A crooked tree 一棵弯曲的树

分类: 英语故事 

There was a dense forest. And all the trees were straight and tall. Their trunks were broad and shapely. But, there was one tree which had a crooked and shapeless trunk.

The crooked trunk tree was sad. He thought, "How ugly I am! All the others are straight and shapely. I alone have a crooked trunk."

One day a wood-cutter came to the forest. He looked around and said, "I will cut all the trees here, except that crooked tree. That one is of no use to me."

And so, he cut away all the other trees. Now, the crooked tree understands that being different has its advantages.

从前有一片茂密的森林。里面所有的树都长得又直又高,他们的树干都长得又宽阔又有型。但是,也有一棵树,树干弯弯曲曲,看上去不太好看。

这棵树干弯曲的树很难过。他想,“ 我长得真丑!其他的树都又直又有型,只有我,长得曲里拐弯的。”

有一天,有一个伐木者来到这片森林。他环望四周,说道:“ 我要把这里的树砍光,除了那颗弯曲的树。那棵树没啥用处。”

于是,他把其他的树都砍光了。现在,这棵弯曲的树明白了,和别人不同有时也有独特的好处。
