One morning, the stepmother said to the three girls: I will take you to grandma's house to play today.The three girls were very happy, so the stepmother and father helped them to the donkey and set off.When they came to a valley, Dad said to the three girls, "Stop here for a while, we're going to make things easier." So he helped the three girls off the donkey, threw them into the valley, and they sneaked away.The three girls waited for a long time, but their parents did not come back.Finally, one of the girls understood, so she told the other two: "They must think we are a burden and don't want us. Now we can only find our way back."

So the three girls walked forward supporting each other. After walking for a long time, they were tired and thirsty. At this moment, they heard the sound of water flowing in front of them, so they followed the sound and came to a cave. There was a small river, and they took a few sips of the sweet river water, and then washed their faces by the way.Suddenly, they exclaimed in surprise: "I saw it, I saw it!"It turned out that the water had miraculous effects and cured their eye diseases.Looking around, they suddenly found that the cave was full of rare treasures, so they happily wrapped a large bag with their clothes.Out of the cave, they walked back along the original road.As they walked, they suddenly found that their father was leading the donkey towards them, and the stepmother was chasing after them.It turned out that Dad regretted it after throwing them into the valley, "How could the three blind girls survive? Didn't this kill them?" So he came back to look for his daughter.

The three girls were very happy to see their father came to see them, and hurriedly showed their treasures in their clothes.The stepmother was ashamed when she saw that the three girls could see and brought back so many treasures.She hurried forward to help the three girls onto the donkey's back, and the family went home happily.

peace, health, happiness

Once upon a time there was a king who had four wives.The king loved his fourth wife the most, dressed her in the best clothes, and fed her the most delicious food.

The king also loved his third wife very much, and often took her to visit neighboring countries.

The king also loved his second wife, who was his confidant.Whenever the king encountered any troubles, he always went to her to discuss and tide over the difficulties with her help.

The king's first wife was loyal to him and made a lot of efforts to help the king keep his wealth, but the king didn't cherish this wife.Although she loved the king deeply, the king was indifferent.

Finally, the king was seriously ill, and his time was short.He thought to himself: "I have four wives, but when I die, can only one go?" So he asked the fourth wife: "I love you the most, can you go to the grave with me?" Don't think about it!" The wife left without saying a word, and left without looking back.

The sad king then asked the third wife, "I have loved you all my life, are you ready to go with me?" "No!" replied the wife, "I will remarry when you die."

Then he asked his second wife, "You can always help me. Now, can you come with me?"

Her answer was: "I can't help you this time, the most I can do is bury you."

At this time, a voice came: "I will accompany you, I will accompany you wherever you go."

The king looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be his first wife.Looking at the scrawny wife, the king said with tears in his eyes, "I should have treated you better."

In fact, everyone has four wives in their lifetime.The fourth wife is our body.No matter how much time and energy is spent on maintenance while alive, once we leave this world, our body will also leave us.

The third wife is wealth, power and status.When we die, these things will fall into the hands of others.

The second wife is our family and friends.No matter how much help they are willing to give us, at most they can only accompany us to the door of the tomb.

The first wife is the heart.In life, people are always chasing wealth, power and pleasure, but neglecting the soul.However, only the soul will accompany us to the ends of the earth.

Engineers and Logicians
There is an engineer and a logician in the United States, and they are friends who talk about everything.Once, the two met to visit the famous pyramids in Egypt.After arriving in Egypt, one day, after the logician checked into a hotel, he still wrote his travel diary as usual.The engineer was wandering alone in the street, when suddenly an old woman's cry came from his ear: "Sell cats, sell cats!"

The engineer saw a black toy cat with a price tag of $500 beside the old woman.The woman explained that the toy cat was an family heirloom and had to be sold as a last resort because her grandson was seriously ill in exchange for hospital treatment.The engineer raised the cat with his hand, and found that the cat was very heavy, and it seemed to be made of black iron.The cat's eyes, however, were made of pearls.

So the engineer said to the old woman, "I'll give you $300 to buy just two cat's eyes!"

The old woman did the calculations and agreed.The engineer happily returned to the hotel and said to the logician: "I only spent $300 to buy two huge pearls!"

The logician looked at the two big pearls, which were worth thousands of dollars at least, and asked his friend what was going on.When the engineer finished explaining the reason, the logician hurriedly asked: "Is the woman still there?"

The engineer replied, "She's still sitting there. Want to sell that black iron cat with no eyes!"

After hearing this, the logician hurried to the street, gave the old woman 200 dollars, and bought the cat back.

When the engineer saw it, he laughed and said, "You, spend $200 to buy an eyeball-less iron anchor!"

But the logician sat down quietly to play with the iron cat. Suddenly, he had an idea and scraped the foot of the iron cat with a knife. When the black paint fell off, a golden trace was revealed. He was very happy. cried out, "As I thought, the cat is pure gold!"

It turned out that the owner who cast this golden cat was afraid that the golden body would be exposed, so he painted the cat's body with black paint on his own initiative, just like an iron cat.In this regard, the engineer regrets it very much.At this time, the logician turned around and laughed at him and said: "Although you are very knowledgeable, you just lack the art of thinking, and your analysis and judgment are not comprehensive and in-depth. You should think about it carefully. Since the cat's eyeballs are If the cat is made of pearls, will the whole body of the cat be made of cheap black iron?"

They have unique "scheming", often originality, ingenuity, and another way, so as to achieve original success.

"Swimming Back" Roosevelt

Roosevelt, the only outstanding leader in the history of the United States who was elected president for four consecutive terms, his boyhood home was located on the banks of the Hudson River in Hyde Park, a suburb of New York City.There are fields, forests, hills, rivers... a paradise for children.Roosevelt often played in the fields and forests with his friends, rowed, swam, and fished in the river in summer, and took an ice boat in the river in winter. He especially liked swimming.

Roosevelt entered Groton School at the age of 14.This school attaches great importance to sports, and the key to evaluating a person is sports ability rather than academic performance.He is good at tennis and golf, but people don't think highly of him, because American football, baseball, rowing and other sports are popular, and he is too thin, which he deeply regrets.

When Roosevelt was at Groton School, in order to adapt to the new environment here and prove his love for the school, he often took part in swimming in spring and summer, as well as rowing, softball, football, hockey, golf, and skiing and sledding in winter.

In September 1900, Roosevelt entered the famous Harvard University in the United States.He wanted to do a lot of work, but he couldn't get ahead; so he became the editor and editor-in-chief of the "School Banner" and devoted his energy to social aspects, but he did not forget swimming.

In the summer of 1921, at the age of 39, Roosevelt suffered from polio while on vacation at Campobello.

The disease paralyzed Roosevelt. While he was treating, he strengthened physical exercise, and the effect of the treatment was obvious.Restore the function of his muscles through physical exercise.Roosevelt said very confidently: "I don't believe that this child's disease can defeat me as a man. I want to overcome it..." When his condition improved a little, he moved his hands and feet on the hospital bed, wrestled with his son, and played games.Every day, he performs various strength exercises with the help of machines hanging beside the hospital bed to practice muscle activity.Then get out of bed and practice walking with a cane, adding a few steps every day. In 1922, when he went back to work at the trust company on Broadway, he lost control of his crutches and fell to the ground. He got up and continued to move forward. This kind of perseverance won the admiration of the people around him.

A doctor named Lovett suggested: use swimming to cure his disease.Roosevelt decided to try according to the doctor's advice.When he first entered the water, his limbs felt comfortable and he was very excited, so he had swimming therapy every day.Later, a colleague referred him to a spa near Atlanta for treatment.When he came here, he could stand in the water and walk slowly without crutches. In the summer of 1925, he dropped his crutches and began to walk slowly.Newspapers and periodicals at that time used the conspicuous headline "Swimming back to health" to report his deeds of overcoming the disease.

Swimming cured Roosevelt's disease. He deeply felt the benefits of swimming. He wanted more patients to come here for treatment, so he bought the hot spring, built a new swimming pool, improved the treatment conditions, and built dormitories and restaurants to provide convenience. , accepting patients from all over the country to come here for treatment, he also acts as a "doctor", show his own experience, guide patients in treatment and physical exercise, and has won praise from patients and the society.

After Roosevelt became president, he continued to swim, played golf in the hot summer, and was able to move for 45 minutes a day; he also liked to jump over rows of chairs.Sports made him still plump and handsome, and his appearance remained the same as before.Walter Kemp, the famous coach of Yale University, said that Roosevelt was "well-built and muscular like an athlete."Obviously, this is inseparable from Mr. President's love of swimming.
