was once a young man who began to feel self-satisfied after some small
achievements.
One
day, the young man took a walk with a 1 man from the town. On the way the young man
was bragging(吹嘘) about himself, 2 the wise man didn't say a word. When they3 a peak(山峰), the wise
man asked, "Look
down. What do you see?"
"I
see trees, houses and people as 4 as ants working in the fields,"
the young man said.
"What
do you feel?" the
wise man asked.
"Everything
is 5 me. I feel I rule the world,"
the young man answered.
The
wise man said nothing. After
a minute, he asked the young man to look 6 "What
do you see this time?" the
wise man asked.
"I
see 7flying around high
mountains, the white clouds on the mountains and the blue sky
above the white clouds," the
young man answered.
Then
he asked the wise man's 8.
"I
feel small and powerless,"
the wise man answered. "A
person who knows to look upward can 9 understand his position(位置). When a person knows the blue sky is always overhead, he won't be
so luck as to believe he rules the
world."
The
young man felt foolish for his pride. From then on, he looked up at the sky and
remembered 10 small he really was.
