In the middle of a city, there was a museum that was decorated with beautiful marble tiles (大理石砖) and a huge marble statue (大理石像). Many people from all over the world visited the museum every day and admired the statue. One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.

Tiles: Hey statue. Don’t you think it’s unfair that everybody comes here to admire you while stepping on us?

Statue: My dear brothers. Don’t you remember that we are actually from the same place?

Tiles: Yes, we do. That is why we feel it is even more unfair. All of us were born from the same place, and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!

Statue: Yes, you are right, my brothers. But do you still remember the day when the artist tried to work on you, but you refused him?

Tiles: Yes, we didn’t like him. We turned him away because we didn’t want to get hurt.

Statue: Well, since you refused his tools, he couldn’t work on you. When he decided to give up on you, he started working on me. I knew at once that I would be something different and special after his hard work. I bore (忍受) all the pain and allowed him to fashion (雕琢) me as he wanted!

Tiles: But it hurt quite a lot.

Statue: My brothers, there is a price for everything in life. Since you decided to give up halfway, you can’t complain about the world’s unfairness to you.?

The marble tiles became quiet and deep in thought. The harder the knocks you go through in life, the more you learn and can put to use in the future!
