英语美文 Unconditional Love 无条件的爱  

The following story took place long ago in Israel. One day when government officials were rebuilding a barn
they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to e out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out
one after another.
Then
everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they just about to start to clean up
they saw o mice squeezing out at the exit of the hole. After some endeavor
the mice finally got out. The strange thing was that after they came out of the hole
they did not run away immediately. Instead
one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled
so they stepped closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything
and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After witnessing what happened
everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During meal time
the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the o mice.
One serious Rome official said: “I think the relationship beeen those o mice was that of emperor and minister.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” Thus the Rome official showed his arrogance superciliously.
A smart Israeli said: “I think the relationship beeen those o mice was husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while
and all felt it made sense; so they expressed assent. Therefore
the Israeli’s countenance showed self-satisfaction.
A Chinese
who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to parents
said: “I think the relationship beeen those o mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while
and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed assent yet another time. Therefore
the face of the Chinese conveyed professional humility.
At that moment
one pure-minded Samaritan who was squatted on the ground resting his chin in his palms
bewilderedly looked at other people
and asked: “Why did those o mice have to have a certain relationship?”
Suddenly
the atmosphere froze. Stupefied
the group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless. The Rome official
the Israeli and the Chinese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame
and did not dare to respond.
In fact
the true love is not established on benefit
friendship and loyalty or blood relationship. Instead
it is based on no relationship.
