and gave her life.
伟大的神灵看到了她,听到了她的心声,说她应该活下去。于是他伸出手,轻触小花苗,让她又活了过来。
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.
后来,小花苗终于开出了美丽的花。这沙漠的一角也因她变得美丽起来。
善良的内心必然带来好运。
