Birds in a cage
A young siskin asked the old one;
Why are you so sad ?
Here in cage you live better than in countryside.
You're born here, said the old one
I'll explain you why...
I've been free once, now in cage
And that's why I cry.
( translated by me ;-)
And professional translation
Birds in a Cage
"Why do you weep?" inquired the young siskin of the old,
"You're more comfortable in this cage than out in the cold."
"You were born caged," said the elder, "this was your morrow;
"I was free, now I'm caged — hence the cause of my sorrow."
(translated by Christopher Kasparek)
The Little Prince
"People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for..."
"They don't find it," I answered.
"And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."
"Of course," I answered.
And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart."

New word
Gaman is a Japanese word to describe the concept of enduring pain. In Japan, it is considered a certain strength to be able to withstand uncomfortable situations. To not complain is the key to surviving modern life..I really should try that
“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension...”
