A woman made bread for members of her family and an extra(额外的) one for a hungry passer-by every day. She kept the extra bread on the windowsill(窗台),for whomever would take it away easily.
Everyday,a hunchback(驼背的人) came and took away the bread. Instead of saying thanks,he repeated the following words as he went his way,“The evil(邪恶) you do remains with you. The good you do,comes back to you!”This went on,day after day.
One day,the woman felt angry.“Not a word of thanks,”she said to herself. She decided to kill him. She added poison(毒药) to the bread she prepared for him. As she was about to place it on the windowsill her hands shook.“What is this I am doing?”Immediately,she threw the bread into the fire and prepared another one. As usual,the hunchback came,picked up the bread and repeated those words.
As the woman placed the bread on the windowsill,she prayed(祈祷) for her son who had gone to a faraway place to make money as usual.
That evening,there was a knock on the door. As she opened it,she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. His clothes were in pieces. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother,he said,“Mom,it's a miracle(奇迹) I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so hungry that I fell down. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole bread. He said,“If Your need is greater than mine!”
As the mother heard those words,her face turned pale and red. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made that morning. If she had not burnt it in the fire,it would have been eaten by her own son,and he would have lost his life!
It was then that she realized the importance of the words:“The evil you do remains with you. The good you do,comes back to you!”Do good and don’t ever stop doing good,even if it is not thanked at that time.

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son.He had never seen such beautiful falcons before.He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months,the king came to see how the training was going on.He found that one falcon had already be enable to fly high in the sky,while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly,just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.But none of them succeeded.One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest,an idea came to his mind.Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem.He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning,the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely.“It is unbelievable!”shouted the king,“How could you make it happen?”The farmer replied, “It's very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings.We all have“two flying wings”in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort .We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the“branch”we are resting on breaks.
