On a rainy night, a boy was walking along the street. He felt lonely, because people wouldn’t see him as their friend. When he came over, other people seemed to be afraid of him and ran away. Nobody talked with him. He just wanted to cry when he met a girl. The girl didn’t run away, but said, “Hi. You look like one of my old friends. What’s your name, please?”
“Really? I’m Sadness,” answered the boy.
“Oh, I know you. You visit me sometimes.”
“Aren’t you afraid of me?”
“But why?”
“Because I’m Sadness. In fact, nobody likes me. I only want to give them some help. I can help people face themselves properly. I often build a place for each of them to care for their wounds. Sometimes those wounds can help people do better next time. However, it seems that they don’t need me.”
While Sadness was saying these words, he became even sadder. The girl gave him a hug and said, “From now on, you won’t feel lonely any more. I’ll be with you!”
“But who are you?” asked Sadness.
“Me? I’m Hope,” said the girl with a smile.

They decided to take a rest under the tree. They slept there for a short time. When they woke up, they felt hungry and the first traveler climbed up the tree. But he was sad to see nothing. He started to say bad words to the tree. “Oh, this is just a useless (没用动) tree without any fruit on it!” The other traveler said nothing about the tree, but asked his friend to be quiet. However, the traveler in the tree still shouted(喊) at the tree.
The tree couldn’t stand the traveler at last. He said in a sad and strong voice, “You can’t be so ungrateful (忘恩负义的) to me, Just look back to the time when you got here in the hot sun! I gave you a cool and comfortable place to rest in. You would die now without me!”

A tortoise (乌龟) was resting under a tree. When he looked up, he saw a bird sitting in his home in the tree. The tortoise spoke to the bird, “What a broken home you have! It’s made of old tiny sticks. It has no roof (屋顶) and looks ugly. What’s worse, you had to build it little by little on your own. Look at my house. It’s my shell (壳), which I was born with on my back. I think my house is much better than your poor home.”
“Yes, my house is made of tiny sticks, looks broken and is open to the wind and rain. It’s ugly, but I built it myself, and I like it,” the bird replied.
“I guess it’s just like any other house, but not better than mine,” said the tortoise. “You must be jealous (嫉妒的) of my shell, though.”
“Not really,” the bird answered. “My house has space for my family and friends, but your shell cannot hold anyone other than you. Maybe you have a better house, but I have a better home,” the bird said happily. After all, a home is more meaningful than a house.
