B
In the middle of a dark forest, there lives an owl. All the animals know that he is the cleverest among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their difficulties. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.
One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “What's wrong with you?” asks the owl. “I'm not happy at all. I don't want to be a bird,” the bird says. “Why don't you want to be a bird?” asks the owl. “I am so small, weak and useless,” she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not.” Then the owl whispers something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away. One week later, the bird comes back. “Oh, thank you very much. You are a very wise owl,” she says to the owl. “I am very happy now. Every day, I sit on top of the tallest tree and watch for lions and tigers. When they come near, I shout at the top of my voice. Then my friends all run and hide. They are very thankful to me. I am useful and important now.”
The wise owl smiles and says, “No one in this world is useless.”

在一片黑暗的森林中央，住着一只猫头鹰。所有的动物都知道他是它们之中最聪明的。所以它们经常去找他，向他诉说自己的困难。然后猫头鹰总是会教导它们应该怎么做。
有一天，一只小鸟来到猫头鹰面前。她正在哭泣。“你怎么了？”猫头鹰问道。“我一点也不开心。我不想当一只鸟了。”小鸟说。“你为什么不想当一只鸟呢？”猫头鹰问道。“我是如此的渺小、虚弱和没用。”她哭着说。“我想要像狮子一样又大又强壮。他非常重要，但我却不重要。”然后猫头鹰在她耳边低语了几句。小鸟立刻擦干眼泪飞走了。一周后，小鸟回来了。“哦，非常感谢你。你是一只非常聪明的猫头鹰。”她对猫头鹰说。“我现在非常开心。每天，我都坐在最高的那棵树的树顶，留意狮子和老虎的动静。当它们靠近时，我就用最大的声音呼喊。然后我的朋友们都会跑开并藏起来。它们都非常感激我。我现在既有用又重要了。”
聪明的猫头鹰微笑着说：“这个世界上没有谁是没用的。”
