leaped the flames of roaring bonfires thursday in a small spanish town in a centuries-old festival that has raised the anger of animal rights activists. smoke and flames filled the night in san bartolome de pinares, a central spanish town of some 600 inhabitants, in the annual festival held thursday, the eve of saint anthony s day for the patron saint(守护神)of animals. one by one, horses and their riders jumped the flames in the narrow, paved streets of the town. “no one knows how old the tradition is. my grandfather told me that his great-grandfather took part, ”said 34-year-old diego martin. “they say it could be 300 or 400 years old. ”the town is fiercely attached to the festival, despite opposition from animal rights groups concerned about the safety of the horses. just a few days earlier, spain s national association for the welfare of animals asked the town s people not to let their horses leap over the fires, apparently in vain. “there was an illness that killed all the horses in the town. since then, we have done this to purify them to keep away any evil by asking for the protection of the saint, ”explained 20-year-old libertad gomez, who has been taking part for seven years. “more than a tradition, for us it is a feeling. it is something you live almost since you were born, ”said libertad, who rode with dozens of others through the streets. indeed, the smoke is so thick that it affects the horse and rider as they leap the fires. that does not stop youngsters from taking part in a tradition, such as 10-year-old alejandro nunez, who jumped for the second year running on a white horse. “i really like it. at first, it was a bit scary but that goes, ”he said, equipped with a helmet and a checkered scarf to protect him from the smoke. 1. we can learn by

wisdom and provide inspiration. they are important to our development. but sometimes people choose not to tell. consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news:people are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of ebola. there is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. bobette buster said it like this, “the fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie(妖怪)left in a bottle. when they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free. ”there are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story:they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages;they require courage and strength to share;and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secretespecially those that embarrass someone else. most of us have two selves:the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. and the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. honesty and openness is important:it proves we are trustworthy. it displays we are human. we are not perfect or better. it highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. but with hard work, we do not have to be
