23、A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 【1】 . The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and fell down. Soon he died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die. 【2】 .

When he got out, the other frogs said: “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. 【3】 .

The story teaches us two lessons. 【4】 . An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive (消极的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.

Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving gifts instead of notes. Everyone was getting cool presents except me. I received nothing but cards with nice words about me.

On the last morning, I finally got a package (包裹). When I opened it, the girls around all laughed. It was perfumed powder (香粉), an “old lady” gift. My face went red.

I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when the girls mentioned it again in the bathroom, I joined in, “How stupid! My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed and left the bathroom. Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers as I thought about my words. I regretted saying them to fit in with the girls.

“I’m your secret friend.” It was Rachel. “I’m sorry about the gift,” she said to me in a low voice.

From a poor family she was often laughed at by those with rich parents. Yet she just bore everything silently.

I was sick to my stomach as my hurtful words ran through my mind. She had heard everything. How could I have been so cruel?

Later I learned that she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum had given up her only luxury (奢侈品).

I told her that I had only said those things to try to fit in.

“We aren’t that different from each other, are we?” She smiled understandingly. Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine.
