📖 英文原文
As I walked along the quiet road, I noticed a small light flickering in the distance. It was not the bright glow of a city, but a soft, warm glow that seemed to call me closer. The light came from a tiny house, which stood alone on the hillside. I had passed it many times before, but never stopped to look. Now, as the sun began to set, the light reminded me that even the smallest things can guide us through darkness. Sometimes, we need only a little light to find our way back home.

当我沿着安静的小路走时，我注意到远处有一盏微弱的灯光。它不是城市的明亮光芒，而是一种柔和温暖的光，似乎在召唤我靠近。这盏灯来自一座小房子，它孤零零地立在山坡上。我以前多次经过这里，但从没停下来仔细看过。现在，当太阳开始下山时，这盏灯让我明白，即使是最小的事物也能引导我们穿越黑暗。有时，我们只需要一点光就能找到回家的路。
