Near my home there is a field with two horses. From a distance, they look the same. But if you get a closer look, you will notice something quite interesting. Clare is a hard working mother horse. But she became blind after she was ill. So her son Dony could be her eyes.
Farmer Jim always worries about the problem of Clare. He wants to give the poor horse a better life. He puts a bell around Dony’s neck. When Clare begins to work, Dony is always in front of her. He lets his mother know where he is. So she can follow (跟随). And Dony is always looking back at his mother. Clare will listen to the bell and then slowly walk to her son. She believes her son is right.
When Dony goes back to the barn (畜棚) on the farm each evening, he will stop to look back. He wants to know that his mother is close enough to hear the bell. And the mother likes to teach her son something useful.
Sometimes we are the blind horses. We need others’ help. And at other times we are the guide horses. We should help others to find their way.
