The Apple Tree and the Dandelion

It was spring and the apple tree put out its bright little flowers. They were so lovely that even the princess was muchimpressed.

She cut off some branches and arranged them in a valuable vase in a palace hallway.

The apple branch was very proud of this tribute to its beauty. Through the windows it could see the flowers in the garden and the meadow, and it pitied them greatly for their foible, especially the humble dandelion, because with one puff chil­dren could blow away their seeds, suing them naked and defenceless. 

He pitied them because their destiny was so different from his. At the same time, he was proud of his own shapeli­ness, his beauty, and his rich vase in the hall. It did not occur to him that the sun shone on the poor dandelion just as brightly as it did on him.

One day, however, the princess brought in a dandelion to paint, and put it in the same vase as the flowering apple branch. Beside the delicate beauty of the meadow flower, destined to be blown away by the wind, the white flowers of the apple grew a bit red, with shame.

The Pride of Icarus

Daedalus, one of the greatest inventors of ancient times, was asked by theking of Crete to build a maze where he could imprison the Minotaur, a monster half-man and half-bull, sothat it could never get out again. 

The ingenious architect did as he was asked, but some time later he helped Theseus, a famous hero, to kill the monster. 

As a punishment, the king of Crete ordered Daedalus to be impri­soned himself in the labyrinth, with his young son, Icarus.

“Don't worry,” the father encour­aged the boy. “I know already how we can get out of this prison!”

Daedalus made a huge pair of wings and he stuck them with wax onto his son's shoulders. The wings could be moved up and down by moving the arms. Then Daedalus made another pair of wings for himself.

The wings worked wonderfully. The two men took off, and with a few armstrokes they managed to climb high enough to get over the walls of the labyrinth, But then the young boy, out of pride, wanted to fly higher and higher, until the heat from the sun Melted the wax and his wings fell off. 

Then Icarus plunged to the ground and died. Daedalus, full of sadness, carried on flying until he reached safety.

Our Last Night

(Malam Terakhir Kita)

For a very first time in my life I felt so helpless. For a first time I couldn’t say anything. I was crying silently and the only thing that made my heart beat was you. And you seem so sad. Where is that charming smile of yours??

I feel your heart crying, it doesn’t want to be lonely. Two crystal clear tears run down your cheek. You turn quickly; you don’t want me to see them. At that very moment I knew you loved me. I am drifting again in my thoughts...

Time has no meaning when I am with you. I notice no one. When you hug me the stars get brighter as if they are small candles lit by our love.

You give me the most passionate nights and the tenderest kisses. When I cuddle in your arms I feel so secure and powerful. I don’t want to think about the future. No, I don’t, not at times like these when I am so happy.

I love you more and more each day. Time is not a bus or a car and it can’t be broken or stopped.

Yes, today is our last night together "Don’t cry, dearest, I want to tell you that I love you more than anything in the whole world "..! For a first time in my life I feel numb, for the first time I hate my fate!

You hugged me in your warm embrace, kissed me, turned and left. My heart was tearing in parts.

I was standing in front of the entrance, seeing the most precious person in my life leave!

For a first time I was so helpless, I wanted but couldn’t stop you.

Today I am here….How quickly life changes.

You were making love to me yesterday passionately, and today a whole ocean stands between us.

I am lying in the bed alone, and the only thoughts I have are again about you! (Sumber: Dulya.com)
