山西省永济市涑北中学高三英语总复习：美文欣赏（2）（Love of a Lifetime）

　　A teacher and his student lay down under the big tree near the grass．Then suddenly the student asked the teacher，“Teacher，I’m confused，how do we find our soul mate？Can you help me？”

　　Silent for a few seconds，the teacher then answered，“Well，it's a pretty hard and easy question．”

　　The teacher continued，“Look that way．There is a lot of grass．Why don’t you walk there？Please don’t walk backwards，just walk straight ahead．On your way，try to find a blade of beautiful grass and pick it and then give it to me．But just one．”

　　The student said，“Well，OK then... wait for me...”and walked straight ahead to the grass．

　　A few minutes later the student came back.

　　The teacher asked，“Well，I don’t see a beautiful blade of grass in your hand．”

　　The student said，“On my journey，I found quite a few beautiful blades of grass，but I thought that I would find a better one，so I didn't pick it．But I didn't realize that I was at the end of the field，and I hadn’t picked any because you told me not to go back，so I didn't go back.”
