Flower in The Desert








这个美丽的故事流传在美洲印第安土著中已近200年了，一朵荒漠中的小花，不是为了自己的艳丽，而执着于点缀这个世界的一角......



There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking... It was growing by itself... enjoying every day... and saying to the sun "When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient - Each time I touch you, you grow a little..." She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand... And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.



遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有朵小花，她独自生长在那里，享受着每一天......她问太阳公公"我什么时候才能长大？"太阳公公总是说"要有耐心-- 我每次抚摸你，你都会长大一点......"小花好开心啊，因为她也有机会为沙漠的一隅增添美丽了......这是她毕生的心愿-- 为这个世界增添一丝美丽。



One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.



一天，一位猎人经过--正好踩在她身上-- 她快要死了-- 她感到如此悲伤。并不是因为她即将死去，而是因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。



The great spirit saw her, and was listening. - Indeed, he said... She should be living... And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life.



伟大的精神看到了她，并且听到了她的心里话。......事实上，他在说......她应该活着......他俯下身，抚摸着她-- 给了她生命。



And she grew up to be a beautiful flower... and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.



她长成一朵美丽的花......由于她的存在，这沙漠的一隅变得如此美丽。
