A king offered a prize to the artist would paint the most impressive picture of peace. The (compete) was heated as many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures, of which only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake (perfect) reflecting towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds.
What the king (see) in the other picture were bare mountains, and above was an angry sky, from which rain fell (constant). Down the side of the mountain tumbled(翻滚) a huge waterfall, which did not look (peace) at all. Looking closely, the king saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a rock. In the bush bird had built her nest. There, in the middle of the rush of angry water, sat the bird on her nest - in perfect peace.
All who saw this picture thought that the first picture was better, the king preferred the second one. "Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means (be) in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real (significant) of peace."
