　　：一塊大金子

　　Once upon a time there was a rich village. The wealthiest of the villagers decided to hide a huge lump of gold to protect it from bandits and robbers. So he buried it in a nearby rice field.

　　從前有一個富裕的村莊。村民中最有錢的人決定將一大塊金子藏起來以免土匪和強盜來打劫。於是他將那塊金子埋在附近的稻田地裡。

　　Many years later, the village was no longer rich, and the rice field was abandoned and unused. A poor farmer decided to plow the field. After some time plowing, it just so happened that his plow struck the long forgotten buried treasure.

　　許多年後，村子不再像以前那樣富裕，稻田地被荒廢，沒有人再去耕種，一個貧窮的農民決定去犁地。犁了一些地後，犁頭恰巧碰到了那塊早被人們遺忘的金子。

　　At first he thought it must be a very hard tree root. But when he uncovered it, he saw that it was beautiful shining gold. Since it was daytime he was afraid to try and take it with him. So he covered it up again and waited for nightfall.

　　起先，農民以為犁頭一定是翻到了堅硬的樹根，但他扒開土時，才看到那是一塊閃光的金子。在白天他不敢將金子拿回家，於是他又將金子埋起來並等待夜幕的降臨。

　　The poor farmer returned in the middle of the night. Again he uncovered the golden treasure. He tried to lift it, but it was far too heavy. He tied ropes around it and tried to drag it. But it was so huge he couldn’t budge it an inch. He became frustrated, thinking he was lucky to find a treasure, and unlucky to not be able to take it with him. He even tried kicking the huge lump of gold. But again it wouldn’t budge an inch.

　　半夜時，農民回來了。他將金子挖出來，想抬走金子，但是金子是在太重了，他用繩子將金塊捆住，想將金子拽回去。但是金塊太大了以致於他根本無法挪動。農民開始心煩，心想他能夠幸運地找到金子，卻無法抬走真是太倒黴了。他甚至去踢金塊，但是金塊仍然紋絲不動。

　　Then he sat down and began to consider the situation. He decided the only thing to do was to break the lump of gold into four smaller lumps. Then he could carry home one piece at a time.

　　農民坐下來開始想辦法。他決定唯一可行的辦法就是將金塊分成4個小塊。那樣他每次可以抬一塊回家。

　　He thought, "One lump I will use for ordinary day-to-day living. The second lump I will save for a rainy day. The third lump I will invest in my farming business. And I will gain merit with the fourth lump by giving it to the poor and needy and for other good works."

　　他這樣盤算著：“一塊金子用來支付日常的花銷。第二塊金子我會儲存起來度過雨季。第三塊金子我會用來投資農場生意。第四塊金子施捨給窮人和需要幫助的人，和交換其它的好東西，這樣我就可以獲得很多好處。”

　　With a calm mind he divided the huge lump of gold into these four smaller lumps. Then it was easy to carry them home on four separate trips.

　　於是他平靜地將那塊金子分成4個小塊。然後分4次將金塊帶回家。

　　Afterwards he lived happily.

　　從那以後他幸福地生活著。

　　：女人全都為愛而生

　　A little boy asked his mother: “Why are you crying?”

　　“Because I am a woman.” She told him.

　　“I don’t understand” he said.

　　His mum just hugged him and said: “And you never will.”

　　Later the little boy asked his father: “ Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”

　　“All woman cry for no reason.” Was all his dad could say.

　　The little boy grow up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

　　Finally he put in a call to God, when God got on the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so easily?”

　　God said: “ When I made the women, she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort.

　　I gave her inner strength to endure childbirth, and the rejections many times comes from her children.

　　I gave her hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complains.

　　“I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even her children has hurt her very badly.

　　“I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.”

　　“I gave her the wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strength and resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.”

　　“And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. That is her exclusively to use whenever it is needed.”

　　“You see the beauty of a women is not the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.”

　　“The beauty of a women must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where the love resides.”

　　【中文譯文】

　　一個男孩問他的媽媽：“ 你為什麼要哭呢?”

　　媽媽說：“因為我是女人啊。”

　　男孩說：“我不懂."

　　他媽媽抱起他說：“你永遠不會懂的。

　　後來小男孩就問他爸爸：“媽媽為什麼毫無理由的哭呢?”

　　他爸爸只能說：“所有女人都這樣”.

　　小男孩長大了，成為一個男人，但他仍就不懂女人為什麼哭泣

　　最後，他打電話給上帝;在上帝拿起電話時，他問道：“上帝，女人為什麼那麼容易哭泣呢?”

　　上帝回答說：“當我創造女人時，就讓她很特別。我使她的肩膀能挑起整個世界;同時卻柔情似水能給人安慰。

　　“我讓她的內心很堅強，能夠承受分娩的痛苦，並能多次忍受來自自己孩子的拒絕。”

　　“我賦予她耐心使她能在別人選擇放棄的時候繼續堅持著，並且無怨無悔的照顧自己的家人度過疾病與疲勞.

　　“我賦予她在任何情況下都會愛孩子的感情，即使她的孩子傷害了她。”

　　“我賦予她包容她丈夫過錯的堅強，並用他的勒骨塑成她來保護他的心。”

　　“我賦予她智慧讓她知道一個好丈夫是絕不會傷害他的妻子的，但有時我也會考驗她支援自已丈夫的堅持與決心.

　　“最後，我讓她可以流淚。只要她願意，這是她所獨有的。”

　　“你看，女人的漂亮不是因為她穿的衣服，她保持的體型或者她梳的髮型。”

　　“女人的美麗只能在她的眼睛裡找到，因為那是她心靈的視窗，愛居住的地方。”
