Why Men Have to Work
The sky used to be very close to the ground. In fact,it wasn’t any higher than a man’s arm when he raised it above his head.Whenever anybody got hungry. all he had to do was to reach up and break off a piece of the sky and eat it. That way, no one ever had to work.
Well, it was a fine arrangement for a while, but sometimes people would break off more than they could eat, and what they couldn’t eat they just threw on the geound. After all, the sky was so big that there would always be enough for everybody to eat. What did it matter if they broke off more than ther actually wanted.
Maybe it didn’t matter to them, but it mattered to the sky.In fact, it made the sky angry to see itself lying on the ground,half-eaten,like garbage.So one day the sky spoke out and said,“Now look-at-here!Can’t have this!Uh-uh.Can’t have you people just breaking off a piece of me every time your stomach growls and then taking a little bite and throwing the rest away.Now if you din’t cut it out,l’m going to move go faraway,no one will ever touch me again!”
Well,people got the message.In fact,they were pretty scared,and for a while they made sure that no one ever broke off more of the sky than he could eat.But slowly they began to forget.One day,a man came by and broke off a chunk big enough to feed forty people for a month.He took a few little bites,licked around the edges,threw the rest oves his shoulder,and walked on down the road just as happy and dumb as anything you’ve ever seen.Well,the sky didn’t say a word,but with a great roar,the sky lifted itself up as high as it could,and that was pretty high.
Whe the people realized what happening,they began crying and pleading with the sky to come back.They promised that they would never do it again,but the sky acted like it didn’t hear a word.
The next day,the people didn’t have a thing to eat,and they had to go to work to feed themselves,and that’s why man is working to this very day.

人为什么一定要工作
曾经，天地非常接近。事实上，当一个人举起胳膊的时候，天地之间的距离并不会长过胳膊的高度。什么时候人要是饿了，他要做的就是举起胳膊，拿一块天来吃。这样，没有人需要去工作。暂时看来，这是一个不错的安排，但是有时候人们会取下超过他能吃下的天，吃不完他们就扔到地上去了。毕竟，天太大了，总是够大伙儿一直吃下去的。多取下来点，又有什么关系呢？
或许对他们来说没什么大不了的，但是对天来说就是问题了。事实上，天非常生气，因为自己只被吃了一半就被扔在了地上，象垃圾一样。所以有一天，天开口说话了，“现在，听我说！不能再这样了！不能再让你们这些人每次肚子咕咕作响时，就从我身上取下一块，然后只吃一点就扔掉了。如果你们还是这样的话，我会离你们远一些，没有人能够再碰到我。”
好了，人们知道了这个消息。事实上，他们很害怕，有那么一段时间，他们确实没有再从天身上取下超过他们能吃掉的份量。但是渐渐地，他们开始忘记了。一天，来了一个人，他取下了一大块，足够四十个人吃一个月。他咬了几小口，沿着边上舔了舔，把剩下的从自己的肩膀上面扔到地上（注：也就是向后扔），然后继续走他的路，就象你曾经看过那些既快乐又愚蠢的东西一样。天没有说一句话，但是随着一声咆哮，天把自己向上尽量高高举起，这真的是很高很高。
当人们意识到发生什么事时，他们开始号淘大哭并恳求天能够回来。他们发誓再也不会那样做了，但是天就当作什么都没有听到。
第二天，人们没有东西吃了，他们只好出去工作以养活自己，这就是为什么人们直到现在还
