5.There was once a group of monks(和尚) who went to Australia to spread Buddhism.Everything had to be started from the beginning.After buying a plot of land,they bought bricks,construction materials and with their own hands,they started to build a temple.
A young monk took charge of building the brick wall.He took great care in laying the bricks,ensuring that they were leveled.His progress was slow,due to the great care in his work,but he wasn't bothered,.Finally,when he completed the wall,something caught his eye and made him angry.Despite the great care he took in his work,he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted(倾斜).Because of that,whenever visitors came to the temple,the young monk would show them around to all places,except the brick wall that he had built.
One day,two elderly monks came to the temple.No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall,the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall.Unwillingly,the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.
"Oh,this is such a beautiful brick wall,"one of the elderly monks said."Sir,are you sure?Haven't you seen the two ugly bricks that are slanted in the middle of the wall?"the young monk asked in surprise."Yes,I have."replied the elderly monk."But I also saw the remaining 98good bricks that made this a beautiful wall!"
You see,most of the time,we focus on things that went wrong or didn't live to our expectations.However,we've forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98bricks.
