    One day, a tiger saw a frog(青蛙)． He had never seen a frog before． He said,“I want to eat you． But first tell me who you are．”
    The frog said,“I'm the king(国王)of the frogs! I can do all kinds of wonderful things．”
“Really?" said the tiger．"Can you show me what you can do?”
“All right. Let's jump across the river. I can jump longer than you."answered the frog．
    They came to the river, The tiger jumped across it．He was surprised to see the frog was in front of him．
   “I'm waiting for you, Mr Tiger．”said the frog, laughing．
    While the tiger was ready for his jump．the frog held(拉)the tiger's tail(尾巴)and got some tiger's hair in his mouth．But the tiger didn't know．
    “Why do you have some tiger's hair in your mouth?" asked the tiger．
   “Oh". said the frog,“Yesterday I killed(杀)a tiger and ate him．”
    After hearing that, the tiger ran away quickly．

    One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had ran away. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
    Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.
After seeing what happened, everyone was silent and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
    One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard." The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!"
    A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it meaningful.
    A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
    At that moment, one Chinese asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"
    Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and didn't say any words. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shyness, and did not dare to answer.
    In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. During the visit, the conversation soon turned into complaints about 1 in work and life. Offering his 2 coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 3 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain(陶瓷), plastic, glass, crystal(水晶), some beautiful, some expensive, some 4 — telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When each of the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you have 5 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been 6 , leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is 7 for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is the 8 of your problems and stress."

"It is clear that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases 9 hides what we drink."

"10 all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, 11 most of you just went for the best cups. And then you looked to see what cups others picked."

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 14 to enjoy the coffee. Value the coffee, not the cups! Don't let the cups 15 you. Enjoy the coffee instead.
