One rainy day, the two friends went to school as usual. They were chatting while walking. Perhaps they were discussing something important, but the two had different opinions, which led to a big argument. Things got so bad that Jay suddenly hit Victor. Then Victor looked at his friend and wrote in the sand, “ Today, my best friend hit me.” They both continued walking without saying anything . Later, they reached a river. Victor was not a good swimmer. By accident, he fell into the river and was going to be carried away by the water. Jay saw this and jumped into the river at once. With difficulty he pulled victor out of the river when Victor became safe, he wrote on a stone, “Today, my friend saved my life.”
Jay, who was watching all this, asked,“So way did you write it in the sand when I hit you, and why did you write on a stone when I saved your life?” Victor replied, “ we should soon forget the wrong done by our friends as words in sand get erased easily, but if they do something good for us, we should always remember their kindness, just as words in stones are kept forever.” Then the two friends walked on as if nothing had happened.

【推荐1】Rick was a young boy who was angry at everything around him. To calm Rick down, his mom came home with a canvas (画布) and paint.“Whenever you feel bad about something, paint it instead of getting angry.”
Though not that happy, Rick gave it a try. After creating many paintings, he took his artwork to his mom.
“Tell me, Rick. What are these paintings about?”
“The first is about how some kids show off their new clothes. The next is about my teacher who always tells me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is about how one of my schoolmates said I should change my attitude (态度). They all make me so angry.”
Rick’s mom took Rick by her side and told him, “Don’t you see, Rick? You’re getting so angry but you never try to understand why.” Then she explained carefully, “All the people you were angry at did nothing wrong. The kids were shoving off their good clothes but never laughed at you for being poor. Your teacher scolded you but that was because you caused trouble in class. And your schoolmate was only trying to help you correct your mistakes.”
“Next time you get angry, take a deep breath and walk away for a couple of seconds. And when you come back, talk to the person you’re angry at. You might calm down in this way.”

On the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and perch（鲈鱼）with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure（鱼饵）and practiced casting. The lure struck the water and caused colored ripples in the sunset, then silver ripples as the moon rose over the lake.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. Finally, he very gingerly lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a perch . The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish. Then the father lit a match(火柴) and looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.--- two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put it back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
"There will be other fish," said his father.
"Not as big as this one," cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could know everything by his father's clear voice that the decision could not be changed. He slowly worked the hook(钩) out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.
The creature swished its powerful body and disappeared. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. His father's cabin is still there on the island in the middle of the lake. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock.
He was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish---again and again---every time he comes up against a question of ethics（道德规范）.

【推荐2】The View Outside My Window
From the window of my room, I could see a tall hibiscus. In spring, when green leaves were half hidden by mist, the tree looked very pleasant dotted with red flowers. I gradually regarded it as my best friend.
However, when I opened the window one morning, to my surprise, there were almost no leaves or flowers left on the hibiscus（木槿） because of the strong wind the night before. I could not help feeling sad. I thought to myself that life never runs well, for there are so many ups and downs, twists （薄雾）and turns. Just at that time, some of my good friends moved to other cities. Isn’t it similar to the tree shedding（脱落） its flowers in the wind?
I nearly forgot this as time went by. One day after I came home from the countryside, I found the room stuffy, so I opened the window. Something outside caught my eye. A plum（李子） tree with all red flowers shone beautifully in the sunset. The surprising discovery filled me with pleasure. I wondered why I couldn’t feel the strong life over the fallen flowers when I was sorry for the hibiscus.
Standing by the window, lost in thought for a long time, I realized that nothing in the world is unchanged. As long as you keep enjoying the sun, each new morning will be beautiful and the world will always fill with new hopes.
