The Trouble Tree

麻煩樹

把煩惱留在樹上吧，讓它隨風漸行漸遠，我們又會有新的一天。

——By Mary

My friend John has some trouble at work. I go to his home with him. He is sad on the way home. As he walks to the door， he stops at a small stree. He touches the tree with his hands. After he comes into the door， he becomes very happy.

I am so surprised and ask him why. He says，“The small tree outside is my trouble tree. I have trouble at work， but they don’t belong(應在某處)in the house with my family. So I just hang them on the tree before I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. I find a funny thing. The troubles on the tree always seem fewer the next day.”

Where Is Happiness?

幸福在哪里?

幸福就像小豬的尾巴。小豬追著自己的尾巴原地跑，卻怎么都追不到;可是只要小豬昂起頭向前走，幸福就會緊隨著它。

A piggy asks her mother， “Where is happiness?”

Her mother says，“It’s just on your tail.”

The piggy tries to catch her tail， but she fails every time.

She asks her mother， “Why can’t I catch that?”

“You can’t catch that when you stay around. Move forword. Happiness will always follow you， dear，”her mother smiles and says.

The Cry of a Tree

樹在說……

快來聽，一棵樹正在和人類說話:我們給你們帶來美麗與安寧，請不要隨意砍伐我們，保護我們，就是保護你們自己。

I am your friend. I can help in many ways.

With trees you can have green belts. Green belts help to bring you a better enviroument.

With green belts， you can reduce(減少) air pollution(污染)， noise pollution and soil erosion(腐蝕).

Our green shade(陰涼處) gives beauty and peace.

So， please don’t cut us down. Don’t use us as fire-wood. Learn to recycle(回收利用). Save us， and we will save you!
