家园 你有他们孝敬父母吗(作者：牧羊女 朗诵：绿野仙踪)（完成） 音频链接
这是牧羊女写的一篇原创随笔
今天早晨，我送两个维吾尔族学生去长途车站，他们的爸爸在车站那头等他们。这是兄弟俩，相差两岁，哥哥内向腼腆，弟弟活泼开朗，都有极强的自理能力，上个学期末，他俩曾做过让我吃惊的事情----才上小学一年级的兄弟俩，在全校收集同学们用过的作业本，拿到学校对面的废品收购站，换了5元钱。他们的爸爸也是盲 人，一家人靠政府每月150元的救济金和卖蔬菜赚来的一点钱度日。每学期开学，看到爸爸送这两个孩子来学校，我心里都很难受。爸爸几乎把口袋里所有的钱，包括一元一元的零钱都掏出来，可还是不够，这时候，爸爸总会用极为蹩脚的汉语可怜巴巴地说：“老师，我回去嘛，再想办法，钱再寄来。娃娃嘛，一定要上学。” 虽然他回去后通常就没有下文了，但我又怎么忍心让这两个孩子失学呢，总是自己帮他们垫上。今天早晨，我去学校接他们时，弟弟亚森手上拎着一个大塑料袋，我问，这么大的袋子里装着什么呀？他们犹豫了一下，低着头说：“两本语文书和字板字笔，还有…… 一点生活用品。”在长途车站候车室等车时，我又看到了这只袋子。让我没有料想到的是，袋子里除了书以外，还有一只塑料袋装着昨天学校发给孩子们的月饼、旺旺雪饼和一些小零食。对于孩子们来说，这些东西是很难吃到的，许多孩子昨晚就已经把它吃得精光了，可这兄弟俩……哥哥木沙以为他们做错事了，我会批评他们，就赶紧低下头解释说：“爸爸妈妈没有吃过，我们想他们也吃。”那一刻，我被深深地感动，我为自己能有这么优秀的学生而高兴，为自己所有的付出感到值得。我搂着兄弟俩，安慰他们： “你们做得对，我们有好吃的的时候，不能忘记了爸爸妈妈。”

家园 狮子莱恩（一）（作者：绿野仙踪）（待读） A door was opened in the dark. Something round and red flew in with a beam of light.
“Wow, a juicy steak!” Ryan stretched out his hands. His mouth was watering.
“Pa!” The steak landed on Ryan’s face.
Ryan took a bite and thought, “This steak is too tough.”
“Hey, buddy! Why are you eating paper? This is a letter! ” Rabbit Cindy jumped in from outside the window and rescued the letter out of Ryan’s mouth.
Ryan woke up with empty stomach and sniffed. There was no smell of steak only the light scent of rosin.
“Dearest Cindy, thank you for waking me up from my steak dream,” said Ryan getting up from his bed. “I’m so starving though. I could eat a whole rabbit. Sorry, I mean, a whole French cow.”
Cindy glanced at Ryan and passed him the letter. Ryan’s eyes sparkled as he was reading the letter.
“It’s from Molly! She has moved to a small island and is inviting me to visit her!” said Ryan as he threw the letter and spun around the room in delight. “You remember Molly, don’t you? We all competed in the race. The tortoise beat you and Molly the squirrel beat me.”
“Yeah, the slow tortoise won because I fell asleep. But you…did you fall in love with the little squirrel?”
“Well, I have to admit.” Ryan shrugged. “I followed Molly because I admired her long furry tail. Lions do not have such beautiful tails, you know.”
“Neither do rabbits.” Cindy added.
“It doesn’t matter. You must come with me anyway.” said Ryan, “Let’s pack our things and leave first thing in the morning.”
“Wait a minute,” Cindy said as picked up the letter and read it carefully, “It sounds as though the island is far away from here and there is a big river in between.”
“Are you a sea lion?” asked Cindy.
“Nope.”
“Then I think we will need a boat and two life jackets.” Cindy told Ryan.

家园 石头汤的故事（供稿: Franca 翻译:绿野仙踪) (待读) 感谢我同事Franca提供此文，她如是说：
It was one of my favourites growing up probably because our class made stone soup for lunch one day to share with all the students. It was very memorable and a good lesson to learn. I think it would be a fun activity for the blind children.The Story of Stone Soup
Once upon a time, there was a great famine and people took whatever food they could find and hide it even from their friends and neighbours.
One day a wandering soldier came into a village and began asking questions as if he planned to stay for the night.
"There's not a bite to eat in the whole village," he was told. "Better keep moving on."
"Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to share with all of you." He pulled an iron cauldron from his wagon, filled it with water, and built a fire under it. Then, he took an ordinary-looking stone from a velvet bag and dropped it into the water.
By now, hearing the rumour of food, most of the villagers came to see. The soldier sniffed the "broth" and licked his lips "Ahh," the soldier said to himself rather loudly, "I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cabbage – would be better."
Soon a villager approached holding a cabbage he'd retrieved from its hiding place, and added it to the pot. "Excellent!" cried the soldier. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and potatoes and it was fit for a king." Another villager went to her hiding spot and returned with potatoes.
"And I have some carrots, which will add color!" said another villager. Others brought onions and mushrooms until there was indeed a delicious meal for all.
The villagers offered the soldier a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to sell it and traveled on the next day. The moral of the story is that by working together, with everyone contributing what they can, a greater good is achieved.
石头汤的故事
从前闹饥荒，人们把所觅之食私下里藏起来，甚至不让朋友和邻居知道。
有一天，一个四处游荡的士兵来到一个村庄询问，看来是准备在村子里留宿。
“整个村子并无一物可食，”人们告诉他，“你最好往别处去。”
“哦，我一无所缺。”士兵说，“实际上，我想做些石头汤与大家分享。”他从马车上拿出一口大铁锅，装满水，在锅下生火。然后，他从丝绒袋子里取出一块看来很普通的石头丢进锅里。
至此，多数村民听到有食物的传闻都跑来观看。士兵一边用鼻子嗅一边舔着嘴唇大声说：“啊，我真是喜欢美味的石头汤。当然，若是汤里有卷心菜会更好些。”
不久一个村民便拿了私藏的卷心菜出来放到汤里去。“太好了！”士兵大喊，“我曾经喝过加了卷心菜和土豆的石头汤，简直可以给国王享用呢。” 于是另一个村民回去拿了私藏的土豆来。
“我有一些胡萝卜，可为此汤增色。”又一个村民说。其他村民也纷纷拿来洋葱和蘑菇，结果大家美美地吃了一顿。
村民们想用重金购买那块神奇的石头，可是士兵拒绝了，第二天他便启程继续前行。这个故事告诉我们，大家各尽所能，团结合作，就会有更大的成就。

家园 白雪公主和七个小矮人（改编：绿野仙踪）（待读） Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Once upon a time, there was a little princess. She was named “Snow White” because her skin was as white as snow. Her mother died when she was very young.
The lonely king married again. The new queen was beautiful but very jealous of the lovely princess. And as the years passed, Snow White grew even prettier.
The queen had a magical mirror. Everyday, she looked into the mirror and asked: “Magic mirror, who is the prettiest one of all?” The mirror always replied that the queen was prettiest of them all. She was very happy and proud.
But finally came a day when the mirror replied: “ Snow White is the prettiest one in the world.” The queen’s face turned pale with anger.
“Take the princess into the forest and kill her!” The queen ordered her huntsman.
The kind huntsman had to obey. He took Snow White to the forest but couldn’t kill the innocent princess. He told Snow White about the queen’s plan and asked her to run away.
Snow White walked alone in the forest with fright. The woodland animals led the way for her to safety. Before dark, she saw a tiny cottage.
“I have a place to sleep tonight.” She thought to herself as she peeked inside the tiny cottage.
There seemed to be no one at home. Snow white saw a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and everything was covered with dust. There were seven tiny chairs, which indicated that seven little children must live in the cottage.
Snow White entered the cottage with the animals and they cleaned the cottage together.
Upstairs Snow White found seven little beds in a row. She was so tired and fell asleep on the bed.
Meanwhile, seven little men came back. They were surprised to find the whole place clean and tidy.
“Listen! Somebody’s snoring!” said one of the dwarfs.On timid tiptoe, they all went upstairs and saw the sleeping Snow White.
“Why, it’s a girl!” the dwarfs cried.
Snow White woke up. She smiled at the dwarfs and greeted them. That evening the seven dwarfs had the tastiest dinner. They were very content to have Snow White live with them.
Back at the castle, the Queen asked the mirror: “Magic mirror, now who is the prettiest one of all?”
“In the cottage with seven dwarfs, Snow White is the prettiest of all.” The mirror replied.
The queen realized that Snow White was still alive. She decided to go to the cottage herself to kill Snow White. First, the Queen made some poisoned apples. Then she disguised herself as an ugly peddler woman. With only one bite of the apple, Snow White would die.
The next morning, the queen found the cottage and hid in the trees until the dwarfs left for work. When Snow White saw an old peddler standing outside of her window with a basket of apples, she opened the door.
“Sweet apples for a sweet girl. Would you like to try one?” asked the wicked queen in disguise.
“Of course. Thank you.” Snow White took the poisoned apple and bit into it. Instantly she fell down on the ground.
Some birds and animals saw this. They went into the woods and found the seven dwarfs. The dwarfs realized that Snow White must be in danger. They rushed home franticly.
But it was too late. They came just in time to see the queen slipping away. They chased her until she plunged off a cliff and died.
The seven dwarfs were heartbroken. They built Snow White a bed of glass and watched over her night and day.
One day, a prince from a nearby kingdom rode through the forest and saw the sleeping Snow White. He fell in love with her at first sight. He knelt down and kissed her.
Suddenly Snow White woke up! The spell was broken at the touch of her true love!
Snow White thanked the seven dwarfs for all they had done for her and kissed them goodbye. Together, Snow White and the prince rode back to his castle and lived happily ever after.
白雪公主和七个小矮人
从前有个小公主，她的皮肤象雪一样白，人们都称她为“白雪公主”。白雪公主很小的时候，妈妈就死了。
孤独的国王又娶了个妻子，新的王后很漂亮，可是非常嫉妒美丽的公主。时间一年年地过去，白雪公主越长越美丽。
王后有一个魔镜，她每天都会一边照镜子一边问：“魔镜，谁是世上最美丽的人？”魔镜总是回答说，王后是最美丽的，她听了既高兴又骄傲。
可是终于有一天，魔镜说：“白雪公主是世上最美丽的人。”王后听了气得脸色发白。
“快给我把白雪公主带到森林里杀死！”王后命令她的猎人。
善良的猎人不得不从命。他把白雪公主带到森林里去，却怎么也不忍心杀死纯洁无辜的公主。他把王后的阴谋告诉了公主，并且叫她赶紧逃跑。
白雪公主独自一人走在森林里，心里很害怕。森林里的动物们为她带路，把她带到了安全的地方。天黑以前，她看到了一个小小的木屋。
“我今晚儿有地方睡觉啦。”白雪公主一边想一边拿眼睛往小木屋里瞄。
木屋里似乎没有人。白雪公主看到洗碗盆里堆着脏兮兮的碟子，所有的东西都蒙着灰尘。屋里有七张小椅子，看来一定是住着七个小孩子。
白雪公主和她的动物朋友们一起走进小木屋，开始打扫卫生。
在楼上，白雪公主看到七张小床排成一排，她累得倒在床上睡着了。
就在这时候，七个长得很矮小的男人回来了。他们看到屋子里干净又整洁，都很惊讶。
“你们听，有人在打呼噜！”其中一个小矮人说。他们蹑手蹑脚地走到楼上，看到了睡梦中的白雪公主。
“呀，是个女孩儿！”小矮人叫了起来。
白雪公主醒了，她笑嘻嘻地跟小矮人们打招呼。那天晚上，七个小矮人尝到了有生以来最美味的晚餐。他们很乐意与白雪公主住在一起。
话说回来，那天在城堡里，王后又问魔镜：“现在谁是世上最美丽的人？”
“在森林的小木屋里，和七个小矮人住在一起的白雪公主是世上最美丽的。”魔镜回答道。
王后意识到白雪公主还活着，于是决定亲自到小木屋里杀死她。她先是做了几个毒苹果，然后乔装打扮成一个丑陋的卖苹果的老妇人。白雪公主只要吃一口毒苹果，就会立刻死掉。
第二天早上，王后找到了小木屋，她一直躲在树林里，直到小矮人们出门做工了才敢出来。白雪公主看到一个老妇人拎着一篮子苹果站在窗前，就把门打开了。
“甜甜的苹果是专给甜美的姑娘吃的，尝一个吧？” 狠毒的王后说。
”好啊，谢谢你。”白雪公主接过毒苹果一口咬下去，立刻晕倒在地上。
一些鸟儿和动物们看到了这个情景，于是跑到林子里找到七个小矮人。小矮人们意识到白雪公主有危险，就疯狂地赶回家去。
可惜太晚了。等他们回到家的时候，看到王后正打算逃跑。他们不停地追赶，追得王后无处可逃，最后掉到悬崖下面摔死了。
七个小矮人伤心欲绝，他们为白雪公主做了一个玻璃床，日夜守护着她。
有一天，邻国的王子骑马经过森林，看到了睡在玻璃床里的白雪公主。王子对公主一见钟情，于是跪下来亲吻她。
忽然，白雪公主醒了！她的真爱献上的亲吻，解除了王后的咒语。
白雪公主感谢七个小矮人为她所做的一切，并依依不舍地向他们道别。然后公主和王子一起骑马回到他的城堡，从此幸福地生活在一起。

家园 Youth(作者: Samuel Ullman 朗诵:绿野仙踪) 音频链接
附原文：
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

家园 龟兔赛跑（改编: 绿野仙踪 & Franca) (待读) One day，all the forest animals were gathered together to watch a big race. Tired of Speedy Hare’s constant bragging, Poky Tortoise had challenged Speedy Hare to a race. Most of the animals didn’t think that Poky Tortoise would stand a chance to win against Speedy Hare.
Poky Tortoise and Speedy Hare were crouching at the starting line when they heard the starter’s gun. In a few seconds, Speedy Hare was already out of sight. Meanwhile, Poky Tortoise plodded down the track at his regular slow pace. He was far behind Speedy Hare but moving forward steadily.
After running for a little while, Poky Tortoise was nowhere insight so Speedy Hare decided he would take a nap. He found a big tree at the roadside and lay down under the tree.
“What a nice day it is! I like the warm breeze and this is a perfect place for a nap.” said Speedy. Soon he was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Poky Tortoise, at his slow and steady pace, inched closer and closer to the finish line. In fact, Speedy Hare was still snoring when the loud cheers from the forest animals woke him up.
“Where am I?” he said to himself. Speedy Hare could’t believe his eyes! From over the hill, he could see Poky Tortoise was on the home stretch!
Speedy Hare jumped up. As fast as a streak of lightning he hopped towards the finish line but it was too late. Poky Tortoise had just crossed over the finish line. The slow old Tortoise had beaten the cocky speedy Hare!
有一天，森林里的动物们都跑来了，准备参观一场大赛事。因为兔子SPEEDY经常在乌龟POKY面前吹牛，说自己跑得多快，乌龟听得烦死了，于是向兔子提出挑战，要跟他赛跑。大伙儿都觉得乌龟根本就没有机会跑赢兔子。
乌龟POKY和兔子SPEEDY蹲在起跑线上，忽然听到比赛的枪声响了。一会儿的功夫，兔子就跑得不见影儿了，乌龟呢？他正在跑道上慢慢地往前挪呢，虽然已经落后了很多，可是乌龟仍然迈着平稳的脚步继续前进着。
跑了一会儿，兔子SPEEDY看不见乌龟了，于是决定睡一小觉。他发现路边有棵树，就躺在树下了。
“今天的天气多好啊！温暖的微风吹着真舒服，在这棵树底下睡觉是再好不过的了。”SPEEDY说。很快他就完全睡着了。
这个时候，乌龟POKY正慢慢地，一步一步地往前走，离终点线越来越近，可是兔子还在树底下打呼噜呢，直到观众们的欢呼声把他吵醒了。
“我在哪儿呀？”兔子自言自语地问。当他看到小山的那边，乌龟已经快要达到终点的时候，他简直不能相信自己的眼睛。
兔子SPEEDY跳了起来，闪电般地朝着终点冲去，可是已经太迟，乌龟POKY抢先冲线了。又老又慢的乌龟，终于跑赢了骄傲的飞毛腿兔子！
