While walking outside one morning, I saw the most beautiful thing. It was early, and I was walking on dewy（带露水的）grass down to the office. Suddenly a flash came out straight from the ground, about 15 feet in front of me, and shot up into the sky. I stopped. 　 ①　 What could make such a bright light? Could it be a diamond（钻石）？I waited to see if it would repeat, but it didn't.

I walked slowly toward it, but saw nothing. I looked down at the grass, searching for gold or some kind of metal - again, nothing. 　 ②　 Suddenly, I saw it. The rising sun hit the grass' dewdrop(露珠）at the perfect way, sending great light into the sky. It was as if I had just discovered a tiny new world and it was just the unseen world that was giving me a heads-up, "Hello, look at what's around you," it said. I've never forgotten that moment.

So next time you're out, take some time to notice nature, whose beauty most of us never even see. Look at the beautiful colors and different small flowers that cover playing fields—we walk all over them without a second look. 　 ③　 Watch a bee dancing, or tiny ants going on their way, or birds singing in the sky. All of these natural living things are amazing—if only we took the time to notice them.

Have an eye for nature, and you'll find a new secret each day to keep in your heart. 　 ④__ It's one of the most wonderful things I've ever done.

One day, a raven(渡鸦）happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan(天鹅)and its feathers(羽毛）were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with it. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.

Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them.
