The Woods and the Fire

One cold winter's morning a few small flames were still leaping from the ashes under the tree. As time passed the light of the small fire grew fainter and she had no fuel and was almost extinguished.

The little flame saw his life will pass away so in a hurry to wit and the saplings around the negotiation said: "poor saplings ah! You see in such a cold winter you are losing all your leaves. Lost the protection of leaves I see you are shivering with cold I can't bear to look down your situation is really too miserable ah! Why I venture to ask is fate so cruel to you?"

"In winter I am buried deep in snow and my leaves cannot grow." "The tree answered.

"So it is a trifle " said the flame. "It is nothing. It is all trifle. Let's just be friends! I can give you warmth and strength. I can make you feel as warm in winter as in spring. You can go to the greenhouse to see those plants growing in the greenhouse even outside the wind under the snow they are the same buds the same flowers the same warmth in the house. No matter how bad the weather is outside it doesn't affect them at all. It's all thanks to us!"

The flame continued: "I know it's always bad to show off and I hate boastful people myself but I'm just being honest for now. The sun is not necessarily how great ah! Look at the proud rays of the sun as if he could shine all over the earth; but look my friend how small and dim those rays are when they shine upon our poor hill-side. Look at me again old man and as soon as you come near me you will see that the snow melts all around you. If you want to live in spring forever if you want green leaves all year round then you must make room for me my friend!"

With the fire's words the tree quickly agreed to its proposal.

The little flame got fuel and grew hot and hot and it climbed up the branches and trunks of trees and spread all over the grove. Then a thick cloud of black smoke swirled into the sky and the fire grew bigger and bigger. In a few moments the fire had closed in on the whole grove. What had once been thick branches were now only strips of blackened stakes -- this is the inevitable fate of trees when they become friends with fire.

You should be careful in making friends.

小树林和火

一个寒冬的早晨，树下的一团灰烬还没有完全熄灭，有几簇小小的火苗还在跳跃着。随着时间一点一点地过去，小火苗的光亮越来越弱了，她没有了燃料，几乎就要灭掉了。

小火苗眼看着自己的生命就要逝去，于是急中生智 就和身边的小树谈判说：“可怜的小树啊！你看，在这样寒冷的冬季里，你的叶子都掉光了。失去了叶子的保护，我看见你被冻得瑟瑟发抖，我都不忍心看下去了，你的处境实在是太悲惨了啊！我冒昧地问一句，为什么命运之神对你是如此的残酷呢？”

“冬天嘛，我被深深地埋在了雪里，我的叶子没有办法生长啊！” 小树回答说。

“原来是这点小事儿啊，” 火苗说道，“这些不算什么，都是小事儿。我们就做个朋友吧！我可以给予你温暖和力量，我能让你在严寒的冬天里过得如在春天般温暖。你可以到温室里看看，那些生长在温室里的花花草草，外面即使刮着狂风，下着暴雪，它们一样地抽芽，一样地开花，屋子里一样的温暖。外面的天气再恶劣，对它们来说，没有一点影响啊！这都得益于我们的功劳啊！"

火苗接着说：“我知道，自我炫耀总是不好的，况且我自己也讨厌自吹自擂的人，但是我目前只是实话实说罢了。太阳也未必见得有多么伟大啊！你看太阳那骄傲的光芒，就好像自己能够普照大地似的，可是你看看啊，朋友，当阳光照到我们这可怜的山坡上的时候，它的那些光亮是多么的渺小，多么暗淡啊。你再来看看我吧，老兄，你一靠近我，你就会发现，你周围的雪马上就融化了。如果你想永远生活在春天里，如果你想一年四季都有翠绿的枝叶，那么你必须要为我留下一席之地啊，朋友！ ”

在火苗的三言两语之下，小树很快就同意了它的提议。

那小火苗得到了燃料，变得旺盛起来火热越来越大，它顺势爬上了树枝、树干，向整个小树林甲葛延着。接着，一股浓重的黑烟盘旋着冲上天空火越烧越大了。只一会儿的工夫，大火就把整个小树林团团围住了。以前浓密的树枝，在只剩下一段段焦黑的木桩了一树木和火一旦成了好朋友，这就是树木的必然下场。

交朋友需要谨慎，近朱者赤，近墨者黑。
