很久很久以前,山顶上矗立着三棵小树,它们谈论着自己长大后的梦想。
Long ago three trees stood upon a hill dreaming of what they would become.
第一棵小树梦想成为一个漂亮的珠宝箱,它对另外两棵树说道:“我想装载世界上最炫目的珠宝!”
它开始想象自己是一个精雕细琢的珠宝箱,装满了贵重的宝石,闪闪发亮的金子以及其他的珍宝。

she told the other trees. She imagined herself as an intricately carved chest filled with gems,gold,and other treasures.
第二棵小树梦想成为一艘坚固的轮船。它骄傲地宣布说:“我要承载有权柄的君王和王子们,让他们乘着我周游世界,完成重要的旅行。”它开始想象自己是一艘巨型游轮,在大海里乘风破浪。
The second tree dreamed of becoming a strong sailing ship.He declared proudly,“I want to carry kings and princes on theirimportantvoyages around the world.”He imagined himself large and powerful,sailing the mighty seas.
第三棵树不想离开这大山顶,它只想在山顶上茁壮成长。
它说:“我希望当人们抬头看这座山的时候,会看到我站在这里,指向天堂。”它开始想象自己以后枝繁叶茂的样子,自豪、快乐地指向天空。它想象着,人们抬头看它时就想起了上帝和上帝对他们的爱。

She imagined herself full of branches, pointing proudly and happily to the sky. She hoped people would look up at her and remember God and His love for them.
