哲理雙語故事：荊棘鳥的精神
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine.

For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain….
有一個傳說，說的是有那么一只鳥兒，它一生只唱一次，那歌聲比世上所有一切生靈的歌聲都更加優美動聽。從離開巢窩的那一刻起，它就在尋找著荊棘樹，直到如愿以償，才歇息下來。然后，它把自己的身體扎進最長，最尖的荊棘上，便在那荒蠻的枝條之間放開了歌喉。在奄奄一息的時刻，它超脫了自身的痛苦，而那歌聲竟然使云雀和夜鶯都黯然失色。這是一曲無比美好的歌，曲終而命竭。然而，整個世界都在靜靜地諦聽著，上帝也在蒼穹中微笑。因為最美好的東西只能用最深痛的巨創來換取……
