青 蛙 的 故 事
青蛙的故事
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

“Why are you sad?” asked the ant. “I’m the prisoner of the giant,” the girl told the ant. “He won’t let me go until I’ve made three separate heaps of grain, barley (大麦) and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.” “That will take you a month!” the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds. “I know,” the girl cried, “and if I haven’t finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!” “Don’t cry,” the ant said, “my friends and I will help you.”

青蛙的故事
Be careful of what you say. The power of words is sometimes hard to understand because an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
青蛙的故事
This story teaches us two lessons: 1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him up and help him make it through the day. 2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill him.

蚂蚁与小女孩
There was once an ant that was very thirsty. It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any. Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it. The ant drank the water, which saved its life. The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings. The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.
