The house of 1000 mirrors
Long ago, in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the house of 1000 mirrors.
A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as he could. To his great suprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly.
As he left the house, he thought to himself "This is a wonderful place and I will come back and visit often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house too. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.
As he left, he thought to himself, "That's a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
千镜之屋
很久以前,在一个很远的小村庄里,有一个以“千镜屋”闻名的地方,一只乐观的小狗听说了这个地方,决定去参观。当他来到这个地方,他蹦蹦跳跳地上了台阶,来到房门口,他高高地竖起了耳朵,欢快地摇着尾巴,从门口往里张望,他惊奇地看到1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样欢快地摇着尾巴,他灿烂地微笑着,回报他的是1000张热情,友好的笑脸。离开时他心想:“这真是个奇妙的地方,我一定要常来看看。”
在这个村里,还有一只小狗,他也想去参观“千镜屋”,,他不如第一只小狗乐观,他慢吞吞地爬上台阶,耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看,一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他,他便开始冲他们狂吼,镜子中的1000小狗也冲着他狂吼,把它给吓坏了。它在离开时心想:“这真是一个恐怖的地方,我再也不会来了。”
世界上所有的脸都是镜子,在你所遇见的人的脸上,你看到的反射出来的又是什么呢?
