A tortoise (乌龟) was resting under a tree. When he looked up, he saw a bird sitting in his home in the tree. The tortoise spoke to the bird,"What a broken home you have! It's made of old tiny sticks. It has no roof and looks ugly. What's worse, you had to build it little by little on your own. Look at my house. It's my shell (壳), which I was born with on my back. I think my house is much better than your poor home. "
"Yes, my house is made of tiny sticks, looks broken and is open to the wind and rain. It's ugly, but I built it myself, and I like it," the bird replied.
"I guess it's just like any other house, but not better than mine," said the tortoise. "You must be jealous (嫉妒的) of my shell. "
"Not really," the bird answered. "My house has space for my family and friends, but your shell can not hold anyone other than you. Maybe you have a better house, but I have a better home. " After all, a home is more meaningful than a house.
