十1、 Living like a Pig
One day, a guru knew what he would be in his next life. So he called his favorite disciple and asked him what he would do to show thanks. The disciple said he would do whatever his guru asked him to do.
After the guru received the promise, he said,Then this is what Id like you to do for me. Ive just learned that when I die very soon, Im going to be born as a pig. Do you see that pig eating rubbish over there in the yard ? Im going to be born as one of its baby pigs. Youll recognize me by a mark on? my face . When the baby pigs have been born, find the baby pig with a mark on its face and kill it with yourknife. Then Ill not live a pigs life. Will you do this for me?

像猪一样生活
有一天，一位印度教大师了解了他的来生是个什么样子，因此，他召来自己最喜欢的徒弟，并问他要干什么来表示感谢。徒弟说无论什么，只须大师需要，他都会去做。
收到这项承诺之后，大师说：我目前就对你说我期望你为我做的。我刚刚得知我就要去世了，我会出生成为一只猪。你看到正在院子里吃垃圾的那头猪了吧？我将会是它下一窝猪仔中的一只小猪。你会从我脸上的记号认出我来．当那些小猪出生将来，你去找脸上有记号的小猪，用你的刀把它杀死，如此我就不会过猪的生活。你会为我做吗？?
十1、 Living like a Pig
The disciple was sad to hear all this, but he agreed to do as he had promised.
Soon after this conversation, things happened just as the guru had mentioned. The guru died. Four baby pigs were born. One day, the disciple held his knife with him and picked out the baby pig with a mark on its face. Just as he was about to kill it, the little pig suddenly spoke,STOP! Dont kill me!it cried.
The disciple was very surprised, and he heard the little pig speak in a human voice,it said,Dont kill me. I want to live on as a pig. When I asked you to kill me, I didnt know what a pigs life would be like. Its great! Just let me go.

像猪一样生活
听到这类徒弟非常伤心，但他赞同照大师所说的去做。
事情正和大师提到的一样。在他们的对话之后不久，大师去世了，四只猪仔出生了。有一天，徒弟握着他的刀，挑选出脸上有记号的那只小猪。当他正要杀掉它时，小猪忽然开口说话：住手！不要杀我！小猪大喊道。
徒弟很吃惊，他听到小猪用人的声音说：别杀我！我想要当猪继续活下去。当我需要你杀我时，我并不了解猪的生活将是什么样。猪的生活非常棒！就让我活下去吧。
十2、 Greenland and Iceland
Greenland is the largest island on earth. It is in the north of Europe. Near Greenland is another island. It is small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is green and warm? Do you think that Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are wrong. Not many people live on the big island of Greenland. There are more people in your hometown than in all of Greenland. That is because Greenland is not green. Greenland is white. Most of Greenland is covered with lots of ice. The ice covering Greenland is higher than some of the worlds buildings. What about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it is not. Iceland has ice, but not so much ice asGreenland. Iceland has a Lot of hot springs. They give out hot water and steam . So it is not as cold as Greenland. And there are a lot more people who live in Iceland.

格林兰岛与冰岛
格林兰岛是世界上最大的岛屿。它坐落于欧洲的北部。在格林兰岛的附近有另外一个岛。这个岛非常小。它的名字叫冰岛。你觉得格林兰岛是绿色、温暖的吗？你觉得冰岛是冰覆盖的白色岛屿吗？假如你如此想，你就错了。格林兰岛上没不少人居住。你家乡的人会比整个格林兰岛的居民都多。那是由于格林兰岛不是绿色的，它是白色的。格林兰岛的大多数覆盖着不少冰。覆盖格林兰岛的冰比这个世界上的一些建筑物还要高。冰岛如何呢?它比格林兰岛还要冷吗？不，不是的。冰岛有冰，但不像格林兰岛那样多的冰。冰岛有不少温泉。这类温泉放出热水和蒸汽，因此冰岛不像格林兰岛那样冷。而且冰岛的居民远远多于格林兰岛。
