The Little Bird and the Wise Owl
One morning, a small bird was flying around the forest. It was very happy and full of energy. While it was flying, it saw an old owl sitting on a tree.
“Good morning, Mr. Owl,” said the bird. “Why are you so quiet today?”
The owl looked at the bird and said, “I am thinking about the meaning of life.”
The bird laughed. “That sounds too serious! Life is just about flying and eating. Why think so much?”
The owl smiled gently. “You are young, and your days are filled with joy. But one day, you will grow older, and you may wonder why you are here.”
The bird didn’t understand. “But I like my life now. Why should I worry about the future?”
The owl replied, “Because knowing yourself and your purpose can bring more happiness than just living without thought.”
The bird thought for a moment and then said, “Maybe you're right. I’ll try to think more about what I want from life.”
From that day on, the little bird began to fly not just for fun, but with a new sense of purpose.

小鸟与智慧的猫头鹰
一天早上，一只小鸟在森林里飞来飞去。它非常开心，充满活力。当它飞着的时候，看到一只老猫头鹰坐在树上。
“早上好，猫头鹰先生，”小鸟说，“你今天为什么这么安静？”
猫头鹰看着小鸟说：“我在思考生命的意义。”
小鸟笑了：“听起来太严肃了！生活就是飞和吃东西，为什么要想那么多呢？”
猫头鹰温和地笑了笑：“你还年轻，你的日子充满了快乐。但有一天，你会变老，也许会想知道你为什么在这里。”
小鸟不理解地说：“但现在我喜欢我的生活，为什么要担心未来呢？”
猫头鹰回答：“因为了解自己和自己的目标，可以带来比只是一味生活更多的幸福。”
小鸟想了想，然后说：“也许你说得对。我会试着多想想我想要的生活。”
从那天起，这只小鸟开始飞翔，不只是为了好玩，而是带着新的目标感。
