Then it reached a desert, ―I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,‖ she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. At this time, a deep voice said, ― if a breeze (微風 ) can cross the desert, so can a river.‖ It was the voice of the desert.

Let yourself evaporate (蒸發(fā) ) into the breeze, and it can take you across.‖ said the desert. ―Give up what I am now? No! No!‖ The little stream could not accept this idea. ―The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸汽 ) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.‖ said the desert. ―And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.‖ Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze.
