A blind（盲人） boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up(举起) a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins (硬币） in the hat. A man walked by. He put a few coins into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words. Soon the hat started to fill up（装满）. That afternoon the man who had changed（改变） the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized（认出）his footsteps（脚步）and asked: "Were you the one who changed(改变) my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said: "I only wrote the truth.（真相） I said what you said but in a different way." His words were "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign said the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign only told people to put some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they could enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it, because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded（提醒）people they were lucky that they were not blind. There are at least(至少) two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have.

Once a tiger was in a cage(笼). Soon a good man went by. As soon as the tiger saw the man, the tiger began to cry. “Please! Please!” the tiger called. “Please, let me out.” “No,” said the good man. “If I do, you will eat me.” “I will not eat you,” the tiger said. “Please let me out.”
The good man believed the tiger. He opened the door of the cage. The tiger jumped out. “How silly you are,” the tiger laughed. “Now I am going to eat you.” “Wait!” the man cried. “You ought not to eat me. Let us ask others what they think.” “You may ask three others. ” the tiger said.
The good man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade (树荫). And yet I am cut down. Let the tiger eat you.”
Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kill me. Let the tiger eat you.”
The last one that the good man asked was a road. The road said, “I don’t care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well without me. Yet all day and all night people step on me without even a ‘thank you’.”
The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. “What is happening?”
asked the dog. The man told the dog the whole story.

“Oh,” the dog said. “He is going to eat you because you do not have a cage.”
“Silly dog!” the tiger cried. “Don’t you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.”
“Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.”
“I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “In this way!” with that, he jumped back into the cage.
