不完整的圓圈

Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole， so it went around looking for its missing piece.

But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly， it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine.

It found lots of different pieces， but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.

Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole， with nothing missing.

It made the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle， it could roll very fast， too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms.

When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly， it stopped， left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

從前，一個圓圈缺了一塊楔子。它想保持完整，便四處尋找那塊楔子。

由于不完整，所以它只能慢慢地滾動。一路上，它對花兒露出羨慕之色，它與蠕蟲談天侃地，它還欣賞到了陽光之美。

圓圈找到了許多不同的楔子，但沒有一塊與它相配。所以，它將它們統(tǒng)統(tǒng)棄置路旁，繼續(xù)尋覓。

終于有一天，它找到了一個完美的配件。圓圈很高興，現(xiàn)在它可以說是完美無缺了。

它裝好缺失的那部分，并開始滾動起來?，F(xiàn)在它已成了一個完美的圓圈，所以滾動得非?？?，以至于難以欣賞花兒，也無暇與蠕蟲傾訴心聲。

當(dāng)圓圈意識到因快速疾馳而失去了原有的世界時，它停了下來，將找到的配件棄置路旁，又開始慢慢地滾動。
