Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the walls open. Japanese houses have empty spaces between the wooden walls. As he was tearing them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴) there because a nail(钉子) from the outside had been into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt for it, and at the same time wanted to know more about it.
He knew very well that the had been knocked into the wall ten years before when the house was first . What had happened since then? The lizard had for ten years! To be trapped in a dark wall for ten years without ---it hardly seems possible, and is hard to . Then he wondered how the lizard could have lived for ten years without moving a single step since its was nailed! So he stopped his work and began to the lizard. He wanted to know what it had been doing, and it had survived.
A short time later another lizard with food in its mouth. He was shocked, and at the same time deeply . Another lizard had been the trapped one for the past ten years.
“What love exists(存在) in this animal! What can love do? It can do ! Just think, one lizard has been taking care of for ten long years, without hope that its partner would be saved,” the man said to himself.
If a small animal like a lizard can like this , just imagine how we could if we tried.
