4．There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace （和平）．Many artists tried．The king looked at all the pictures．But there were only two he really liked，and he had to choose between them．One picture was of a calm lake．The lake was like a perfect mirror．There were many peaceful high mountains around it．A blue sky with soft white clouds was above the mountains．All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace．
The other picture had mountains，too．But these were rugged （崎岖的） and bare （光秃的）．There was an angry sky above the mountains．It was raining heavily and it was lightning （闪电）．A waterfall fell down the side of the mountain．This did not look peaceful at all．
