"That's because you stick to what you are．If you're willing to give it up．and let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach your destination," said the desert in its deep voice．

　　The little stream had never heard of such a thing．"Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!" She could not accept this idea．After all, she had never experienced anything like it before．Wouldn't it be self-destruction to give up what she was now?

　　"How do I know if this is true?" asked the little stream.

　　"The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert and release it as rain at an appropriate site．The rain will form a river again to continue its course," answered the desert very patiently．

　　"Will I still be what I am now?" asked the little stream．

　　"Yes, and no．Whether you're a river or invisible vapor, your inner nature never changes． You stick to the fact that you're a river because you don't know your inner nature," answered the desert．

　　Deep down, the stream vaguely remembered that before she became a river, it was perhaps also the breeze that carried her halfway up a high mountain, where she turned into rain and fell onto the ground and became what she was now．Finally the little stream gathered her courage and rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life．
