before and now作文两三句

a good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. books possess an essence of immortality. they are by far the most lasting products of human effort. temples and statues decay, but books survive. time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. what was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. the only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good. books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. we hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with theme with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

在一个小池塘里，住着一群美丽又可爱的小鱼。 其中有一条小鱼从早到晚一直都在看着人们走路，它心里好羡慕，小声地说：“如果我也能象人们那样在陆地上行走就了。”它一直没有告诉别人自己的想法。 有一天，小鱼忍不住了，它游到它的好朋友——小花鱼面前，对小花鱼说：“小花鱼，在我们这个池子里，有没有鱼到过陆地上行走啊？”小花鱼想了好半天才回答道：“有是有，可它们都是老前辈了，你去，会不会……”小鱼打断它的话说：“你不要说这些，你只要告诉我它们是怎样到陆地上的就行了。”小花鱼说：“好吧，我告诉你，它们都是去找大魔法师才实现的。”小鱼问：“那你知道大魔法师在哪儿吗？”小花鱼说：“在小鱼神卷上记载了小鱼们是怎么来的，还包括了海洋世界内所有的魔法，小鱼神卷就在大魔法师手里，它就在皇宫——木桩里。”小鱼说了声谢谢，就直径往皇宫游去。 游了好一会儿，小鱼终于游近了皇宫，它进了皇宫，魔法师问：“噢，亲爱的孩子，我可以帮助你什么吗？”小鱼回答道：“我想像人们那样在陆地上走一圈。”魔法师说：“这好办！”它拿出小鱼做梦也不敢想的魔杖，念着咒语：“吃葡萄，不吐葡萄皮儿，不吃葡萄，倒吐葡萄皮儿。”咒语刚念完，小鱼和魔法师变成了人，它对小鱼说：“这咒语只能维持半个小时。”小鱼说：“就是一分钟也行。”于是，它们在主人家玩了起来。不知过了多久，魔法师突然大叫道：“啊！不好了，咒语有效时间要到了，快回到池塘边。”这时，正玩得得意忘形的小鱼听见了，急忙跟着魔法师跑到池子边，一下子钻到了水里，恢复了原来的样子。这次小鱼终于明白了，只要一个人有梦想，加上自己的努力，这个梦想就一定会实现。 所以小朋友们，要象小鱼这样做一个有梦想的人哦。
