What goes around, comes around

He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so .. was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson."

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and! God knows there were plenty who
had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and
it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "And think of me."

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her! wet hair. she had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you." Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard..

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's gonna be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson."

There is an old saying "What goes around comes around." Today, I sent you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on ... Let this light shine.

星座起源的美丽传说：水瓶的眼泪

伊是一位王子。

伊是特洛伊城的王子，是一位俊美不凡的少年。他的容貌是连神界都少有的。

伊不爱人间的女子，他深深爱着的是宙斯神殿里一位倒水的侍女。这个平凡的侍女曾经在一个夜晚用曼妙的歌声捕获了伊的心，也夺走了特洛伊城里所有女孩的幸福。

天界的那个女孩叫海伦，和特洛伊城里最美丽的女子海伦拥有同样美丽的名字。宙斯非常喜爱海伦，尽管她只是一个侍女。可是有一天，海伦无意中听到太阳神阿波罗和智慧女神雅典娜关于毁灭特洛伊城的决定，海伦不顾戒律赶去给王子伊报信。结果在半途中被发现，宙斯的侍卫们将海伦带回了神殿。宙斯不忍处死她，但决定好好惩罚她。在他的儿子阿波罗的提示下，宙斯决定将这份罪转嫁给与海伦私通的特洛伊王子身上。

这天，宙斯变做一只老鹰，降临在特洛伊城的上空。他一眼就看见在后花园中散步的王子。宙斯惊呆了，他见过许多美丽的女神和绝色的凡间女子，却从来没见过如此俊美的少年。宙斯被伊特别的气质深深吸引，一个罪恶的念头油然而生。他从天空俯冲下来，一把抓起伊，将他带回了神殿。

在冰冷的神殿，伊见不到家人也见不到海伦，他日渐憔悴。而宙斯却逼迫伊代替海伦为他倒水，这样他就可以天天见到这个美丽的男孩。宙斯的妻子女神赫拉是个嫉妒成性的女子，她看在眼里，怒在心头，她不仅嫉妒宙斯看伊时那样无耻的眼神，更嫉妒伊有着她都没有的美丽光华。于是赫拉心生毒计，决定加害这个无辜的王子。她偷偷将海伦放走，海伦自然要与伊私逃下界，这时她再当场将两人捉住。雅典娜明白这是赫拉的计谋，但也无能为力，被激怒的宙斯决定处死伊。然而，就在射手奇伦射出那致命一箭的刹那，侍女海伦挡在了伊的胸前！

眼看奸计没能得逞，赫拉恼羞成怒之下，将伊变成了一只透明的水瓶，要他永生永世为宙斯倒水。然而，水瓶中倒出来的却是眼泪！众神无不为之动容，于是宙斯变将伊封在了天上，作一个忧伤的神灵。

伊夜夜在遥远的天际流泪，人们抬头看时只见一群闪光的星星仿佛透明发亮的水瓶悬于夜空，于是叫它水瓶座。

星座起源的美丽传说：双鱼的浪漫

鱼也有眼泪，只因在水中哭泣，我们看不见罢了。

爱神丘比特也有自己的爱情。只不过，那是一段很远很远的往事了，没有人记得，也没有人提起。

故事要从美神维纳斯说起。当维纳斯还很年轻的时候，她爱上了大卫——这个古罗马传说中最美的男子。大卫是完美的，而维纳斯是残缺的，她是一个断臂美女，她的残缺在大卫眼中却是如此的完整。他们的结合是神界里最伟大的爱情，正因如此上天赐给他们一件最能象征爱情的礼物，那就是他们的孩子丘比特。 　　丘比特是一个长着双翼的可爱男孩，他有一把玲珑的神弓，凡是被他的箭射中的人们都会相爱，而且会永远幸福。但是，同样渴望爱情的丘比特却不能带给自己幸福，因为他无法用箭射中自己。

就在那次神的宴会上，维纳斯带着心爱的儿子丘比特去参加，一个神情特别的女孩闯进了丘比特的心。这个女孩很漂亮，却一脸的黯然神伤，丘比特走上前询问原因，原来这个女孩是预言家所罗门的女儿，所罗门曾经预言这是一场灾难的宴会，而她，血石，将成为这场灾难的祭献。丘比特听后非常的伤心，因为他不仅同情女孩的遭遇，而且已经不知不觉间爱上了她。

就在这个时候，可怕的百眼怪出现了！它呼风唤雨，将宴会搅得一塌糊涂。百眼怪是专门与众神为敌的，它本领很大，众神拿它都没有办法，除了拼命的逃离。血石说：“不能再这样下去了，我们终究要除掉这个恶魔。”她似乎忘记了父亲的预言，勇敢的冲向了怪物。而丘比特万分担心血石的情况下，竟慌乱的朝怪物射了一箭，他只想击退他，却忘了他自己的箭是做什么用的。不幸的是这只箭不仅射中了怪物，还射中了奔向怪物的血石！与此同时，维纳斯找到了心爱的儿子，拉起他跳进河里，他们变成两条鱼来脱险。丘比特无法挣脱母亲的手，他含泪回头望着，望着血石和怪物一起离开，消失在茫茫的宇宙中……

后来，天上就有了一个星座叫双鱼，可是丘比特不在上面，他一个人孤独的坐在木星上，有的时候会向着地球的方向射上一箭。于是，浪漫的双鱼座女孩就会在世界末日与陌生人共舞，爱上他，然后移民到另一个星球去结婚生子……

星座起源的美丽传说：牡羊的嫉妒

在一个遥远而古老的国度里，国王和王后因为性格不和而离婚，国王再娶了一位美丽的王后。可惜，这位新后天性善妒，她看到国王对前妻留下的一对儿女百般疼爱，非常的恼火。日积月累，她决定除掉王子和公主，夺回国王的爱。

春天来的时候，新后将发放给百姓的麦种全部炒熟，这样，农民们无论怎么浇水施肥都不可能使麦子长出新芽。这时候，新后开始散布谣言，说庄稼颗粒不收是因为国家受到了诅咒，而受到诅咒完全是因为王子和公主邪恶的念头！因为邪恶的王子和公主，全国的人民都将陷于贫穷饥饿的深渊中，这是一件多么可怕的事啊！善良而淳朴的百姓轻易的相信了王后的话，很快地，全国各地不论男女老少，都一致要求国王一定要将王子与公主处死，国家才能解开这个诅咒，平息天怒，人民的幸苦耕种才会有收获，国家也才能回复过去的安定富足。国王众怒难犯，虽心有不舍，但还是下令处死王子和公主。

这个消息传到了王子和公主生母的耳中，她于是向宙斯求救，日日祈祷。宙斯很快知道了这件事情，就在行刑的当天，他派出一只长着金色长毛的公羊将王子和公主救走。王子一直没有感到恐惧，因为他的天性乐观；而公主顽皮粗心，就在飞跃大海的时候，一个不小心掉下羊背摔死了。宙斯为了奖励公羊将它高高悬挂的天上，也就是今天大家熟知的牡羊座，而王子的乐观和公主的粗心就是牡羊座人的最大特点。

星座起源的美丽传说：金牛的诱惑 　

在非常遥远的古希腊时代，欧洲大陆还没有名字，那里有一个王国叫腓尼基王国，首府泰乐和西顿是块富饶的地方。国王阿革诺耳有一个美丽的女儿叫欧罗巴。

欧罗巴常常会梦到一个陌生的女人对自己说：“让我带你去见宙斯吧，因为命运女神指定你做他的情人。”那时候宙斯还只有赫拉一个妻子，而且宙斯并不爱他的妻子，他整日处在郁郁寡欢之中，命运女神克罗托觉得帮助宙斯找到幸福。她知道火神有一件长襟裙衣，淡紫色的薄沙上用金丝银线绣了许多神祗的生活画面，价值连城，而且美不胜收。克罗托把这件衣服要过来，让宙斯去送给欧罗巴。起初宙斯兴致不大，但当他见到欧罗巴时，不禁为她的美色深深吸引，宙斯无可自拔的爱上了这个欧陆公主。他以一位邻国王子的身份去提亲，并把神衣送给了欧罗巴。但是欧罗巴并没有答应他，她心里一直想着命运女神的承诺。

一天清晨，欧罗巴像往常一样和同伴们来到海边的草地上嬉戏。正当它们快乐的采摘鲜花、编织花环的时候，一群膘肥体壮的牛来到了片草地上，欧罗巴一眼就看见牛群中那一只高贵华丽的金牛。牛角小巧玲珑，犹如精雕细刻的工艺品，晶莹闪亮，额前闪烁着一弯新月型的银色胎记，它的毛是金黄色的，一双蓝色的眼睛燃烧着情欲。那种无形的诱惑让欧罗巴难以抗拒，她欣喜地跳上牛背，并呼唤同伴一起上来，但是它们没有人敢像欧罗巴一样骑上牛背。正在这个时候，金牛从地上轻轻跃起，渐渐飞到了天上。同伴们惊慌的喊着欧罗巴的名字，欧罗巴也不知所措，金牛飞跃沙滩，飞跃大海，一直飞到一座孤岛上。这时候紧牛变成了一个俊逸如天神的男子，他告诉她，他是克里特岛的主人，如果欧罗巴答应嫁给他，他可以保护她。但是欧罗巴没有答应他，她心里一直想着命运女神的承诺。

一轮红日冉冉升起，欧罗巴被一个人撇在了孤岛上，她向着太阳的方向怒喊到：“可怜的欧罗巴，你难道愿意嫁给一个野兽的君王做侍妾吗？复仇女神，你为什么不把那头金牛再带到我面前，让我折断她的牛角！”突然，她的背后传来了浅笑，欧罗巴回头一看，竟是梦中那个陌生的女人。美丽的女人站在她面前说到：“美丽的姑娘，快快息怒吧，你所诅咒的紧牛马上就会把他的牛角送来让你折断的。我是美神维纳斯，我的儿子丘比特已经射穿了你和宙斯的心，把你带到这里来的正是宙斯本人。你现在成了地面上的女神，你的名字将与世长存，从此，这块土地就叫做欧罗巴。”欧罗巴这才恍然大悟，终于相信了命运女神的安排。而十二星座中的金牛座也由此得名，成为爱与美的象征。

星座起源的美丽传说：双子的情义

在遥远的希腊古国，有一个美丽动人的传说。温柔贤惠的丽达王妃有一对非常可爱的儿子，他们不是双生，却长得一模一样，而且两兄弟的感情特别深厚，丽达王妃觉得十分幸福。

但是有一天，希腊遭遇了一头巨大的野猪的攻击，王子们召集了许多勇士去捕杀这头野猪。其间，勇敢的哥哥杀死了野猪，但是也受了伤。凯旋归来，举国欢庆的时候，丽达王妃为了安慰受伤的哥哥，偷偷向他吐露了实情。原来，哥哥并不是国王与王妃所生，而是王妃与天神宙斯的儿子。所以，他是神，拥有永恒的生命，任何人都伤害不了他。哥哥知道以后再三保证不会告诉任何人这个秘密，哪怕是他最亲爱的弟弟。 　　然而，不幸的是，勇士们因为争功而起了内乱，竟形成了两派，彼此看对方不顺眼。后来他们开始打了起来，场面一发不可收拾。两位王子立即赶去阻止，但是没有人肯先停手。就在混战之中，有人拿长矛刺向哥哥，弟弟为了保护哥哥，奋勇扑上，挡在哥哥的身前。结果，弟弟被杀死，哥哥痛不欲生。其实哥哥有永恒的生命又怎么会被杀死呢？只怪不知情的弟弟太爱他的哥哥了。

哥哥为此回到天上请求宙斯让弟弟起死回生。宙斯皱了皱眉头，说到：“唯一的办法是把你的生命力分一半给他，这样，他会活过来，而你也将成为一个凡人，随时都会死。”但是哥哥毫不忧郁的答应了。他说，弟弟可以为了哥哥死，哥哥为什么不能为了弟弟死呢？宙斯听了非常感动，以兄弟俩的名义创造了一个星座，命名为双子座。

星座起源的美丽传说：巨蟹的故事 　　

在很久很久以前，赫五力大战蛇妖许的时候，从海中升出一只巨蟹为帮助蛇妖咬了赫五力的脚踝，后来这只巨蟹被赫五力打死，落在了爱琴海的一座小岛上。巨蟹没有完成女神赫拉的任务，因而被诅咒，这诅咒便波及到了雅典王后的身上。在雅典公主美洛出生的时候，就有一位预言家预言，公主结婚的时候就是王后死亡的时候。为着这个预言，王后一直没有叫公主嫁人。

直到美洛二十岁的时候，雅典城来了一位王子，名叫所飒。所飒是慕名而来，他一心想娶美洛为妻，而美洛在第一眼见到所飒时也深深的爱上了他。然而诅咒是可怕的，公主也不希望只为了自己的幸福去牺牲母亲的生命。于是她想尽办法阻止所飒也阻止自己的欲望。他定下了九关，就如同九个不可能完成的任务一样，除非所飒一一做到，他才可以迎娶美洛。然而，英勇无比的所飒竟一一做到了！公主陷入了两难的境地。伟大的母亲为了女儿的幸福，毅然决定把美洛嫁给所飒。

在美洛和所飒举行婚礼的这一天，王后并没有到场，她不希望宴会上出现什么意外来破坏气氛。王后一个人悄悄走向海边，迎接着爱琴海的浪涛，蹈水自尽了。当人们怎么也找不到王后时，在海上发现了一只巨大的蟹，它的双臂环绕在胸前，仿佛缺乏安全感，又像是一位善于保护的母亲。

拉知道这件事情以后也有些后悔，于是让那温柔而敏感的母亲在天上成为一个星座，它的形象就是一只巨蟹。

星座起源的美丽传说：狮子的勇敢 　

尼密阿是巨人堤丰和蛇妖厄格德的儿子。当人与妖相爱的时候，尼密阿就从月亮上掉了下来，是上天赐给这对夫妇一个漂亮的宝贝，家人都叫他阿尼。 　　阿尼实际上是个半人半妖的怪物。白天他是一头凶猛的狮子，全身的皮毛闪着太阳的颜色；到了晚上，他才变成人形，是一个金发蓝眼的少年。

阿尼的妹妹许德拉是一个九头蛇妖，她的上半身和人一样，而且十分美丽；下半身是蛇，月光一样的银色。

阿尼从小就深深爱着许，他们虽然有同样的父母，但阿尼是从天上掉下来的，而许是母亲厄格德自产的。许一直认为阿尼是天上的某颗星星，终归是要回到天上去的，而阿尼说，在回到天上以前愿意为许做任何事，包括死。他们于是相爱了。

然而幸福的日子很快被厄运撕碎。英雄赫五力按照神谕昭示，接受了国王的十项任务，其中两项就是杀死阿尼和许。阿尼不明白为什么神界的争斗要波及到他们，宙斯犯下的错要他们来承担。阿尼本不愿与赫五力为敌，但为了保护心上人许，他决定将赫五力挡在尼密阿大森林外。许想要阻止他前往，阿尼安慰到：“除了你，没有人能杀死我！你放心吧，我一定可以战胜这个宙斯与凡人的儿子。”说完，他只身前往去会赫五力。

许很爱阿尼，他不会让阿尼去送死，她决定在阿尼之前击退赫五力，哪怕是同归于尽。许来到阿密玛纳泉水旁迎战赫五力。然而，尽管她可以变出九个头形成咄咄逼人之势，但赫五力毕竟是一个伟大的英雄，他勇敢而果断的杀死了蛇妖许，并把随身带的箭全部浸泡在剧毒蛇血里。

傍晚，阿尼也终于找到了赫五力，他现在是一头浴血的雄狮，朝赫五力猛扑过来。赫五力拔剑与狮子战在一处，但狮子的皮毛似乎任何利器也穿不透，赫五力根本没法杀死他。天色渐渐暗了下来，赫五力想到那些浸毒的箭，于是瞄准狮子射了过去。一支、两支没有射中，第三支箭射中了狮子的心脏。那浸着许的毒血的箭一下子射进了阿尼破碎的心。狮子倒在地上变成了人。赫五力惊诧的看着阿尼，而阿尼一句话也没有说就死去了。

后来宙斯让阿尼回到了天上变成了星星，就是那个灿烂如太阳的狮子座。而属于狮子座的人类也被赋予了勇于为爱情而牺牲的性格。

星座起源的美丽传说：处女的冬天

泊瑟芬是一个纯洁的女神。

她是人间的大地之母、谷物之神狄蜜特的独生女儿，是春天的灿烂女神，只要她轻轻踏过的地方，都会开满娇艳欲滴的花朵。

有一天，泊瑟芬和同伴们在山谷中的草地上摘花，她惊奇的发现一朵银色的水仙，美的光彩照人。她渐渐远离了同伴，伸手去采摘那朵水仙。就在她摘下它的一瞬间，水仙化作一团紫色的烟雾，一股淡淡的阴间的香气弥漫开来。烟雾渐渐散去，眼前出现了一个一身黑色，有着紫色眼眸的俊逸非凡的男子。

泊瑟芬惊的后退了一步。只见那男子嘴角边流露出一丝可怕的笑，说到：“女神，你破除咒语救了我，那就履行我的誓言嫁给我吧！”泊瑟芬还没有弄明白是怎么一回事，地上就裂开一道缝，一股强大的力量把她卷了进去……

泊瑟芬的呼救声回荡在山谷里，狄蜜特抛下手中的谷物，飞跃千山万水去寻找女儿。人间没有了大地之母，种子不再发芽，肥沃的土地结不出成串的麦穗，人类面临巨大的灾难。这一切很快传到了宙斯的耳中，他知道劫走泊瑟芬的是冥王海地士，便下令再一次诅咒他。海地士终究敌不过宙斯的法力，但他是真的爱着泊瑟芬。他知道自己马上就会再次陷入长长的昏睡，于是对泊瑟芬说：“我身上的香气应该属于人间，请你把它带走吧！”说完，海地士闭上眼睛，再也看不见心爱的春天女神泊瑟芬了

泊瑟芬从地府回到人间的时候正是春天，她把百花的香气撒在大地上，把灿烂的阳光带给每一个人。然而，她却忘不了在地府长眠的海地士，那双紫色的眸子在女神的心里挥之不去。夏天，女神疲惫的思念着；秋天，女神又沉甸甸的思念着。到了冬天，女神终于忍不住跑到了地府看望海地士。这时候海地士就会奇迹般的醒过来，等到春天泊瑟芬一离开他，他又陷入睡眠。年复一年，这个纯洁美丽的处女发现自己是真的爱上了阴郁的冥间幽灵。

于是宙斯便规定一年之中有四分之一的时候可以让他们相会。从此以后，大地结霜，寸草不生的冬天就是泊瑟芬到地府去见海地士的日子。宙斯感动于这份特别的爱情，将天上的一个星座封为处女座以纪念泊瑟芬为人间所做的一切。

星座起源的美丽传说：天秤的心愿

正义女神是宙斯的女儿，海神波塞冬是宙斯的弟弟。

在极为遥远的年代，人类与神一起居住在地上，过着和平快乐的日子。而正义女神和波塞冬在长时间的相处中也产生了感情，他们彼此尊重，互相爱慕。正义女神有着男子一样的气质，坚毅而热情；波塞冬像海一样深邃，冰冷。宙斯有无数的妻子，因此也有数不清的儿女，而波塞冬是他唯一的兄弟，是他和天后赫拉用泪水造出来的。不仅宙斯和天后疼爱他，神殿里所有的神祗都视如掌上明珠。正义女神却十分独立，有自己的思想。

人类很聪明，他们逐渐学会了建房子、铺道路，但与此同时也学会了勾心斗角和欺骗。战争和罪恶开始在人间蔓延，许多神无法忍受纷纷回到天上居住，只有正义女神和波塞冬留了下来。女神没有对人类绝望，她认为人类终有一天会觉悟，回到过去善良纯真的本性。但是波塞冬却对人类丧失了信心，他悲观的劝女神回到天上去。女神自然不听，于是两人生平第一次争吵。他们争执得很激烈，从人类的问题上不断升级，最后竟吵到了彼此的身世上。正义女神鄙夷波塞冬不过是一滩咸水，而波塞冬则抖落出宙斯的丑闻及女神私生的事实。正义女神受到极大的侮辱，找到父亲宙斯评理。天后赫拉建议两人比赛，看谁能更让人类感受和平，谁输了谁就向对方道歉。赫拉偏爱波塞冬，又嫉妒正义女神的母亲，她知道水是生命的源泉，一定会让人类感到和平。

比赛的地点设在天庭的广场，由海神先开始。只见波塞冬朝墙上一挥，裂缝中就流出了非常美的水，晶莹剔透，让人看了以后感到无限的清凉与舒适。这时候正义女神变成了一棵树，这棵树有着红褐色的树干，苍翠的绿叶以及金色的橄榄，任何人看了都感受到爱与和平。波塞冬朝女神微笑着，他知道女神的心愿终于实现了。

人类认识到和平的重要，女神与波塞冬和好如初，宙斯为了纪念这样的结果，把随身带的秤往天上一抛，就有今天的天秤座。

星座起源的美丽传说: 天蝎的无奈

世上原本是没有沙漠的，没有沙漠也没有琥珀。 　　

太阳神的宫殿，是用华丽的圆柱支撑着，镶着闪亮的黄金和璀璨的宝石，飞檐嵌着雪白的象牙，两扇银质的大门上雕着美丽的花纹，记载着人间无数美好而又古老的传说。太阳神阿波罗的儿子法厄同，女儿赫莉就居住在这个美丽的宫殿里。法厄同天生美丽性感，冲动自负；妹妹赫莉温柔善良，却没能得到父亲的恩赐，拥有一张太阳神那样美丽的面孔，这使得她很无奈，因为她深深爱着的是法厄同。同样喜欢法厄同的还有绝美的水泉女神娜伊。

日复一日，年复一年，在无尽的相思与失望之中赫莉渐渐变得忧郁而敏感，自负的法厄同并不理解她，依旧与娜伊成双成对。每当赫莉有所表示，法厄同总是以他们是同一个父亲为由将赫莉挡在门外。赫莉再也无法忍受他的绝情和冷漠，终于，一个无知的谎言在她的脑海中诞生了。有一天，她找到法厄同，对他说：“亲爱的哥哥，我不能再隐瞒你了，虽然她是我们的母亲，我本不该嘲笑她什么，但我不得不告诉你，你并非天国的子孙，而是克吕墨涅，也就是我们亲爱的母亲，和一个不知名的凡人所生。”冲动的法厄同轻易的相信了一向不说谎的妹妹，跑到父亲阿波罗那里问个究竟。但是无论阿波罗怎样再三保证，他就是不相信自己是父亲的亲生儿子。最后，太阳神无奈，指着冥河起誓，为了证明法厄同是自己的儿子，无论他要什么，他都会答应。然而法厄同选择的却是太阳神万万没有料到的太阳车！要知道法厄同根本不会驾驶太阳车，如果不按照规定的航线行走，那必将酿成大祸。可是，自负的儿子完全听不进劝告，跳上太阳车，冲出了时间的两扇大门。

星星一颗颗隐没了，金色的太阳车，长着双翼的飞马，无尽的天空，魔鬼一样的幻象……法厄同根本控制不了太阳车，任由它在时空里毁灭性的穿梭。草原干枯了，森林起火了，庄稼烧毁了，湖泊变成了沙漠！地上的人们不是冻死就是热死，天昏地暗，人世间充斥了无数的怨气。赫莉眼睁睁看着惨剧的发生，知道是这一切都是自己的错，她无奈的叹着气，狠心放出一只毒蝎，咬住了法厄同的脚踝，众神这才欲趁机阻止他，但是一切都为时太晚了，燃烧着的法厄同和太阳车一起从天空坠落到广阔的埃利达努斯河里。水泉女神娜伊含泪将他埋葬。而赫莉绝望的痛哭了四个月，最后变成了一棵白杨树，她的眼泪变成了晶莹的琥珀。宙斯为了警示人类自负的弱点，以那只立了大功的蝎子命名了一个星座，叫天蝎座。

星座起源的美丽传说：射手的善良

在遥远古希腊的大草原中，驰骋着一批半人半马的族群，这是一个生性凶猛的族群。“半人半马”代表着理性与非理性、人性与兽性间的矛盾挣扎，这就是人马部落。部落里唯一的例外射手奇伦，是一个生性善良的男子，他对人坦诚真挚，谦逊有理。因此受到大家的尊敬与爱戴。

有一天，英雄赫五力来拜访他的朋友奇伦。赫五力早就听说人马族的酒香醇无比，便要求奇伦给他拿来享用，可是，他喝光了奇伦的酒仍不尽兴，执意要喝光全部落的酒。奇伦非常耐心地解释给他听，酒是部落的公共财产，不是任何一个人可以独自占有的，希望赫五力不要因为一时的兴致而犯众怒。赫五力向来脾气暴躁，怎么能听得进奇伦的话，他把这个善良的朋友推到一边就闯进了人马部落。果不出奇伦所料，暴躁的赫五力和凶猛的人马族碰在一起，冲突不可避免的发生了。

赫五力力大无穷，幼年即用双手扼死巨蟒，他完成国王的十项不可能完成的任务都游刃有余，连太阳神阿波罗都惧他三分，人马族虽然厉害，也并不是赫五力的对手，他们纷纷落逃。赫五力手持神弓紧紧追赶，借着酒劲，大肆进攻。人马族被逼的走投无路，只好逃到了奇伦的家中。人们惶惶不安，赫五力站在门口大声呵斥，如果再没人出来，他就把这个部落毁掉。奇伦听到这里，为了部落，为了朋友，为了化解这场争斗，他奋不顾身的推开门，走了出来。就在那一刹那，赫五力的箭也飞了过来！赫五力惋惜又痛心的看着自己的朋友被神箭射穿心脏，而奇伦则用尽最后的力气说到：“再锋利的箭也会被软弱的心包容；再疯狂的兽性也不会泯灭人性。”

这时候，奇伦的身体碎成了无数的小星星，飞到了天上，它们聚集在一起，好象人马的样子，那只箭还似乎就在他的胸前。为了纪念善良的奇伦，人们就管这个星座叫射手座。

星座起源的美丽传说：魔羯的幸福 　　

牧神潘恩长得很丑。他日日看管着宙斯的牛羊，却不敢与众神一起歌唱；他一直爱慕着神殿里弹竖琴的仙子，却不敢向她表白……这一切都只因为他丑陋的外表。潘恩害羞而自卑，也没有什么法力，在天界几乎不名一文。

没有人了解他那丑陋的外表下掩藏着的炽热的心，也没有人愿意走近他去聆听他那动人的箫声。在天河的尽头有一个湖泊，是谁也不敢涉足的，因为它的水是被诅咒过的，任何人踏进河水一步都会变成鱼，永远也变不回来。但是潘恩无所顾及，他知道即使自己在最热闹的地方也不会有人注意，还不如就在这湖泊边上吹箫，或许仙子可以听见呢！

然而有一天，正当众神设宴欢聚的时候，黑森林里的多头百眼兽却突然窜进了大厅！这只怪兽呼天哮地，排山倒海，所有的神都无法制服它，于是纷纷逃离。正弹着竖琴的仙子被吓坏了，她呆立在那里，不知道如何是好。眼看怪兽冲着仙子而去，胆小而害羞的潘恩却猛的跳了出来，他抱起仙子就跑，怪兽紧紧追赶。潘恩知道自己根本跑不过怪兽，情急之中忽然想起了天河尽头的湖泊，于是拼命的向湖泊跑去。怪兽也知道那湖泊的厉害，它暗笑潘恩的愚蠢，往那里跑岂不是自寻死路！

但是怪兽万万没有想到，潘恩竟义无返顾的踏进了那个湖泊，他把仙子高高擎在手中，自己站在湖泊的中央。怪兽这下没了办法，只好放弃。等到怪兽离开以后，潘恩才小心翼翼的挪到岸边放下仙子。仙子十分感激想把潘恩拉上来，但是潘恩的下半身已经变成了鱼！宙斯以他的形象创造了魔羯座，而魔羯座的人们也像潘恩一样，严谨而内敛，对于幸福有着自己独特的理解。

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So I thought this would be a piece of cake.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then
even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'.

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.'

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to

LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

copy and paste...

1) I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
2) No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3) Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4) A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5) The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6) Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7) To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8) Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9) Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10) Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11) There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12) Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13) Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.


Indeed a gentle reminder to us on our life and friendships.

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in K-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence.It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow downthe spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the K-Mart.We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of theworld. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were allcaught in.

"Mum, let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?" Mum asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait untilit slows down a bit," Mum replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated.

"Mum, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mum said.
"No, we won't, Mum. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mum's arm.
Mum said, "This morning? ... When did Isay we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember?" Little girl replied. "When you were talking toDaddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mum paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mum said.

Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one canever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories (happy ones please) everyday. Making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life".



Long ago, there lived a King. This King should have been contented with his life, given all the riches and luxuries he had. However, this was not the case! The King always found himself wondering why he just never seemed content with his life. Sure, he had the attention of everyone wherever he went, attended fancy dinners and parties, but somehow, he still felt something was lacking and he couldn't put his finger on it. One day, the King had woken up earlier than usual to stroll around his palace. He entered his huge living room and came to a stop when he heard someone happily singing away ... following this singing ... he saw that one of the servants was singing and had a very contented look on his face. This fascinated the King and he summoned this man to his chambers. The man, his servant, entered the King's chambers as ordered. The King asked why he was so happy?

The man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but I make enough of a living to keep my wife and children happy. We don't need too much, a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummy. My wife and children are my inspiration, they are content with whatever little I bring home. I am happy because my family is happy."

Hearing this, the King dismissed the servant and summoned his Personal Assistant to his chambers. The King related his personal anguish about his feelings and then related the story of the servant to his Personal Assistant, hoping that somehow he will be able to come up with some reasoning that, here was a King who could have anything he wished for at a snap of his fingers and yet was not contented, whereas his servant, having so little, was extremely contented. The Personal Assistant listened attentively and came to a conclusion.

He said "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club."
"The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?" the King inquired.
To which the Assistant replied, "Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, you will have to do the following ... place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep, you will then understand what The 99 Club is."

That very same evening, the King arranged for 99 Gold coins to be placed in a bag at the servant's doorstep. Although he was slightly hesitant and he thought he should have put 100 Gold coins into the bag, but since his assistant had advised him to put 99, that is what he did. The servant was just stepping out of his house when he saw a bag at his doorstep. Wondering about its contents, he took it into his house and opened the bag. When he opened the bag, he let out a great big shout of joy ...Gold Coins ... so many of them. He could hardly believe it. He called his wife to show her the coins. He then took the bag to a table and emptied it out and began to count the coins. Doing so, he realised that there were 99 coins and he thought it was an odd number so he counted again, and again and again only to come to the same conclusion... 99 Gold Coins. He began to wonder, what could have happened to that last 1 coin? For no one would leave 99 coins. He began to search his entire house, looked around his backyard for hours, not wanting to lose out on that one coin. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to make up for that 1 Gold coin to make his entire collection an even 100 Gold Coins. He got up the next morning, in an extremely horrible mood, shouting at the children and his wife for his delay, not realising that he had spent most of the night conjuring ways of working hard so that he had enough money to buy himself that gold coin. He went to work as usual - only not in his usual best mood, singing happily - as he grumpily did his daily errands. Seeing the man's attitude change so drastically, the King was puzzled. He promptly summoned his assistant to his chambers. The King related his thoughts about the servant and once again, his assistant listened. The King could not believe that the servant who until yesterday had been singing away and was happy and content with his life had taken a sudden change of attitude, even though he should have been happier after receiving the gold coins.

To this the assistant replied "Ah! but your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club." He explained. "The 99 Club is just a name given to those people who have everything but yet are never contented, therefore they are always working hard and striving for that extra 1 to round it out to 100! We have so much to be thankful for and we can live with very little in our lives, but the minute we are given something bigger and better, we want even more! We are not the same happy contented person we used to be, we want more and more and by wanting more and more we don't realise the price we pay for it. We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us just as a price to pay for our growing needs and desires. That is what joining the 99 Club is all about."

Hearing this the King decided that from that day onwards, he was going to start appreciating all the little things in life. Striving for more is always good, but let's not strive so hard and for so much that we lose all those near and dear to our hearts, we shouldn't compromise our happiness for moments of luxuries!

一早起来头痛要死。。。因为前晚喝的烂醉回家。

强迫挣开眼。床头放了一杯水跟几颗头痛药。起身后又看到衣服已烫好，叠好在床边。

实在太反常了。。。决定起身看一看房子。

还会有什么奇怪的事呢？

起身把药吃了，发现有张字条。。。

“亲爱的~我出去买菜了~你的早餐已在餐桌上~趁热吃吧~爱你哦~~~~ ”

一头雾水走进厨房，果然看到热腾腾的早餐在桌上。。。

对吃着早餐的女儿问：

“昨晚到底发生什么事？”

女儿回答：

“你凌晨三点跌跌撞撞大吼大叫回了家，把几个家具打破踹烂，然后又撞上走廊墙壁送了自己黑眼圈。”

越听越不明白。。。

“那为何家里给打扫得那么干净？你妈竟然还做早餐给我呢？”

女儿恍然大悟说：

“噢~~你问这个？？妈看你烂醉回家，一肚子火把你拉到房里把脏衣服换掉，结果脱你裤子时你大声吼了一句。。。”

喂！小姐！你滚远一点！我已经结婚了！

*************

把自己灌醉 --- $$$$$

坏掉的家具 --- $$$$$$$

早餐 --- $$$

说对了话 --- 无价！！

只要你开心就好 （重编）

每天乘搭公车上下班，来回通勤时间约莫近二小时，有时人少，可坐在位置上欣赏窗外的风景；人多时，也只能慢慢的挤回家，但这时，往往身旁其他乘客的对话总会不时地传到耳边。

前日往回家的公车上，起初乘客不多，转程靠站时，乘客顿时多了起来。一对上班族男女恰巧在我身边，吸引了我的目光。可能因为人多，男的不时地将手臂围住女的，并轻声地问：“累不累？待会想吃些什么？”

只见女的不耐烦地回答：“我已经够烦了，吃什么都还不先决定，每次都要问我。”

男的一脸无辜的低下了头，而后说了令我印象深刻的话：“让你决定是因为希望能够陪你吃你喜欢吃的东西，然后看到你满足的笑容，把今天工作的不愉快暂时忘掉。我的能力不足，你工作上所受的委屈我没办法帮你，我所能做得也只有这样。”

女的听了后，满怀愧疚地说声对不起。男得这才似乎重燃信心般说：“没关系，只要你开心就好。”

而后亲吻了女的头发。公车到站，下车前再回头看看这对情侣，男的依旧保护着心爱的人。

这样的情景，让我觉得自己今天同样在工作上有些不愉快，如果没有听到这一段对话，回家后的我，可能也是一幅全世界都对不起我的臭脸面对心爱的人，只在乎自己的委屈，却忽视对方的感受，不自觉的伤害最亲密的人。

所以在踏进家门时，我告诉自己，难道我要像公车上那位女孩一样忍心将自己的不满委屈带给身旁的人吗？不，我想我现在应该做的是别再把工作上的情绪发泄在爱人身上，破坏了最亲密的关系，并且主动给自己一个微笑。

每一株玫瑰都有刺，
正如每一个人的性格中，
都有你不能容忍的部分。

爱护一朵玫瑰，
并不是得努力把它的刺根除，
只能学习如何不被他的刺刺伤，
还有。。。
如何不让自己的刺刺伤心爱的人。。。

很多事情，
错过了就没有了。
缘分也是。。。
