一个仙人在山里走,看见一棵老树,驱干高大,枝叶茂盛。旁边一个伐木工人,把斧头靠着树根,却并不砍它。仙人问:“这棵树总有几百岁了吧?为什么不砍它?”
“没有什么用!既不能造屋,又不能造船。”伐木工人回答。
“这棵树因为质地差,不中用,所以能享长寿。”仙人感慨地说,“可叹世人,勤勤恳恳,忙忙碌碌,耗尽精力,丧尽天年,真是可怜,可笑!还不及这棵树浑浑噩噩,得享长寿哩!”
“好仙人,这样的长寿,我并不愿意哩!”老树回答说,“我的同伴一棵棵被人砍去,有的`做了栋梁,巍巍大屋,住着人。有的做了桥梁,横跨江河,渡着人。有的做了车轮,千里万里地奔跑着。
它们带给人们的安宁、方便、美丽、快乐,却是无穷无尽的。
象我这样,即使活上一万年,到头来,还是要的。但,临的时候,如果自己回想:一生中白白享受了阳光的照射,雨露的滋润,却对这世界,竟没有一丝一毫的用处,真要羞愧得难以形容哩!”
仙人对于老树的这番议论,目瞪IZl呆,想不出半句答辩的话。
老树又对伐木工人说:“大哥,行行好,把我砍下来当柴烧也可以。当人们烧着木柴的时候,那辉煌的光……那炽烈的热……在光和热里我会含着笑去……”
“你当作柴烧,倒是好的。”伐木人举起了斧头。
仙人呢,含羞带愧地走了。他觉悟到自己也不过是一个长生不老却没有发出一丝光、热来的废物罢了。
Today we visited a farm. Early in the morning, we met at the school gate and went there together The farm workers gave us a warm welcome. Then the head of the farm showed us around.
How glad we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well. At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a ten minutes break, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes(笑话 or stories. Two of us even played a game of chess. The time passed quickly. Before we knew it,we had to say goodbye to the workers.

过了一个月,国王养好伤,打算像以前一样找智慧大臣一块儿微服私巡,可是想到是自己亲口把他关入监狱里,一时也放不下面子释放智慧大臣,叹了口气,就自己独自出游了。
走着走着,来到一处偏远的山林,忽然从山上冲下一队脸上涂着红黄油彩的蛮人,三两下就把他五花大绑,带回高山上。国王这时才想到今天正是满月,这一带有一支原始部落,每逢月圆之日就会下山寻找祭祀满月女神的牺牲品。他哀叹一声,这下子真的是没救了。其实心里却很想跟蛮人说:“我乃这里的国王,放了我,我就赏赐你们金山银海!”可是嘴巴被破布塞住,连话都说不出口。
当他看见自己被带到一口比人还高的大锅炉,柴火正熊熊燃烧,更是脸色惨白。大祭司现身,当众脱国王的衣服,露出他细皮嫩肉的龙体,大祭司啧啧称奇,想不到现在还能找到这么完美无瑕的祭品!
原来,今天要祭祀的满月女神,正是“完美”的象征,所以,祭祀的牲品丑一点、黑一点、矮一点都没有关系,就是不能残缺。就在这时,大祭司终于发现国王的左手小指头少了小半截,他忍不住咬牙切齿咒骂了半天,忍痛下令说:“把这个废物赶走,另外再找一个!”
脱困的国王大喜若狂,飞奔回宫,立刻叫人释放智慧大臣,在御花园设宴,为自己保住一命、也为智慧大臣重获自由而庆祝。
国王一边向智慧大臣敬酒说:“你说的真是一点也不错,果然,一切都是最好的安排!如果不是被花豹咬一口,今天连命都没了。”
智慧大臣笑着对国王说:“恭喜大王对人生的体验有了新的境界。”过了一会儿,国王忽然问智慧大臣说:“我侥幸逃回一命,固然是‘一切都是最好的安排’,可是你无缘无故在监狱里蹲了一个月,难道这也是最好的安排?”
智慧大臣慢条斯理喝下一口酒,才说:“大王啊!您将我关在牢中,确实也是最好的安排啊!陛下不妨想想,今天我若不是在牢中,陪陛下出猎的大臣会是谁呢?等到蛮人发现国王不适合拿来祭祀满月女神时,谁会被丢进大锅炉中烹煮呢?不是我还有谁呢?所以,我要为大王将我关进监狱而向您敬酒,您也救了我一命啊!”
有段犹太俗谚是这样的:如果断了一条腿,你就该感谢上帝不曾折断你两条腿;如果断了两条腿,你就该感谢上帝不曾折断你的脖子;如果断了脖子,那也就没什么好担忧的了。犹太人认为,拥有积极思想的人,对任何事都抱着乐观的态度,即使遇上挫折,积极者也会认为那是成功前的必经考验。所以,他们凡事都永远想好的一面。他们用这样一则幽默来劝说人们接受与加深这种思想。

厨房里有一个长颈瓶,瓶里装满了香油。有一只乖巧的老鼠把瓶塞咬得粉碎,然后把长长的尾巴伸进瓶里,再把沾满了油的尾巴拖出来,卷到嘴边。津津有味地吃个饱。“多好的尾巴啊!有了你,我才吃上了这样香的油。”它就夸奖起尾巴来。
日子久了,从厨房到鼠洞就印下了一条油迹。
猫发现了鼠洞,就日夜守在鼠洞旁边。做坏事的家伙,胆子总是越来越大。一天,老鼠拖着沾满了油的尾巴,想拖回洞去,给自己的小老鼠也饱吃一顿。
刚要进洞,猫猛扑上去。老鼠赶快逃进洞里,但是,那尾巴沾的油太重了,一时缩不进去,猫一爪子抓住了它的尾巴,连它整个身子都给拖了出来。当它快要被猫咬的时候,老鼠就咒骂起自己的尾巴来:“你,多坏的尾巴啊!没有你,我决不会送命。”
猫说:“当它对你有利的时候,你就夸奖它;当它对你有害的时候,你就咒骂它。你根本不想想:偷油是种坏事。你的命就送在偷油上!”
