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!

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!

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place.
As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. "Run!" I told myself and began to do so, both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.
About a block from my flat, I heard a noise behind me. I turned quickly, but the street was empty. The noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn't realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat. It had been my wallet falling to the street.
I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran back to where I had heard the noise. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me. A voice called from the truck driver, "Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and a man jumped out. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.
