18世纪,在瑞士巴塞尔生活着一个贫穷的鞋匠。他孤身一人,每天出去补鞋,晚上回来躺在木棚里。他感觉生活没有一丝希望。就在那个春天的早晨,一只燕子飞到他的木棚檐下,开始筑巢。这让他惊喜不已。他想,燕子都来了,一切都会好起来的。那只燕子成了他最大的安慰。 In the 18th century, a poor shoemaker lived in Basel, Switzerland. He was alone and went out every day to make up his shoes and lay back in the shed at night. He felt no hope of life. It was on that spring morning that a swallow flew under his wooden canopy and started to nest. This surprised him. He thought the swallows were coming and everything would be alright. That swallow became his greatest comfort.
