  areyoucarrots,eggsorcoffee?”

  1.女孩向父亲抱怨生活的不易,说自己有些不知所措,甚至想放弃。生活中的问题接踵而来,令人灰心。

  2.女孩的父亲是位厨师。他将女儿带入厨房,在三口锅中分别加入水,放在炉火上加热。

  水开了之后,他在第一口锅里放入一些胡萝卜,第二口锅里放入几个鸡蛋,第三口锅里放入咖啡。父亲一言不发,静静等待着。

  3.女孩不知所以,心中困惑,但也只有站在旁边一言不发,不耐烦地等待着。大约20分钟之后,父亲关掉炉火,先把胡萝卜取出放入碗中,继而将鸡蛋取出,同样置于碗中,最后将煮好的咖啡倒入杯中。

  4.此时父亲转向女儿问道:“我的乖女儿,你看到了什么?”女儿不解的答道:“胡萝卜,鸡蛋和咖啡。”

  5.父亲让女儿闭上眼睛去触摸那些胡萝卜。女儿照做了,感觉到胡萝卜是软的。然后父亲叫女儿把鸡蛋打破剥皮,剥皮之后,女儿摸了摸煮熟的鸡蛋,是硬的。最后父亲让女儿闻咖啡,女儿疑惑的问道:“爸爸,这是什么意思?”父亲解释道:“胡萝卜,鸡蛋和咖啡都经历了沸水的考验,但是它们的反应却不同。本来较硬的胡萝卜在沸水中变得软弱无力,外面只有一层薄薄的蛋壳,不堪一击的鸡蛋,在煮过之后却变得硬起来,咖啡比较特别,它竟可以将水改变!”

  6.父亲接着问道:“你又是怎样的呢?当厄运来临,你会作何反应?你会是胡萝卜,鸡蛋,还是咖啡呢?”

  1.红玫瑰花是她的最爱,她的名字也叫rose。每年她的丈夫都要送她打了可爱蝴蝶结的红玫瑰。他去世的那年,玫瑰花送到了她的门口,卡片上写着:“我的情人节礼物”,跟往年一样。

  2.每年他为她送红玫瑰,卡片上总这样说:“我今年更爱你,比去年的今天更爱。”“随着逝去的岁月,我对你的爱一直在增长。”她知道这将是最后一次收到玫瑰花。她想,他是提前订了玫瑰花。她亲爱的丈夫不知道,他将走了。他总喜欢把事情做在前头,这样,如果他很忙的话,每件事都照样做得妥妥当当。她整理好花茎,把它们插进一个特别的花瓶,然后,将花瓶放在他满脸笑容的像片旁,她会在她丈夫喜欢的椅子上坐上好几个小时,看着他的相片,玫瑰花放在那儿。

  3.一年过去了,没有他的日子很难过。孤独和寂寞,成了她的命运。然而,在情人节这天,跟以往送花的时间相同,门铃响了,在她的门口放着玫瑰花。她将玫瑰拿进屋,吃惊地看着它们。然后,拨通了花店的电话。她问店主能否向她解释一下,为什么有人要这么做,引起她的痛苦?

  4.“我知道你的丈夫一年多前去世了,”店主说。“我知道你会打电话来,你想知道是怎么回事。”“今天你收到的花,已经提前付了钱。”“你的丈夫总是提前计划,他做事从来不碰运气。”

  5.“我的存档里有一个固定的订单,他已经提前付了钱,你每年都会收到玫瑰花。还有另外一件事,我想你应该知道,他写了一张特别的小卡片……他几年前就写好了的。”

  6.“这样,如果我发现他已不在人世的话,这张卡片……这张卡片将在下一年送给你。”

  7.她谢了他,挂了电话,眼泪夺眶而出,当她慢慢地伸手去拿卡片时,她的手指在颤抖。
