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… 四月雨帶來(lái)五月花 從美國中西部金色的田野,到巴勒斯坦嫩綠色的古老疆土,那些留心觀(guān)察的人共享著(zhù)同一個(gè)快樂(lè )真理。
近來(lái)這一真理被闡述為:四月的雨帶來(lái)五月的花。這一真理預示光明會(huì )從黑暗中迸發(fā);剛強生自軟弱;如果你敢確信,生命會(huì )從死亡中萌發(fā)! 全世界的農民們都明白季節的重要性和永恒性。
他們知道在哪個(gè)季節播種,哪個(gè)季節收獲,每件事都必須應時(shí)而做!雖然暴雨無(wú)情地傾盆而下,迫使所有的戶(hù)外勞作停止,但土地的主人會(huì )仰天微笑。盡管有諸多不便,但是他知道,雨會(huì )為他的莊稼帶來(lái)繁茂生長(cháng)所需的營(yíng)養。
四月里的豪雨,會(huì )帶來(lái)五月里的繁花似錦。 但是這一古老真理并不只適用于田里的莊稼,它還是那些正經(jīng)歷著(zhù)人生磨難的人的無(wú)限希冀:一段友誼的受挫會(huì )開(kāi)啟另一段嶄新友誼的大門(mén);此處失去的工作會(huì )提供彼處更好的工作機會(huì );一個(gè)夢(mèng)想的破滅會(huì )成為美好未來(lái)的基石。
萬(wàn)物皆有道! 請謹記:勢不可擋的黑暗或有一晚,但它永遠無(wú)法阻擋清晨的萬(wàn)丈光芒!當你正處于悲傷之季,請堅持住,因為歡樂(lè )的季節也許馬上就會(huì )到來(lái)……。

守護彼岸花的是兩個(gè)妖精,一個(gè)是花妖叫曼珠,一個(gè)是葉妖叫沙華。 他們守侯了幾千年的彼岸花,可是從來(lái)沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)面,因為開(kāi)花的時(shí)候,就沒(méi)有葉子,有葉子的時(shí)候就沒(méi)有。
他們瘋狂地想念著(zhù)彼此,并被這種痛苦折磨著(zhù)。終于有一天,他們決定違背神的規定偷偷地見(jiàn)一次面。
那一年的曼珠沙華紅艷艷的花被惹眼的綠色襯托著(zhù),開(kāi)得格外妖冶美麗。 神怪罪下來(lái),這也是意料之中的。
曼珠和沙華被打入輪回,并被詛咒永遠也不能在一起,生生世世在人世間受到磨難。從那以后,曼珠沙華也叫彼岸花,意思是開(kāi)放在天國的花,花的形狀像一只只在向天堂祈禱的手掌,可是在也沒(méi)有在這個(gè)城市出現過(guò)。
這種花是開(kāi)在黃泉路上的,曼珠和沙華每一次轉世在黃泉路上聞到彼岸花的香味就能想起前世的自己,然后發(fā)誓不分開(kāi),在下一次再次跌入詛咒的輪回。
俗話(huà)說(shuō):“秋賞菊,冬扶梅,春種海棠,夏養牽牛。”
可見(jiàn),在夏天的眾多花草中,牽牛花可以算得上是寵兒了。 牽牛花有個(gè)俗名叫“勤娘子”,顧名思義,它是一種很勤勞的花。
每當公雞剛啼過(guò)頭遍,時(shí)針還指在“4”字左右的地方,繞籬縈架的牽牛花枝頭,就開(kāi)放出一朵朵喇叭似的花來(lái)。晨曦中人們一邊呼吸著(zhù)清新的空氣,一邊飽覽著(zhù)點(diǎn)綴于綠葉叢中的鮮花,真是別有一番情趣。
那一定會(huì )有人問(wèn):“牽牛花是怎么來(lái)的呢?”這可有一段動(dòng)人的傳說(shuō)呢! 很久以前,也不知是什么地方,什么時(shí)候,突然出現了一座形狀像伏著(zhù)的牛一樣的山,大家就給它取了個(gè)名字叫“伏牛山”。伏牛山下有個(gè)小村子,村子里人不多,其中一家有一對孿生姐妹。
村子里的人都很窮,沒(méi)有錢(qián)買(mǎi)牛耕地,只有用一些自制的土工具來(lái)刨土、耕地。那對孿生姐妹就住在山腳下,她們在山前山后開(kāi)墾了一些荒地,靠著(zhù)自己的雙手,春播、夏耘、秋收,日子還算勉強過(guò)得去。
姐妹二人心地善良,還經(jīng)常接濟比自己更窮的人。 有一天,姐妹二人正在刨地,突然刨到了一塊特硬的地方,姐姐和妹妹把所有的工具都拿來(lái),卻怎么也刨不動(dòng)一絲土。
姐妹二人累了半天,就坐在硬土邊上歇一會(huì )兒。忽然,那塊硬土自己裂開(kāi)了,姐姐連忙瞪大了眼睛瞧著(zhù),里面發(fā)出銀閃閃的光亮,妹妹跑過(guò)去拿出了一塊東西,原來(lái)是一個(gè)銀喇叭。
姐妹二人正在奇怪時(shí),旁邊突然走來(lái)了一個(gè)白須白發(fā)的老翁,老翁笑著(zhù)對她們說(shuō):“這座山是玉皇大帝從天上降下來(lái)的,里面壓著(zhù)一百頭青牛精,這些青牛精都修煉得很好,幻成人形,在人間作惡,是玉皇大帝收服了他們,并把他們壓在伏牛山下,到今天,他們已整整壓了九百年了,到明天他們就會(huì )全變成金牛,再也不會(huì )危害人間了。這個(gè)銀喇叭就是伏牛山的鑰匙,今天夜里聽(tīng)山里“嘩啦啦”晌,過(guò)不久就會(huì )有一處發(fā)出金光,那就是山眼,只要把銀喇叭插進(jìn)去就行了。
不過(guò)還必須記住口訣‘伏牛山,嘩啦啦,開(kāi)山要我這銀喇叭’念三遍,那山眼就會(huì )變大,可以進(jìn)去抱出一頭金牛,一輩子吃喝不愁了。這鑰匙是九百年一現,只有一會(huì )兒靈驗,天一亮就不靈了,千萬(wàn)不要被山關(guān)住了,否則就必死無(wú)疑。
還有,這銀喇叭千萬(wàn)不能吹,否則一百頭牛就全會(huì )變活沖出山口的。”兩姐妹還沒(méi)回過(guò)神來(lái),那老翁已不見(jiàn)了。
姐妹二人知道遇上神仙了,心里很高興。她們就趕緊回家,商量如何開(kāi)山抱金牛。
姐姐說(shuō):“我們要把腿腳放快些,爭取把一百頭金牛都抱出來(lái),分給窮鄉親,讓大家都不再受地主的氣,都過(guò)上好日子。”妹妹說(shuō):“金牛雖好不能當飯吃,黃燦燦的金,白亮亮的銀,在富人眼里是值錢(qián)貨,可在窮人眼里還不如一勺面呢。
如果吹響銀喇叭,把那些金牛全變成活牛分給鄉親們,讓他們有牛耕田,不更好嗎?”姐姐高興地同意了妹妹的意見(jiàn)。 于是,姐妹二人分頭去通知鄉親們,交代他們夜里去伏牛山下?tīng)颗!?/p>
夜里,天上沒(méi)有月亮,也沒(méi)有星星,山前山后漆黑一片,看不到一點(diǎn)亮光,姐姐拉著(zhù)妹妹從山前轉到山后,聽(tīng)了聽(tīng),一點(diǎn)動(dòng)靜也沒(méi)有,姐姐對妹妹說(shuō):“不要放棄,我們再等等。”就這樣等到了五更,忽然聽(tīng)見(jiàn)山里面“嘩啦啦”作響,山北坡放出一道耀眼的金光,姐妹倆急忙朝發(fā)光的地方跑去,只見(jiàn)那洞眼只有手指頭那么粗,順著(zhù)洞眼往里看,見(jiàn)到內有一張金方桌,方桌上整齊地擺著(zhù)一排排饅頭大小的金牛。
妹妹忙把銀喇叭拿出來(lái)插進(jìn)山眼,姐姐忙念:“伏牛山,嘩嘩啦,開(kāi)山要我這銀喇叭。”念了三遍,山眼慢慢變大了,但只容一個(gè)人鉆進(jìn)去,姐姐閃身就進(jìn)去了,妹妹也跟著(zhù)進(jìn)去了。
姐姐一進(jìn)去就吹起了銀喇叭,頓時(shí)桌上的金牛都變活了,它們伸伸腿,抖抖毛,跳下桌子來(lái),就都變成了大牛,它們順著(zhù)山眼往外沖,當最后一頭牛剛剛伸出頭時(shí),東方已經(jīng)微微泛紅了,山眼慢慢變小了,這一下要急壞了姐妹倆,。
Since the Lancaster family and York Royal war of the roses ( 1455-1485 ), rose to become the symbol of England, England unified throughout the UK, United Kingdom, rose gradually became the British National flower. The wars of the roses, at that time on behalf of Lancaster Royal is a red rose, white rose on behalf of York Royal is.

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"好孩子小米莉特向媽媽要兩分錢(qián)。
“昨天給你的錢(qián)干什么了?”“我給了一個(gè)可憐的老太婆,”他回答說(shuō)。 “你真是個(gè)好孩子,”媽媽驕傲地說(shuō)。
“再給你兩分錢(qián)。可你為什么對那位老太太那么感興趣呢?”“她是個(gè)賣(mài)花的。”
“額。
我只是想買(mǎi)它給你在你的生日。”
“你真是個(gè)好女孩。”如果他們英語(yǔ)水平高的,你可以把《杰克與豆蔓》改編一下,最后改成不是拿金蛋,而是花送給媽媽。

她有個(gè)潔癖,就是喜歡白色系的東西,從身上的衣著(zhù)至居家的一切家具,都是使用白色的。她是以為虔誠的信徒,經(jīng)常祈求神,祈求將來(lái)能嫁給一位與她同樣清純的夫婿。
