One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it
36 several obstacles in its path. And after a brief pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道).
37 one point, the ant had to cross a crack(裂缝) about 10mm wide. After some
38 thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked
39 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was
40 by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in
41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.
42 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures
43 on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant
44 reached its destination — a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its
45 home. It was there that the ant met its
46 . How could that large feather possibly
47 such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this
48 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the
49 and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through
50 it began its journey and in the end the feather was
51 more than a burden. Isn’t our
52 like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the
53 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens — the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to
54 that at the destination they are
55 and we can’t take them with us.
