4. The Astronomer
An astronomer used to go out at night to observe the stars.
One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well.
While he cried loudly for help, a neighbor heard and rushed to the well.
When he learned what happened, he said:
“Why, in trying to see into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?”
5. The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
A Donkey once found a Lion's skin which the hunters had left out in the sun to dry. He put it on and went towards his native village.
All fled at his approach, both men and animals, and he was a proud Donkey that day.
In his delight he lifted up his voice and brayed, but then every one knew him,
and his owner came up and gave him a sound cudgelling for the fright he had caused.
And shortly afterwards a Fox came up to him and said: “Ah, I knew you by your voice.”
Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool.

10. the shawshank redemption escape scene
In 1966, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank prison.
All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub.
I remember thinking it would take a man 600 years to tunnel through the wall with it.
Old Andy did it in less then 20.
Andy crawled to freedom throuth 500 yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or I just don't want to.
500 yards. That's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile.
Andy Dufresnde, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.
Andy Dufresnde, headed for Pacific.
--------------------- Andy 的事迹结束 | 接自己的感受 ----------------------
Somtimes, it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone
I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged.
Their feathers are just too bright.
And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.
But still ... the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone.
I guess I just miss my friend.
