A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert,“I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.
At this time, a deep voice said,“if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered,“that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,”said the desert.
“Give up what I am now? No! No!”The little stream could not accept this idea.
“The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,”said the desert.“And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes.”
