【题目】Flow like the river of change

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,’’ she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river. It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, ‘‘Thats because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.

Thats because you cant give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, and it can take you across, said the desert. Give up what I am now? No! No! The little stream could not accept this idea. The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
