After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can‟t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风 )can cross the desert,so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That‟s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That‟s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发 )into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No!No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽 )across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you‟re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this,the little stream went into the open arms of breeze.
