  • they disappeared into the moonlit night
  • From that day on
  • the elves never returned
  • but the shop stayed full of warmth

• January 18, 2026The Nightingale and The rose ｜夜鸯与玫瑰

  原著作者｜Oscar Wilde

  • In a garden so green
  • lived a Young Student
  • He was sad
  • because he had no red rose
  • "No red rose," he sighed.
  • "So I can't dance
  • with the one I love."
  • A little Nightingale
  • sat in an oak tree
  • She heard the student cry
  • and her heart felt heavy
  • "He needs a red rose!
  • True love is so important,"
  • she sang.
  • The Nightingale flew
  • to a White Rosebush
  • "Give me a red rose," she asked,
  • "for the Young Student."
  • The Rosebush whispered,
  • "My roses are white,
  • white as the snow."
  • "Go to the other side—
  • maybe they have one."
  • The Nightingale flew
  • to the next bush
  • "Give me a red rose," she sang,
  • her voice soft and sweet.
  • That Rosebush sighed,
  • "My roses are yellow,
  • like the sun."
  • "To make a red rose,
  • you must sing to me
  • all night long."
  • "And your heart's blood
  • must stain my thorns."
  • The Nightingale paused.
  • "Heart's blood?
  • That is a high price."
  • But she looked at the Student
  • still crying under the window.
  • "Love is more precious
  • than life itself," she decided.
  • So, that night
  • the Nightingale pressed her breast
  • against a sharp thorn.
  • She sang a beautiful song
  • of true, perfect love.
  • The thorn slowly—
  • slowly went into her heart.
  • And the White Rose
  • began to change its color.
  • Red, red, red it grew,
  • with the Nightingale's song and blood.
  • When the sun came up,
  • the Rose was a deep, rich crimson.
  • It was the most beautiful rose
  • in the whole wide world.
  • But the Nightingale
  • lay still beneath the bush.
  • Her song was over.
  • The Student woke up
  • and saw the magnificent rose.
  • "Oh, what a miracle!" he cried.
  • "It is the perfect rose of love!"
  • He ran to the Princess's house
  • and gave her the gift.
  • "Will you dance with me now?"
  • he asked.
  • "Here is the reddest rose."
  • The Princess looked at the rose.
  • Then she laughed.
  • "A nice rose, but it isn't worth
  • my new diamonds," she said.
  • "My uncle sent me real jewels.
  • Everyone knows jewels are much better
  • than flowers."
  • The Student’s face went cold.
  • He threw the rose into the street.
  • A cart wheel rolled over it.
  • "What a silly thing is Love!" he muttered.
  • "It isn't as useful as Logic or Books."
  • He walked away
  • back to his quiet room
  • and his heavy books.
  • He never knew
  • the price of the rose.
  • He never knew
  • the Nightingale’s song.

  • like a tiny hello.
  • 
    
  • From that day on
  • a small statue stood by the station gate.
  • 
    
  • People would stop and whisper
  • “He waited with all his heart.”

• January 17, 2026The Fox and the Grapes｜狐狸与葡萄

  出自｜伊索寓言

  • Once upon a time there was a clever little fox
  • His name was Felix and his belly was very hungry
  • He walked through the forest under the hot summer sun
  • Oh I wish I had something sweet to eat he said
  • Suddenly he stopped and looked up high
  • On a tall wooden fence he saw something wonderful
  • A big bunch of juicy purple grapes
  • They looked so sweet so round and so delicious
  • Yum Felix licked his lips and smiled
  • Those grapes are exactly what I need
  • He stood on his tiptoes and reached up high
  • But the grapes were just a little bit too high
  • Felix took a few steps back and took a deep breath
  • One two three and JUMP
  • He missed them by just one inch
  • No problem I can jump higher than that
  • He tried again with a much bigger leap
  • He stretched his paws as far as he could
  • But once more he landed back on the grass
  • The sun was getting hotter and Felix was getting tired
  • He tried jumping from the left and then from the right
  • He tried running fast and bouncing like a ball
  • But the purple grapes stayed right where they were
  • They seemed to be laughing at the hungry little fox
  • Felix sat down and wiped the sweat from his face
  • His legs were heavy and his heart was a little sad
  • He looked at the grapes one last time
  • They are so beautiful he whispered to himself
  • Then he stood up and turned his nose away
  • He put on a proud face and walked away slowly
  • I didn't really want those grapes anyway
  • I am sure they are very very sour
  • They are probably not even good for me
  • He kept walking without looking back once
  • Poor Felix he was still very hungry
  • But he felt better telling himself a little lie
  • And that is the story of the sour grapes
  • Remember it is easy to hate what you cannot have
