24、A hunter once lost his way deep inside the forest chasing a deer. As hard as he tried, he could not find a way out of the forest, nor could he find any food to eat. He started feeling so hungry that he could eat an elephant in one go. Disappointed, he lost all his hope. And that was exactly when an apple tree caught his sight. He collected some apples to feed him for the rest of his search. As he ate the first apple, he felt thankful for finding the tree. He thanked the jungle. He could not believe his luck when he ate the first apple, but he was less thankful while eating the second apple and even less thankful after eating the fifth apple. Somehow, with each passing apple, his hunger refused to go away and he became less happy. He couldn’t enjoy his tenth apple at all.
Why? He had already taken for granted the gift of having found an apple tree in the middle of a forest. When he took the tenth apple in his hand, he was still very hungry, but he just did not feel like eating any more.

26、 The most beautiful heart in the world. A large crowd got together, and they all thought his heart was perfect. Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why? Your heart is not as beautiful as mine.” The old man’s heart was full of scars(伤疤).

In fact, there were still some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.

The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man. The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound(伤口)in the young man’s heart. It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
