There was a blacksmith（铁匠） who wasn't satisfied with his work．Once he complained, “I am not well and my work is too warm．I want to be a stone on the mountain．There it must be cool for the wind blows and the trees give a shade．．” A wise man who had power over all things replied, “Go you, be a stone．” And he was a stone, high up on the mountain side．It happened that a stone-cutter came that way for a stone and when he saw the one that had been the blacksmith, he knew that it was what he sought and he began to cut it．The stone _cried_ out, “This hurts! I no longer want to be a stone．A stone-cutter I want to be．That would be pleasant．” The wise man, humoring him, said, “Be a cutter．”thus he became a stone-cutter and as he went seeking a suitable stone, he grew tired and his feet were sore（酸痛）．He complained,” I no longer want to cut stone．I would be the sun; that would be pleasant．” The wise man commanded “Be the sun．” And he was the sun．But the sun was warmer than the blacksmith, than a stone, than a stone-cutter, and he complained, “I do not like this．I would be the moon．It looks cool．” The wise man spoke yet again, “Be the moon．” And he was the moon．This is warmer than being the sun,”whispered he, “for the light from the sun shines_on me ever．I do not want to be the moon．I would be a smithagain．That, indeed, is the best life．” But the wise man replied, “I am boredof your changing．You wanted to be the moon; the moon you are and you will remain．”翻译一下
