【推荐1】It was my first day at school. I felt nervous. I went to all my classes with no friends. I felt like no one cared about me.

I listened carefully to all the lessons and waited for lunch time at one o’clock. Finally, the bell rang. It was time to talk and have fun. In the lunch line, I met a new friend from Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯), and though I am Jewish (犹太人), we got along well. I was so happy when she said, “Sit with us at our table.” She pointed to the one next to the door.

So I agreed. I took my dish and was going to walk with her across the floor, when someone suddenly stopped me. “Hey, I saw you on the bus,” said a tall girl in a long skirt. “I see your Jewish star necklace (项链). You should sit with us.”

At that moment, I looked around. The Spanish only sat with other Spanish, the Russians always with Russians and never the Arabs with Jews.

I knew why the war (战争) started. Everyone sticks to (坚持) his or her own kind. The lunchroom was like a map of the world. Why was everyone so blind?

I didn’t go with this tall girl, but went with the first, and she was friendly to me. I built a bridge between two worlds when I sat with those different from me.

The next day, a few children came to the store and praised the glorious water tank as usual, but when they were detailed, they found that the luxurious water tank was empty and the other   was filled with colorful tropical fish.

Ten years later, the owner of the hotel was about to move. When he cleaned the room, he found the empty water tank. Its entire body was full of "wrinkles(皱纹)." It was much inferior(逊色 ) to the other one. He said earnestly to it, "You are a water tank, but your stomach is empty without even a drop of water. It is flashy, how can you compare with others? So, you must be full, no matter how you live or study. "" I don't believe it ... "The gorgeous water tank died without repentance, because there was no real thing in the belly, the whole body broke in the last moan ...

Although the gorgeous water tank is broken, its "soul" is still there. It is looking for a person with an empty mind to be its substitute. Maybe, the next one is you ...
