[A]Once upon a time there was a good old woman who lived in a little house.She had in her garden a bed of beautiful trumpet lilies.
One night she was wakened by the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing.She looked out at the window.The sounds seemed to come from the lily bed，but she could see nothing.
The next morning she walked among her flowers，but there were no signs of any one having been there the night before.
On the following night she was again wakened by sweet singing and babies laughing.She walked softly to her garden.The moon was shining brightly on the lily bed，and the flowers were swaying to and fro.The old woman looked closely and she saw，standing by each lily，a little Fairy mother who was singing and rocking the flower like a cradle，while in each lily trumpet lay a little Fairy baby laughing and playing.
The good old woman went quietly back to her house.[A]And from that time on she never picked a lily，nor did she allow her neighbors to touch the flowers.
[C]The lilies grew brighter in color and larger in size，and they gave out a delicious perfume like that of roses.They began，too，to bIoom all the year round.
The day came when the good old woman died，and the lily-bed was torn up，other plants were planted there，but they all withered，and from that time on nothing would grow there.
But the good old woman's grave grew beautiful，for the Fairies sang above it，and kept it green；while on the grave and all around it there sprang up lilies，tulips，violets，and other lovely flowers of spring.

一只被困冰中的黑额黑雁，一群路过的陌生天鹅，本不是同类，本没有人类所具有的思想，却将互帮互助演绎得让人动容。如果把这些看成是一种天性，那么人类的这种天性本应更加完善。当看到黑额黑雁再次飞起，回到天空中，我们是否也愿成为飞翔的天鹅？

好英文娓娓动听 Words and Expressions
This is a true story.It was on a winter morning，near Oxford，Maryland，that a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window，which overlooked the Tred Avon River.Across the river，beyond the dock，the snow laced the rim of the shore in white.[A]For a moment she stood quietly，looking at what the night's storm had painted.
Suddenly she leaned forward and peered close to the frosted window."It really is true，"she cried out loud."There is a goose out there."She saw a large Canadian goose，very still，its wings folded tight to its sides，its feet frozen to the ice.
Then from the dark skies，she saw a line of swans.They moved in their own singular formation，graceful，intrepid and free.Suddenly they floated from the top of the sky downward and at last surrounded the frozen goose.[B]Seeing this，my friend feared what life it still had might be pecked out by those great swan bills.
Instead，amazingly，those bills began to work on the ice.At last，the goose was rimmed by a narrow margin of ice instead of the entire creek.The swans rose again，hovered in a circle，awaiting the results of their Iabors.
The goose's head lifted.Its body pulled.Then the goose was free and standing on the ice.But it seemed not be able to fly.Later，four of the swans came down around it.[C]Their powerful beaks scraped the goose's wings from top to bottom and rode up its body，chipping off the ice held in the feathers.
The goose spread its wings as far as they would go.When at last the wings reached their fullest，the four swans took off and joined the hovering group.They resumed flying in perfect formation，to their secret destination.
Behind them，rising with incredible speed and joy，the goose moved into the sky.It followed them，fIapping double time，until it caught up，until it joined the last end of the eIegant line.
My friend was deeply moved with tears running down her cheeks.Even birds give a hand to those in trouble.I just often think of this story in the bad moments and tell myself，"If so for birds，why not for man？"
