Fire and Diamonds
In the silence of a night, a small spark slowly became a raging flame that shot from all sides to the roof. In the great confusion of the people, a diamond fell into the dust on the ground and was not seen by anyone.
"Your faint light is too dim compared with mine," said the fire. "What a keen eye it would take to separate you from the glass and the drops of water, and you would need my light or the sun's to shine through the smoke. I do not need to tell you that the fact is such, even a rag, a piece of shingle can block your light, I am afraid even a hair can dim your light a lot. When I climb to the top of a building, it is not so easy to keep me down. Look, a horde of people surrounding me won't help me, and I'll burn whoever I touch."
"I am nothing compared to you," answered Kumgang. "But one thing is, I am harmless to everyone. Have you ever heard people scold me? But you are different. When you shine, you destroy. The more you burn, the more destructive you are." All the people came to put out the fire. In the morning the menacing flames were reduced to ashes at last. At this time, people found the diamond, it became a beautiful decoration, was embedded in the crown.
We should not be conceited and do harm to others. We must learn to accumulate, as long as you have talent, sooner or later will be found.
火与金刚钻
在一个寂静的夜晚，一粒小火星慢慢地变成了熊熊燃烧的火焰，从四周直扑向屋顶。在人们的极度慌乱之中，一颗金刚钻掉进了地上的灰尘里，没有被任何人发现。
“你微弱的光芒和我比起来，简直是太暗淡了，” 大火说， “得需要多么敏锐的眼睛才能把你和玻璃、水珠分开啊，你们需要借助我的光或者是太阳的光芒才能烟熠熠闪耀啊。不用我多说，事实就是这样的，就是一块破布、一片碎瓦都能遮挡住你的光芒，恐怕就连一根头发都能使你的光芒暗淡不少呢！当我爬上一幢楼的楼顶的时候，想把我*压打**下去，可就没那么容易了。你等着睢吧，哪怕是成群的人围住我，也无济于事的，无论我碰到谁，我都会毫不客气地将他烧焦。”
“跟你比起来，我实在算不上什么，” 金刚钻回答说，“但是有一点，无论对谁，我都是无害的，所以你听到过他人对我的责骂声吗？可是，你就不一样了，你一发光就意味着毁灭，你燃烧的力量越大，你的破坏力也就越大。” 所有的人都赶来救火了。气势汹汹的火焰在早晨终于化作了一团灰烬。这时，人们发现了金刚钻，它成了美丽的装饰品，被嵌在了皇冠上。
我们不能自骄自大，做危害他人的事情。我们要学会积累，只要你有才华，早晚都会被发现的。
