The Weed And The Flower
In a small section of the garden a tiny weed spoke to the blooms that grew there. ‘Why,’ he asked, ‘does the gardener seek to kill me? Do I not have a right to life? Are my leaves not green, as yours are? Is it too much to ask that I be allowed to grow and see the sun?’
The blooms pondered on this, and decided to ask the gardener to spare the weed. He did so. Day by day...

You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know...

月桂女神
The curse of Apollo, the god of the sun and music, was brought onto him when he insulted the young Eros (a.k.a. Cupid) for playing with bow and arrows.
Apollo was a great warrior and said to him, “What have you to do with warlike weapons, saucy boy? Leave them for hands worthy of them. Behold the conquest I have won by means of them over the vast serpent who stretched his poisonous body...

A不喜歡吃雞蛋，每次發了雞蛋都給B吃。剛開始B很感謝，久而久之便習慣了。
習慣 了，便理所當然了。於是，直到有一天，A將雞蛋給了C，B就不爽了。她忘記了這個 雞蛋本來就是A的，A想給誰都可以。為此，她們大吵一架，從此絕交。
有一年，很熱的夏天，一隊人出去漂流。 女孩的拖鞋在玩水的時候，把拖鞋掉下去了，沉底了。到岸邊的時候，全是曬的很 燙的鵝卵石，他們要走很長的一段路。
於是，女孩兒就向別人尋求幫忙，可是誰都 只有一雙拖鞋。女孩心裏很不爽，因為她習慣了向別人求助，而只要撒嬌就會得到 滿意地答覆。可是這次卻沒有。她忽然覺得這些人都不好，都見死不救。
後來，有一個男孩將自己的拖鞋給了她，然後自己赤腳在那曬得滾燙的鵝卵石上走 了很久的路。還自嘲說是鐵板燒。女孩表示感謝，男孩說，你要記住，沒有誰是必 須要幫你的。
