Long long ago, there was a blacksmith(铁匠). He was always unhappy with his life. “My work is too hot. I want to be a stone(石头) on the mountain. There it must be cool.” A wise man(智者) answered, “Go, be a stone.” So he became a stone. A moment later, a stone-cutter came and began to cut it.

The stone cried out, “This hurts(疼)! I want to be the sun. That would be great.”

The wise man said, “Be the sun.” And he became the sun. But the sun was much hotter than the blacksmith and the stone, so he said, “I would like to be the moon.”

The wise man said again, “Be the moon.” And he became the moon. “This is hotter than being the sun,” he said. “I want to be a blacksmith again. That is the best life.”

But the wise man said, “I am tired of your changing. You will be the moon forever(永远).”
