1
Once upon a time, in a busy city,
2
there was an old flour mill at the edge of the market.
3
It was filled with dust,
4
heat, and the heavy sound of stones grinding wheat day and night.
5
Inside that mill lived a donkey,
6
just a tired donkey, who worked.
7
From sunrise to late night,
8
the donkey walked in circles,
9
pulling the millstone again and again.
10
His hooves hit the ground in the same rhythm every day.
11
The master of the mill was a greedy man.
12
He did not care about the donkey's pain or tiredness.
13
He cared only about how fast the stone turned and how much money the sacks of flour could bring.
14
One day, the master noticed something.
15
The donkey was slowing down.
16
Not because he was lazy,
17
but because he was getting older.
18
His breathing was heavier.
19
His steps were weaker.
20
His body could no longer run like it used to.
21
The master became angry.
22
This donkey is not giving me enough anymore, he thought.
23
I need him to work harder.
24
But the master was clever.
25
He knew that beating the donkey more would only make him weaker.
26
So instead, he chose a different weapon.
27
A sweeter weapon.
28
A dangerous weapon.
29
Praise.
30
The next morning, the master came to the mill holding a golden saddle that glittered in the sunlight.
31
The donkey froze when he saw it.
32
It was shiny, smooth, and beautiful.
33
Like something meant for a king,
34
not a tired animal covered in dust.
35
The master walked slowly toward the donkey,
36
smiling like a kind man.
37
My strongest one, he said.
38
My hardest working donkey.
39
The workers looked up.
40
The other donkeys stared.
41
The donkey's ears lifted.
42
The master placed the golden saddle gently on his back and tightened it with care,
43
as if the donkey truly mattered.
44
You are not like the others, the master said.
45
You are special.
46
You are irreplaceable.
47
You are the hero of this mill.
48
The donkey's chest puffed out.
49
His heart felt warm.
50
He had never heard words like this before.
51
He had only known ropes, commands, and tiredness.
52
But now, he felt important.
53
He felt seen.
54
And without realizing it, the donkey believed something that would slowly destroy him.
55
If I work harder, I will be loved.
56
From that day on, the donkey didn't walk in circles like a tired animal.
57
He walked like a proud champion.
58
He worked harder.
59
He pulled faster.
60
He pushed his body beyond its limits.
61
His body begged for rest,
62
but his mind whispered something stronger.
63
You cannot stop.
64
Because heroes don't rest.
65
Heroes don't complain.
66
Heroes don't fall sick.
67
Because he was afraid of losing the golden saddle.
68
Afraid of losing the praise.
69
Afraid of becoming ordinary again.
70
And the mill kept running.
71
Then one day, his fever returned.
72
His legs shook.
73
His vision became blurry.
74
Still, he walked.
75
And walked.
76
Each step felt like stepping on fire.
77
His heart pounded like it wanted to escape his chest.
78
He tried to take another step, but his legs refused.
79
And then, he collapsed.
80
Hard.
81
And died.
82
The master didn't cry.
83
He reached for the golden saddle.
84
He unbuckled it quickly and took it off.
85
And the next day, the master placed the golden saddle on another young donkey.
86
Never let someone's praise become your prison.
87
Some people don't value you as a person.
88
They value you as a machine.
89
They will call you special,
90
irreplaceable, and a hero, not because they love you,
91
but because they want more from you.
92
The moment you break, they won't ask how you are.
93
They will look for someone new.
94
So work hard, yes, but never destroy yourself to prove your worth.
95
Your value is not decided by a golden saddle,
96
a title, or someone's approval.
97
Your life is more precious than any compliment,
98
and your health is more important than any job, relationship, or reward.
99
If you have to bleed to be accepted,
100
then it was never love, it was exploitation.

练习技巧
为提高英语发音并掌握故事的情感，建议使用shadowspeak方法。这种方法能够帮助学习者在听的过程中模仿说话者的语调、速度和情感，从而有效地提高口语表达能力。由于故事的语速适中，您可以边听边模仿。想练习雅思口语时，建议以下几个步骤：
- 首先，认真聆听视频一次，体会故事的情感与基调。
- 接着，暂停视频，逐句进行shadowing。跟着说话者的频率和语调练习，提高英语发音。
- 在练习过程中，注意使用适当的声调和情感，特别是在表达赞美和负面情感时。
- 考虑不同的句子结构，提升口语流畅度，适应各种话题。
通过这种方式，学习者不仅能理解故事背后的深意，还能在实践中提高自己的口语能力，提升雅思口语练习效果。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
