One day when some government officials were
rebuilding a house, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make
the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they saw mice running out, one
after another, but they saw two mice didn't run away immediately. It seemed
that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they came
nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the two mice was blind, and
the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite his tail in order to pull
the blind one with him to run away.
During the meal time, they started to talk
about the two mice. One serious American said, "I think the relationship
between those two mice was that of king and guard."
A smart Frenchman
said, "I think the relationship between them was that of husband and
wife."
A Japanese said, "I think the relationship between
them was that of mother and son."
At that
moment, one Chinese asked,
"Why did those two mice have a certain relationship?"
Suddenly, they
looked back at the Chinese. The American, the Frenchman and the Japanese who
had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and didn't answer.
In fact, the great love
is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no
relationship.
