Question

Long long ago, there was a blacksmith(铁匠). He was always unhappy with his life. “ I’m always hot as a blacksmith. I want to be a stone on the mountain. There it must be cool.” A wise man could change everything. The blacksmith went to the wise man. The wise man said, “Be a stone!” The blacksmith became a stone. A moment later, a stonemason(石匠) came and saw the stone. “It’s what I want,” he said and began to cut it. The stone cried, “Ouch! I don’t want to be a stone. 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, so he said, “ I don’t like this. I’d like to be the moon. It looks cool!” The wise man said again, “Be the moon!” And he became the moon. “This is hotter than being the sun, because the light from the sun shines（照射）on me” he said, “ I don’t want to be the moon. I want to be a blacksmith again. That’s the best life.”

But the wise man said, “ I’m tired of your changing. You want to be the moon, now you are the moon, and you’ll be the moon in the future.”
