(原文)
the thirsty pigeon
a pigeon, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
zeal should not outrun discretion.
(翻译)
口渴的鸽子
一只鸽子,压迫过度口渴,看见一个招牌上画一个杯的水。不以为它只是一幅画,她飞向了一个响亮的呼呼声,无意中撞招牌,刺耳的可怕。吹坏了她的翅膀,她倒在地上,被一个旁观者。
热情不应该压倒谨慎。

everyone have some friends,me too.but,today,i want to introduce my best friends---andy and lily.
andy,a american.he is eight-year-old.as far as im concerned, hes very kind-hearted and generous. once i was in third grade, he treated me friendly and sincerely. when i was happy, he was also happy with me. when i was sad, he always comforted me. when i was defeated, he always encouraged me. when i stumbled, he always pulled me up. although we quarreled at times, we were still in good relationships. we could know each other better after the argument. when my birthday came, he always sent me a special present.
hes very hard-working and intelligent. he always studied hard at school. because of his hard work, he always did very well in exams. his oral english was better than mine. most of the time, he was willing to chat with me in english. owing to his help, i made a lot of progress in oral english.
do you know his hobby? let me tell you! his favourite sport is badminton. he enjoys doing housework and playing computer games. so her mother loves him very much. and all of his family love him, too.
lily,s a girl.and she is pretty.she is very good at english! and her english grades are very well!
i have known her since grade six. we are both interested in english. once both of us entered for an english contest. how eagerly i expected to get a prize! on hearing that i had failed in the contest, i could hardly hold back my tears. "what a pity!" i murmured to myself over and over again. i felt that the world had become cold and everyone seemed to be laughing at me.i love english and have gone all out to study it since my first day in the junior middle school. i have even dreamed of entering a foreign language institute. so i felt very sad.
just at this time, i received a short letter in english, saying, "failure is the mother of success. cheer up! dont lose confidence. keep on your study and you will succeed!" i knew it was from the good friend of mine.these words encouraged me greatly. i forgot all my sadness. from then on, i studied english even harder. in the next english contest, i got the first prize. of course, she was delighted with my success.
she always says, "a life without a friend is a life without sunshine。" my friend has done the same as he says.im happy to have such a friend.if she is in trouble, ill try my best to help her.
