不忘初心，方得始终Do not let anything turn your purpose

There was once a little Kid whose growing horns made him think he was a grown-up Billy Goat and able to take care of himself.

So one evening when the flock started home from the pasture and his mother called, the Kid paid no heed and kept right on nibbling the tender grass.

A little later when he lifted his head, the flock was gone.

He was all alone. The sun was sinking. Long shadows came creeping over the ground. A chilly little wind came creeping with them making scary noises in the grass.

The Kid shivered as he thought of the terrible Wolf. Then hestarted wildly over the field, bleating for his mother. But not half-way, near a clump of trees, there was the Wolf!

The Kid knew there was little hope for him.

'Please, Mr. Wolf,' he said trembling, 'I know you are going to eat me. But first please pipe me a tune, for I want to dance and be merry as long as I can.”

The Wolf liked the idea of a little music before eating, so he struck up a merry tune and the Kid leaped and frisked gaily.

Meanwhile, the flock was moving slowly homeward. In the still evening air the Wolf's piping carried far. The Shepherd Dogs pricked up their ears.

They recognized the song the Wolf sings before a feast, and in amoment they were racing back to the pasture.

The Wolf's song ended suddenly, and as he ran, with the Dogs at his heels, he called himself a fool for turning piper to please a Kid, when he should have stuck to his butcher's trade.

曾经有一只小羊，刚刚长出犄角就以为自己已经长成比利山羊一样，能够照顾好自己。一天傍晚，羊群开始从牧场回家，羊妈妈叫他跟上。可是小羊没放在心上，继续啃着鲜嫩的牧草。过了一会儿，当小羊抬起头来看，发现羊群已经走远了。他落单了，太阳正往下落，地上留下长长的影子。寒冷的轻风刮过草地，发出凄厉的吵杂声。这时小羊想到了可怕的狼，不禁打了个冷颤。接着他开始在草地上瞎跑，咩咩地呼叫妈妈。可是没跑到一半，眼前出现一片树林，狼正等在那里。

小羊知道还有一点希望。“狼先生，”他哆嗦着说，“我知道你就要吃掉我了。死之前，请你为我伴奏，好让我最后能够尽情地跳舞快乐一次，好吗？”

狼也觉得美餐前来点音乐助兴是不错的主意。于是他奏起了欢快的曲子，小羊又蹦又跳舞姿很华丽。

那时候羊群正慢慢回到家。草原的傍晚很安静，狼

的笛声传得很远。牧羊犬竖起大耳朵，他们认出那是狼大餐前爱唱的歌，他们立刻飞奔回牧场。

狼的歌声突然停止了，只见他在前边跑，狗在后边追。狼一边跑一边骂自己蠢，真不该忘了自己是个屠夫，却吹着笛子去讨好一只羊！

是啊，对于狼来说，不忘初心，方能方得始终。但是，对于羊来说，天无绝人之路。你为之付出了所有的努力了吗？

Do not let anything turn you from your purpose，不忘初心，方得始终。

There are always more ways than difficulties. 天无绝人之路，办法总比困难多。

二句，以君共勉。
