| [00:00.00]The Fables of Enlightenment 攻玉之石 [00:07.50]What a fable recounts is small, [00:09.44]but what it tells is big. [00:11.53]It offers little talks, but also enlightens the mind, [00:16.35]enriches the soul, [00:17.99]and even guides you along the correct way of life. [00:21.93]The Boy and the Tree 男孩和树 [00:29.90]A long time ago, [00:33.31]there was a huge tree. [00:35.48]A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. [00:39.31]He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. [00:43.26]Time went by…The little boy had grown up [00:46.86]and he no longer played around the tree. [00:48.84]One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. [00:53.54]“Come and play with me,” [00:56.04]The tree said. [00:57.25]“I don’t have time to play. [00:59.53]I have to work for my family. [01:01.85]We need a house for a shelter. [01:03.93]Can you help me?” [01:05.33]“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. [01:08.85]But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” [01:12.24]So the boy cut all the branches of the tree [01:15.42]and left happily. [01:16.39]The tree was glad to see him happy [01:19.35]but the boy didn’t appear since then. [01:21.75]The tree was lonely and sad. [01:24.16]One hot summer day, [01:25.90]the boy returned and the tree was delighted. [01:28.64]“Come and play with me!” [01:30.81]the tree said. [01:32.03]“I am sad and getting old. [01:35.21]I want to go sailing to relax myself. [01:38.16]Can you give me a boat?” [01:39.58]“Use my trunk to build the boat. [01:42.75]You can sail and be happy.” [01:44.62]So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. [01:48.33]He went sailing and did not show up for a long time. [01:52.26]Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. [01:56.85]“Sorry, my boy, but I don’t have anything for you anymore. [02:01.00]The only thing left is my dying roots.” [02:04.08]The tree said with tears. [02:06.60]“I don’t need much now, [02:08.78]just a place to rest. [02:10.43]I am tired after all these years.” [02:13.26]The boy replied. [02:14.58]“Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. [02:19.83]Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” [02:23.32]The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears… [02:28.68]This is a story of everyone. [02:32.18]The tree is our parent. [02:34.59]When we were young, [02:36.13]we loved to play with Mom and Dad… [02:38.31]When we grow up, we leave them, [02:40.94]and only come to them when we need something [02:43.51]or when we are in trouble. [02:44.76]No matter what, [02:46.96]parents will always be there [02:48.36]and give everything they could to make you happy. [02:50.78]You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree [02:53.91]but that’s how all of us are treating our parents. |
