One picture was of a calm(平静的) lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged(崎岖的) and bare(无遮蔽的).
Above was an angry sky, And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush(矮树丛)growing in a crack(裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest(巢,窝), There, she sat on her nest ... in perfect peace.
