Once there was a rich man named Richard. He was greedy. One day he was walking in his garden. He saw a strange bird in a bush. It was very small. But it had very beautiful and colorful features. Its voice was also very sweet. Richard had never seen such a bird in his life. He slowly went near the bush and caught the bird.

“Why have you caught me?” the bird asked.

“I want to make money. I can sell you for a big amount,” replied Richard.

“You can not sell me. Nobody will buy me, because I lose my beautiful features and my sweet voice when I was caught.” Then it slowly turned into a black bird and look like a crow.

“Profit me! Really? ”said Richard. “But how can I trust you? You may fly away.”

Richard wanted to take a chance. He released the bird. It flew up at once. Then it sat on the branch of a tree. Its color started changing. It became beautiful again.

Richard asked,"Now teach me the rules.”

“Certainly.” said the bird. Then it added, “The first rule is ‘Never believe everything others say.’ The second rule is ‘Never be sad about something you do not have,’ The third rule is ‘（5）______.’ ”

“You silly bird.” shouted Richard. These three rules are known to everyone. You cheated me.

But the bird said, “Richard, just think about all your actions of today. You had me in your hands, but you threw me away. You believed all that I said. And you are sad about not having me. The rules are simple, but you never followed them. Now do you see the value of the rules?”

So saying the bird flew away and disappeared from his sight.

A man had two water pots. One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other was all right.

Every day, the man took the pots to the river because he wanted to get some water back home. When he arrived home, the good pot was full of water while the cracked one was only half full. The good pot was very happy. But the cracked pot was very sad. He said to the man, “I am sorry. I always lost water on the way back to your house.” The man said to the pot, “Don’t be sad. Can you see that there are many flowers on your side of the road, but none on the other side? That’s because I know you have a crack, and I planted flower seeds (种子) on your side of the road in spring. Every day while we are on the way back, you water them. I can use these beautiful flowers to make my house beautiful. Without you, I could not see such beauty.”

In our weakness (弱点) we find our strength (实力).

One sunny afternoon, Old Cat and Little Cat were fishing together by the riverside. A dragonfly (蜻蜓) flew over. Little Cat noticed it. He quickly put down his fishing rod (钓竿) and tried to catch the dragonfly. However, the dragonfly flew away. Little Cat had to go back and continue fishing. Just as Little Cat picked up his rod, Old Cat caught a big fish.

Shortly after that, another dragonfly flew over. Little Cat again dropped his fishing rod and tried to catch it. Of course, he failed again. Feeling awful, Little Cat returned to the riverside, only to find that Old Cat had caught another big fish.

“Why can’t I catch even a little fish?” Little Cat cried.

Old Cat replied, “If you’re fishing, just fish. You can’t expect to catch fish while spending your time catching dragonflies.”

After listening to Old Cat’s words, Little Cat began to fish carefully. The dragonflies flew over again, but Little Cat didn’t even raise his eyes. He held the fishing rod and waited patiently. Soon, Little Cat pulled the line back, showing off his first big fish of the day. Now, Little Cat realized that success requires patience and attention.
