A candlelight that had grown fat and saucy with too much grease boasted one evening before a large gathering that it shone brighter than the sun,the moon,and all the stars put together.Right at that moment,a puff of wind came and blew it out.Someone lit it again and said,"Shine on,friend candlelight,but hold your tongue.The lights of heaven are never blown out.”

一天晚上，在一个大聚会前，一盏油腻腻的烛光夸耀说，它比太阳、月亮和所有星星加在一起都要亮。就在那一刻，一阵风吹来，把它吹灭了。有人再次点燃它，说：“加油呀朋友，烛光，但你得管住你的嘴，天上的光是永远不会熄灭的。”
