很久以前，在一个宁静祥和的村庄里，住着一对善良勤劳的夫妇。他们日出而作，日落而息，生活虽然清贫，却充满温馨。他们常常互相鼓励，说："只要我们齐心协力，一定会吉祥如意。"一天，村里发生了洪水，许多人家被淹没了，他们的家也被洪水冲毁了。但是，他们并没有灰心丧气，而是互相帮助，重建家园。在大家的共同努力下，村庄很快恢复了生机。他们家的生活也越来越好，他们更加坚信，只要坚持努力，就会吉祥如意。
Long ago, in a peaceful village, lived a kind and hardworking couple. They worked from sunrise to sunset, and although their life was simple, it was full of warmth. They often encouraged each other, saying: "As long as we work together, we will be happy and content." One day, a flood struck the village, and many houses were flooded. Their house was also destroyed by the flood. However, they were not discouraged, but helped each other to rebuild their homes. With everyone's joint efforts, the village quickly regained its vitality. Their life became better and better, and they became more convinced that as long as they persisted in their efforts, they would be happy and content.
