Question

A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert, ”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微風) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That's because a breeze can fly, but I can't.”

“That's because you can't give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸發(fā)) into the breeze, and it can take you across，” said the desert.

“Give up what I am now? No! No！” The little stream could not accept this idea.

“The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸氣) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again，” said the desert.“And whether you're a river or vapor, your nature(本性) never changes.”

Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage(階段) of her life.
