The original text of "a leaf falls", I want to

Spring has passed, so has summer. Freddie Ye grew up. He is broad and strong, with five sharp tips.

In the spring, he was just a budding bud, emerging from a big branch at the top of a big tree. There are hundreds of leaves beside Freddie, all exactly like him-it seems so. However, he soon found that no two leaves are really the same, even though everyone grows on the same tree.

On Freddie's left is Alfred, on his right is Ben, and on his head is the lovely girl Clay. They grew up together, learned to dance when the spring breeze blows, bask in the sun lazily in summer, and take a clean bath when a cool rain comes occasionally.

Freddie's best friend is Daniel. He is the biggest leaf on this branch, and it seems to grow before all the other leaves come. Freddie also thinks Daniel is the smartest.

Daniel told everyone that they were all part of the big tree, that they grew up in the park, and that the big tree had strong roots deeply buried in the ground. In the morning, there are birds singing on the branches, stars, the moon and the sun in the sky, and seasonal changes. No matter what, Daniel has a set of reasonable explanations.

Freddie thinks it's good to be a leaf. He likes his branches, his light leaf friends, his home hanging high in the sky, the wind that pushes him around, the sun that warms him, and the moon that sheds a gentle and white shadow on him.

summer is especially good. He likes long, hot days, and warm nights are best for dreaming. Many people came to the park that summer. They all came to Freddie's tree and sat there to enjoy the cool.

Daniel told him that shading people is one of the purposes of leaves. "What is the purpose?" Freddie asked. "It is the reason for existence!" Daniel replied. "Let others feel comfortable, this is a reason for existence.

It is also a reason to provide shade for the elderly so that they don't have to hide in hot houses. Let the children have a cool place to play and use our leaves to fan the picnickers under the tree. These are all the purposes of existence! "

Freddie likes old people best. They always sit quietly on the cool grass and hardly move. They murmured and reminisced about the past time. Children are also fun, although they sometimes dig holes in the bark or carve their names. However, it is still very enjoyable to see children running so fast and laughing so much.

But Freddie's summer will soon be over. One night in October, summer suddenly disappeared. Freddie has never been so cold. All the leaves are shivering with cold.

A thin layer of white stuff covered them. When the sun came out, it melted and turned into crystal dew, making everyone wet. It was Daniel who told them that they had just experienced the first frost in their lives. It means that autumn is here and winter is not far away.

In a blink of an eye, the whole tree, even the whole park, was dyed with rich colors, and almost no green leaves could be found.

Alfred turned dark yellow, Ben turned bright orange, Claire was fiery red, Daniel was deep purple, and Freddie himself was half red and half blue, mixed with gold. How beautiful! Freddie and his friends turned the whole tree into a rainbow.

"We are all in the same tree, why are the colors different?" Freddie asked. "We are all different! Our experiences are different, facing the sun in different directions, casting different shadows and of course different colors. "

Daniel replied in his usual tone of "this is the way it is" and told Freddie that this wonderful season is called autumn.

one day, something strange happened. In the past, the breeze would make them dance, but on this day, the wind tugged at the leaf stalks and pushed them, almost as if they were angry. As a result, some leaves were torn off the branches, rolled into the air, scraped around, and finally fell gently to the ground.

all the leaves are afraid. "What's the matter?" They mumbled that you asked me and I asked you. "Autumn is like this." Daniel told them, "It's time for the leaves to move. Some people call this death. " "Are we all going to die?" Freddie asked. "yes."

Daniel said. "Everything will die. Big or small, strong or weak. Let's finish what we have to do first. We experience the sun and moon, wind and rain. We learn to dance and laugh. Then we will die. "

"I don't want to die!" Freddie said flatly. "Will you die, Daniel?" "hmm." Daniel replied, "When the time comes, I will die." "When was that?" Freddie asked. "No one knows when it will be." Daniel replied.

Freddie found that other leaves kept falling. He thought, "It must be their time." He saw some leaves struggling and torn by the wind before falling, and some leaves just dropped their hands and fell quietly. Soon, the whole tree was almost empty.

"I'm so afraid of death." Freddie said to Daniel, "I don't know what's down there."

"It's natural that you will be afraid of what you don't know." Daniel comforted him, "but when spring turns into summer, you are not afraid." When summer turns into autumn, you are not afraid. These are all natural changes. Why be afraid of the season of death? "

"Will our tree die, too?" Freddie asked.

"One day the tree will die, too. But there is something stronger than a tree, and that is life. Life is always there, and we are all part of life. "

"Where will we go when we die?"

"No one knows, it's a big secret!"

"Will we come back in spring?"

"We may not come back, but life will come back."

"So what's the point of all this?" Freddie continued to ask.

"If we are going to fall and die anyway, why are we here?"

Daniel replied in his usual tone of "this is what it is". "Isn't it enough for the sun and the moon, for the happy time together, for the shade, the old people and the children, for the colors of autumn and for the four seasons?"

that afternoon, in the golden evening sunshine, Daniel let go. He left without a struggle. He seemed to be smiling peacefully when he fell. "Goodbye for a while, Freddie." He said. Then Freddie was left. He was the only leaf left on that branch.

the next morning, the first snow fell. The snow is very soft and white, but it is extremely cold. There was hardly any sunshine that day, and the days were very short. Freddie found his color faded and became dry and fragile.

It's always cold, and the snow feels so heavy on me. In the early morning, a gust of wind took Freddie away from his branch. It didn't hurt at all. He felt himself floating quietly, gently and softly.

when he fell, he saw the whole tree for the first time. What a strong and solid tree! He is sure that the tree will live for a long time, and he is proud to know that he was once a part of its life.

Freddie landed on a snowdrift. Snowdrifts are soft and even warm. He felt more comfortable than ever in this new position. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He didn't know that winter would come after spring, nor did he know that snow would melt into water.

He doesn't know that his seemingly dry and useless body will make the tree stronger with the snow water. In particular, he didn't know that it was the vitality of new leaves next spring that was sleeping in the trees and the land.

every time someone introduces me, as long as I can pronounce my name correctly, I am extremely happy. I like to say my name, because it contains all five vowels in the alphabet and is a beautiful Italian name. My last name is spelled B-U-S-C-A-G-L-I-A, but there are many different pronunciations. The most interesting thing about this surname happened when I made a long-distance call. The line is busy. The operator said to call me as soon as the line is connected. When she called, I picked up the receiver and heard her say, "Please tell Dr. Box Car that the phone he wanted is connected." I said, "You mean Buscaglia, right?" She said, "Sir, you can call it anything."

Some chapters in Love, Life and Learning

Today, I am here to tell you about love, which I call "talking about love in the classroom". You are brave enough to allow me to come here and talk about love in the classroom. People often ask me to disguise the word love, or at least add a few words before and after love.

You see, it's like "love is the power to reshape behavior". That sounds scientific and won't scare anyone away. It's the same when I talk about love on the university campus. When all my colleagues meet me on the road, they will giggle at me and poke me and say, "Hey, is there a love experiment class on Saturday?" I had to assure them that there was no.

I want to give you some background information and tell you how I came up with the idea of talking about love in the classroom. About five years ago, the dean of our college of education interviewed me. At that time, I had just resigned as the head of the special education department in a large school district in California, because I decided that I could not be an administrative official and wanted to go back to being a teacher.

The dean is a very orthodox person, sitting behind a big desk. As soon as I sat down, he asked me, "Bascalia, what courses do you want to teach in the next five years?" I replied without hesitation, "I want to teach love lessons." He froze, silent, just like you are so quiet now. Then, he cleared his throat and said, "What other classes do you want to teach?"

I started this course two years later, when there were only twenty students. Now I have 2 students, and there are still 6 who can't make it. Last time I started school, my class was full in 2 minutes. This shows how excited and enthusiastic the students are about the love class ...
