21、On a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old river behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his shoes and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile (鳄鱼) was swimming toward him. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became frightened and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile bit his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war between the two. The crocodile was much stronger that the mother, but the mother was much too eager (急切的) to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, ran from his truck, and shot (射击) the crocodile.

After several weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were badly scarred (留下疤痕) by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches (抓伤) where his mother’s fingernails dug deep into his skin in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

A newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, proudly, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.”

23、In Jewish (犹太人) history, King Solomon is considered to be the wisest man who ever lived. There are many stories about the wisdom of King Solomon. Here’s one of them.

One day two women came before the King. They carried with them a little baby, which was set down on the floor, at the foot of Solomon’s throne(宝座) .

One of the women said “Five days ago I gave birth to a child. This woman and I live in the same house, and three days later she also gave birth, but that same night her child died, and at midnight she arose and, while I was sleeping, took my son away from me, and laid her dead child in its place. When I awoke in the morning I thought at first that my son was dead, until I realized that it was not my child.”

“No,” interrupted the second woman, “she is lying, my lord, she is lying! The living child is mine and the dead is hers!” “No,” cried the first women, wildly. “No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine.”

King Solomon raised his hand for silence. “One of you says ‘my child lives and yours is dead, and the other says ‘your child is dead and my child lives’. There is a simple way to resolve the matter, bring me a sword.”

A sword was brought, and the crowd waited to see what the King would do. “Very well,” he said, “cut the child in half, and give them each half.” The first woman turned pale. She said in a trembling voice. “Give her the child. I beg you, do not kill it.” But the other woman’s face remained hard. “Let it be neither mine nor yours,” she said, “divide it as the King has ordered.” Then Solomon arose, and pointed to the first woman, “The child belongs to her,” he said, “Give her the child, and do not kill it. She is its mother, “Word of this judgment spread throughout Israel, and people marveled (感到惊讶) at the wisdom of the King.

The lesson of this story is rather simple. It is easy to tell the people who really care: they are willing to give up their half in order to keep the whole alive. In short, sometimes insisting on getting your fair share is still a losing strategy.
