这个美丽的故事流传在美洲印第安土著中已近200年了,一朵荒漠中的小花,不是为了自己的艳丽,而执着于点缀这个世界的一角……

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking It was growing by itself enjoying every day and saying to the sun "When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient - Each time I touch you, you grow a little" She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.

  遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有朵小花,她独自生长在那里,享受着每一天……她问太阳公公“我什么时候才能长大?”太阳公公总是说“要有耐心-- 我每次抚摸你,你都会长大一点……”小花好开心啊,因为她也有机会为沙漠的一隅增添美丽了……这是她毕生的心愿-- 为这个世界增添一丝美丽。

One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.

  一天,一位猎人经过--正好踩在她身上──  她快要死了-- 她感到如此悲伤。并不是因为她即将死去,而是因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。

The great spirit saw her, and was listening. - Indeed, he said She should be living And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life.

  伟大的精神看到了她,并且听到了她的心里话。……事实上,他在说……她应该活着……他俯下身,抚摸着她-- 给了她生命。

And she grew up to be a beautiful flower and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.

  她长成一朵美丽的花……由于她的存在,这沙漠的一隅变得如此美丽。
