From the golden-tipped fields of mid-west America to the ancient kingdoms of verdant Palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed. In more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: April showers bring May flowers. This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death. Farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. They know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. Despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. The torrential rains in the month of April, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of May. But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. A broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. Everything has its place. Remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner… 四月雨带来五月花 从美国中西部金色的田野,到巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土,那些留心观察的人共享着同一个快乐真理。
近来这一真理被阐述为:四月的雨带来五月的花。这一真理预示光明会从黑暗中迸发;刚强生自软弱;如果你敢确信,生命会从死亡中萌发! 全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。
他们知道在哪个季节播种,哪个季节收获,每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下,迫使所有的户外劳作停止,但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便,但是他知道,雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。
四月里的豪雨,会带来五月里的繁花似锦。 但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼,它还是那些正经历着人生磨难的人的无限希冀:一段友谊的受挫会开启另一段崭新友谊的大门;此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。
万物皆有道! 请谨记:势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚,但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季,请坚持住,因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……。

守护彼岸花的是两个妖精,一个是花妖叫曼珠,一个是叶妖叫沙华。 他们守侯了几千年的彼岸花,可是从来没有见过面,因为开花的时候,就没有叶子,有叶子的时候就没有。
他们疯狂地想念着彼此,并被这种痛苦折磨着。终于有一天,他们决定违背神的规定偷偷地见一次面。
那一年的曼珠沙华红艳艳的花被惹眼的绿色衬托着,开得格外妖冶美丽。 神怪罪下来,这也是意料之中的。
曼珠和沙华被打入轮回,并被诅咒永远也不能在一起,生生世世在人世间受到磨难。从那以后,曼珠沙华也叫彼岸花,意思是开放在天国的花,花的形状像一只只在向天堂祈祷的手掌,可是在也没有在这个城市出现过。
这种花是开在黄泉路上的,曼珠和沙华每一次转世在黄泉路上闻到彼岸花的香味就能想起前世的自己,然后发誓不分开,在下一次再次跌入诅咒的轮回。
俗话说:“秋赏菊,冬扶梅,春种海棠,夏养牵牛。”
可见,在夏天的众多花草中,牵牛花可以算得上是宠儿了。 牵牛花有个俗名叫“勤娘子”,顾名思义,它是一种很勤劳的花。
每当公鸡刚啼过头遍,时针还指在“4”字左右的地方,绕篱萦架的牵牛花枝头,就开放出一朵朵喇叭似的花来。晨曦中人们一边呼吸着清新的空气,一边饱览着点缀于绿叶丛中的鲜花,真是别有一番情趣。
那一定会有人问:“牵牛花是怎么来的呢?”这可有一段动人的传说呢! 很久以前,也不知是什么地方,什么时候,突然出现了一座形状像伏着的牛一样的山,大家就给它取了个名字叫“伏牛山”。伏牛山下有个小村子,村子里人不多,其中一家有一对孪生姐妹。
村子里的人都很穷,没有钱买牛耕地,只有用一些自制的土工具来刨土、耕地。那对孪生姐妹就住在山脚下,她们在山前山后开垦了一些荒地,靠着自己的双手,春播、夏耘、秋收,日子还算勉强过得去。
姐妹二人心地善良,还经常接济比自己更穷的人。 有一天,姐妹二人正在刨地,突然刨到了一块特硬的地方,姐姐和妹妹把所有的工具都拿来,却怎么也刨不动一丝土。
姐妹二人累了半天,就坐在硬土边上歇一会儿。忽然,那块硬土自己裂开了,姐姐连忙瞪大了眼睛瞧着,里面发出银闪闪的光亮,妹妹跑过去拿出了一块东西,原来是一个银喇叭。
姐妹二人正在奇怪时,旁边突然走来了一个白须白发的老翁,老翁笑着对她们说:“这座山是玉皇大帝从天上降下来的,里面压着一百头青牛精,这些青牛精都修炼得很好,幻成人形,在人间作恶,是玉皇大帝收服了他们,并把他们压在伏牛山下,到今天,他们已整整压了九百年了,到明天他们就会全变成金牛,再也不会危害人间了。这个银喇叭就是伏牛山的钥匙,今天夜里听山里“哗啦啦”晌,过不久就会有一处发出金光,那就是山眼,只要把银喇叭插进去就行了。
不过还必须记住口诀‘伏牛山,哗啦啦,开山要我这银喇叭’念三遍,那山眼就会变大,可以进去抱出一头金牛,一辈子吃喝不愁了。这钥匙是九百年一现,只有一会儿灵验,天一亮就不灵了,千万不要被山关住了,否则就必死无疑。
还有,这银喇叭千万不能吹,否则一百头牛就全会变活冲出山口的。”两姐妹还没回过神来,那老翁已不见了。
姐妹二人知道遇上神仙了,心里很高兴。她们就赶紧回家,商量如何开山抱金牛。
姐姐说:“我们要把腿脚放快些,争取把一百头金牛都抱出来,分给穷乡亲,让大家都不再受地主的气,都过上好日子。”妹妹说:“金牛虽好不能当饭吃,黄灿灿的金,白亮亮的银,在富人眼里是值钱货,可在穷人眼里还不如一勺面呢。
如果吹响银喇叭,把那些金牛全变成活牛分给乡亲们,让他们有牛耕田,不更好吗?”姐姐高兴地同意了妹妹的意见。 于是,姐妹二人分头去通知乡亲们,交代他们夜里去伏牛山下牵牛。
夜里,天上没有月亮,也没有星星,山前山后漆黑一片,看不到一点亮光,姐姐拉着妹妹从山前转到山后,听了听,一点动静也没有,姐姐对妹妹说:“不要放弃,我们再等等。”就这样等到了五更,忽然听见山里面“哗啦啦”作响,山北坡放出一道耀眼的金光,姐妹俩急忙朝发光的地方跑去,只见那洞眼只有手指头那么粗,顺着洞眼往里看,见到内有一张金方桌,方桌上整齐地摆着一排排馒头大小的金牛。
妹妹忙把银喇叭拿出来插进山眼,姐姐忙念:“伏牛山,哗哗啦,开山要我这银喇叭。”念了三遍,山眼慢慢变大了,但只容一个人钻进去,姐姐闪身就进去了,妹妹也跟着进去了。
姐姐一进去就吹起了银喇叭,顿时桌上的金牛都变活了,它们伸伸腿,抖抖毛,跳下桌子来,就都变成了大牛,它们顺着山眼往外冲,当最后一头牛刚刚伸出头时,东方已经微微泛红了,山眼慢慢变小了,这一下要急坏了姐妹俩,。

little Millie asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?" "I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered. "You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?" "She is the one who sells the flower."“Why you buy flower?”“ ~ Eh,I just want to buy it for you on your birthday.”"you are a good girl"好孩子小米莉特向妈妈要两分钱。
“昨天给你的钱干什么了?”“我给了一个可怜的老太婆,”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子,”妈妈骄傲地说。
“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢?”“她是个卖花的。”
“额。
我只是想买它给你在你的生日。”
“你真是个好女孩。”如果他们英语水平高的,你可以把《杰克与豆蔓》改编一下,最后改成不是拿金蛋,而是花送给妈妈。

她有个洁癖,就是喜欢白色系的东西,从身上的衣着至居家的一切家具,都是使用白色的。她是以为虔诚的信徒,经常祈求神,祈求将来能嫁给一位与她同样清纯的夫婿。
在某个冬天的夜里,有人来敲门,她开门一看,竟是一位穿着白色衣着和长着白色翅膀的天使,天使对他说:“我是纯洁的天使,我知道在这世界上有位可以与你匹配的纯洁男性,所以特地赶来告诉你。”并从怀里掏出一粒种子对她说:“这是一颗天国里才有的花种子,你只要将它种在盆钵里,每天浇水,第八天它就会发芽,枝叶也会慢慢地茂盛起来,而最重要的是,你必须天天保持身心的纯洁,而且要每天吻它一次。”
当少女还没有来得及问清花名时,天使已消失在黑夜里。 Gardenia依照吩咐小心的栽培这颗种子,终于看到它开出纯白典雅的花朵。
算算日子也已一年了,就在这天夜里,天使又出现了,女孩高兴地述说那朵清香的美丽花朵以及一年来的心得。天使就说:“你真是位圣洁的少女,你将可以得到最清纯的男士来与你搭配成双。”
