THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM 有些事并不象它看上去那样 Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family。
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom。 Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement。
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it。
When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem。
" 两个旅行中的天使到一个富有的家庭借宿。这家人对他们并不友好,并且拒绝让他们在舒适的客人卧室过夜,而是在冰冷的地下室给他们找了一个角落。当他们铺床时,较老的天使发现墙上有一个洞,就顺手把它修补好了。
年轻的天使问为什么,老天使答到:“有些事并不象它看上去那样。” The power to appreciate beauty not only increase our sources of happiness—it enlarges our moral nature。
Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares。 Go into the field or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish。
Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away。 The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness。
