63 Flower in the Desert 在沙漠中的小花
This happened many many summers ago.
这个故事发生在很多很多个夏天以前。
There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking...It was growing by itself...enjoying every day...
在一个周围充满着干燥与衰落景象的沙漠中，有一朵小花正绽放着......她孤单地生长着......快乐地过着每一天......
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"...
太阳回答说："不要着急……我的光芒每接触你一次，你就会长大一点儿......"她对太阳说："我什么时候才能长大呀？"
And she was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand...
小花听了非常高兴。因为她有机会为这片沙漠增添一处绚丽的景色了......
And this is all she wanted to do---bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
这就是她梦寐以求的……为这个世界带来一点儿美丽。
One day the hunter came by---and stepped on her.---
一天，一个猎人经过这里……并从她身上踏了过去。……
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.
她即将死了……她感到十分悲伤。她悲伤的原因，并不是因为她将要死去，而是因为她再也没有机会为这片沙漠增添一处绚丽的景色了。
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.
一个伟大的精灵看到了她，并听到了她的哭诉。……事实上，他说......她应该活下去......于是，他来到沙漠上抚摸着她，并赋予了她生命。
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower...and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.
后来，她终于长大成了一朵美丽的花儿......这片沙漠也因她的存在而变得格外美丽。
