Once there was a valley, which abounded with colorful stones. After hearing that, two people carried bamboo baskets and made an appointment to pick up these beautiful stones. In the early morning, they set off and tramped over hill and dale continuously. At noon, they reached the valley and saw so many beautiful stones. How time flies, the sun nearly set, so they had to turn back together. What is different, one person’s basket was full of colorful stones; the other’s had only stone. The former one asked, “Why do you pick up only one among so many stones?” But the latter one smiled with no word. Because the mountain road was far and hard, the former one was so tired that he was panting, sweating and breathless, and he had to stop to throw away several colorful stones again and continued his way. On the contrary, the latter one made his feet light. When the moon was hanging high in the sky, they arrived at home eventually. Although he was too tired to straight his back, he felt balanced upon seeing several stones in his basket. Afterwards, they went back home separately. Unconsciously, decades pasted. The former one became grey-haired and was riddled with illness. One day, when he was taking a walk on the street, he met the latter one, who took his wife leisurely. Although he is also old, he looked more energetic and younger than him. After greeting with each other, the former one asked, “How can you live better than me?” The other said kindly, “do you still remember our going to the valley in those days?” “Of course, I do.” He answered. “The colorful stones are just temptations. If you carry many of them on your back in your lifetime, you will be much tired.” The latter one told him. At that moment, he suddenly saw the light and his face was bathed in tears. After reading this story, I stop to reflect on the beauty and complexity of life. Yes, there are so many temptations in our hearts, such as wealth, fames, status, and beauty and so on. If we run after them as many as possible, our life will be in a mess. Instead, we should choose things modestly and keep positive attitude towards our life.
