在很久以前，一条名叫小江的河流汇入了一片广袤无垠的大海。
当小江第一次接触到大海时，他抱怨道：“我们的水本是甘甜可口的，但你们却将我们变成咸得不可饮用的水了。”
大海听到后，并没有生气，而是平静地回答说：“请你们别再流到我这里面来，你们也就不会变咸了。”
小江听后很疑惑，他不明白为什么大海会这么说。
于是他决定去寻找答案。
小江首先来到了一片茂密的森林，遇到了一位智慧的老树爷爷。
老树爷爷告诉他：“海洋之所以咸，是因为它包含了来自世界各地的各种元素和矿物质，这些都是大自然的馈赠。而河流是由雨水、泉水等组成，所以它们的味道比较清新。”
听完老树爷爷的话，小江更加好奇了。
他又继续前行，来到了一座高山脚下，遇到了一只聪明的山羊。
山羊告诉他：“河流汇入大海，就像是孩子们长大成人一样。每一个阶段都有其独特的价值和意义。河流虽然甜美，但它无法提供大海那样的广阔和深沉。”
小江听了山羊的话，开始思考自己的存在意义。
他想了很久，终于明白了大海的意思。
原来，河流进入大海并不是被改变了，而是成为了更大的一部分。
河流和大海都是自然的一部分，它们各自有各自的职责和使命。
从此以后，小江不再抱怨大海，而是欣然接受了自己成为大海一部分的事实。
他知道，这就是生命的奇妙之处，每个人都有自己的位置和角色，只要做好自己，就能为世界增添一份美好。
这个故事告诉我们，要看到事物发展的总趋势，不要纠缠在枝节问题上。
每个人都有自己独特的位置和使命，只有接受并珍惜这些，才能更好地成长和发展。
In ancient times, a river named Little River flowed into a vast sea.
When Little River first touched the sea, he complained, "Our water is sweet and delicious, but you have made it salty and undrinkable."
The sea heard this, but did not get angry. Instead, he calmly replied, "Please stop flowing into me, and you will not become salty anymore."
Little River was confused by this and didn't understand why the sea would say such a thing.
So he decided to find out the answer.
First, Little River came to a dense forest and met an old tree grandfather full of wisdom.
The old tree grandfather told him, "The reason the sea is salty is because it contains various elements and minerals from all over the world, which are gifts from nature. Rivers, on the other hand, are made up of rainwater and spring water, so their taste is fresher."
After hearing what the old tree grandfather said, Little River became even more curious.
He continued his journey and arrived at the foot of a high mountain, where he met a smart goat.
The goat told him, "A river flowing into the sea is like a child growing into an adult. Each stage has its own unique value and meaning. Although rivers are sweet, they cannot provide the vastness and depth that the sea can."
Hearing what the goat said, Little River began to think about the meaning of his existence.
He thought for a long time and finally understood the meaning behind the sea's words.
It turned out that when a river flows into the sea, it is not being changed, but becoming part of something bigger.
Both rivers and seas are part of nature, each with their own duties and missions.
From then on, Little River no longer complained about the sea, but happily accepted the fact that he had become part of the sea.
He knew that this was the wonder of life - everyone has their own place and role. As long as we do our best, we can add beauty to the world.
This story tells us to see the overall trend of things and not to get caught up in trivial matters.
Everyone has their own unique position and mission. Only by accepting and cherishing these can we grow and develop better.
