[00:04.54]The stories and the words we read everyday are not just scraps of paper,
[00:10.79] but pearls of thought.
[00:13.29] If we link up these unique pearls,
[00:15.81] we will finally get a precious necklace.
[00:23.03]Let Go of Love将爱放飞
[00:26.77]There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.
[00:32.24] One day while she was walking in the woods
[00:35.19]she found two starving songbirds.
[00:38.03]She took them home and put them in a small cage.
[00:41.43] She cared them with love and the birds grew strong.
[00:45.91] Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.
[00:49.52]The girl felt great love for the birds.
[00:53.57]One day the girl left the door to the cage open.
[00:57.29]The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.
[01:01.88] The girl was so frightened that he would fly away.
[01:05.82]As he flew close, she grasped him wildly.
[01:09.52] Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him.
[01:13.47] Suddenly she felt the bird go limp.
[01:16.76]She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.
[01:21.02] Her desperate love had killed him.
[01:23.86]She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.
[01:29.12] She could feel his great need for freedom.
[01:31.95]He needed to soar into the clear, blue sky.
[01:35.24]She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air.
[01:40.27] The bird circled once, twice, three times.
[01:44.97]The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment.
[01:48.92]Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.
[01:52.30] She wanted the bird to be happy.
[01:54.71]Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.
[01:59.41] It sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard.
[02:03.78]The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight;
[02:08.75] the best way to keep love is to give it WINGS!
