英文寓言故事：共賞
One day, a group of friends were walking through a beautiful forest. As they walked, they came across a magnificent tree with golden apples hanging from its branches. The friends were all eager to taste one of the apples, but they knew that only one person could reach it.
After some discussion, they decided to use a lottery system to determine who would be the lucky winner. Each person drew a number from a hat and the lucky winner would be the person with the lowest number.
As they waited for the lottery to be drawn, the friends gathered around the tree and admired its beauty. Suddenly, they heard a rustling in the branches above their heads. When they looked up, they saw a golden-bodied fairy appear. She was intrigued by their plan to share the apple, and she appeared to them with a message.
"You all seem like good friends," she said. "But sometimes, when you share something so valuable, it can cause jealousy and discord. Instead of competing for this apple, why not share it together? It will bring you closer together and strengthen your bonds."
The friends were all amazed by the fairy's advice and immediately changed their plan. They gathered around the tree and shared the apple among themselves, passing it from hand to hand. As they did so, they realized that their friendships had been strengthened and that sharing truly was the key to happiness.
The moral of this story is that when you share something valuable, it can bring you closer together and strengthen your relationships with others. In this way, you can overcome jealousy and discord and create lasting bonds that will last a lifetime.
