To share is simply to let
someone else have or use a part of something that belongs to you. It doesn't
mean we're losing anything—because what's actually happening is that we're
giving ourselves more of a chance to be sincere(真诚的), which in turn makes us feel better. Sharing also means that you
are not alone because others have the similar experience with you. Here is a
story about learning to share.
Once upon a time, there
was a beautiful flower with beautiful colors: red, orange and yellow. The
flower was very happy because everyone who saw it said it was beautiful. As
time went by, she thought she was the most beautiful among all flowers. And she
was very proud of her colors, but she didn't want others to enjoy them. She was
worried that others would imitate her. In that case, she would not be
the most beautiful in this area. So she only came out at night.
One day, it began to rain
during sunrise and didn't stop until nightfall(黄昏). When the flower woke up in the evening, she opened her petals(花瓣) and realized that she had lost all colors. Now she was all white
like the snow. What had happened? The flower was so sad that she couldn't stop
crying.
Suddenly, a fairy(仙子)wearing a dress with a colorful magic stick appeared in front of
her. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?" she asked.
"I've lost my lovely
colors. The rain in the day has washed them away completely," the flower
cried.
"Don't worry. I can
give them back to you, but under one condition…"
"Which one?" the
flower asked.
"I want you to ▲ . I don't want to see that you just come out at night. You should share
it with others."
Now everyone who passed
by the flower would stop." This is the most beautiful flower I've
seen!" many of them said. The flower was really happy because she
understood that sharing good things with others was so wonderful.
