　　英语四级听力美文第39篇:Feather in the Wind

　　A certain good woman one day said something that hurt her best friend of many years. Sheregretted immediatelyand would have done anything to have taken the words back.What shesaid hurt the friend so much that this good woman was herself hurt for the pain she caused. Inan effort to undo what she had done, she went to an older, wiser woman in the village, explained her situation, and asked for advice. Listening to her, the older woman sensed theyounger woman’s distress and knew she must help her. She also knew she could neveralleviate her pain, but she could teach. She knew the outcome would depend solely on thecharacter of the younger woman. She said, “Tonight, take your best feather pillows and put asingle feather on the doorstep of each house in town before the sun rises.” The young womanhurried home to prepare for her chore, even though the feather pillows were very dear to her. All night long, she labored alone in the cold. Finally the sky was getting light, she placed thelast feather on the steps of the last house. Just as the sun rose, she returned to the olderwoman. “Now,” said the wise woman, “Go back and refill your pillows with the feather you haveput on the steps. Then everything will be as it was before.” “You know that’s impossible! Thewind blew away each feather as fast as I placed them on the doorsteps!” The young woman wassurprised. “That’s true,” said the older woman. “Never forget. Each of your words is like afeather in the wind. Once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless how heartfelt or sincere, cannever return them to your mouth. Choose your words well and guard them most of all in thepresence of those you love.”
