。“现在你爱这稻谷吗?”精灵又取出一束黄澄澄的稻谷。鸟儿抬头望着远处的一湾泉水回答:“现在我爱那一湾泉水,我有点渴了。”精灵摘下一片树叶,里面盛了一汪泉水。鸟儿喝完泉水,准备振翅飞去。“请再回答我一个问题,”精灵伸出指尖,鸟儿停在上面。“你要去做什么更重要的事吗?我这里又稻谷也有泉水。”“我要去那片开着风信子的山谷,去看那朵风信子。”“为什么?它能驱赶你的饥饿?”“不能。”“它能滋润你的干渴?”“不能。”爱是什么?一个精灵坐在碧绿的枝叶间沉思。风儿若有若无。一只鸟儿飞过来,停在枝上,望着远处将要成熟的稻田。精灵取出一束黄澄澄的稻谷问道:“你爱这稻谷吗?”“爱。”“为什么?”“它驱赶我的饥饿。”鸟儿啄完稻谷,轻轻梳理着光润的羽毛。“现在你爱这稻谷吗?”精灵又取出一束黄澄澄的稻谷。鸟儿抬头望着远处的一湾泉水回答:“现在我爱那一湾泉水,我有点渴了。”精灵摘下一片树叶,里面盛了一汪泉水。鸟儿喝完泉水,准备振翅飞去。“请再回答我一个问题,”精灵伸出指尖,鸟儿停在上面。“你要去做什么更重要的事吗?我这里又稻谷也有泉水。”“我要去那片开着风信子的山谷,去看那朵风信子。”“为什么?它能驱赶你的饥饿?”“不能。”“它能滋润你的干渴?”“不能。”,其实,世上最温暖的语言,“不是我爱你,而是在一起。”所以懂得才是最美的相遇!只有彼此以诚相待,彼此尊重,相互包容,相互懂得,才能走的更远。相遇是缘,相守是爱。缘是多么的妙不可言,而懂得又是多么的难能可贵。否则就会错过一时,错过一世!择一人深爱,陪一人到老。一路相扶相持,一路心手相牵,一路笑对风雨。在平凡的世界,不求爱的轰轰烈烈;不求誓言多么美丽;唯愿简单的相处,真心地付出,平淡地相守,才不负最美的人生;不负善良的自己。人海茫茫,不求人人都能刻骨铭心,但求对人对己问心无愧,无怨无悔足矣。大千世
