[originaltext] Narcissus, a handsome young man, was walking through the wood

Narcissus, a handsome young man, was walking through the woods one day when he heard a girl named Echo walking nearby. She had seen him before and fallen in love with him. But Echo could only repeat what someone else said to her. So when Narcissus asked, "Who’s there? ’ Echo could only reply, "There. ""Come here," called Narcissus. "Here" was the reply. When Echo finally appeared and tried to embrace Narcissus, he pushed her roughly aside, telling her not to bother him. This young man treated many other young women the same way because he felt that none was good enough for him. Soon the girlshoped that someone would treat Narcissus in the same way that he treated them.
    One day, while looking in a pool of water, Narcissus saw his reflection. Believing it was that of a beautiful young woman, he fell in love with it and tried to hug it. His love, however, disappeared. He waited in the hope that "she" would return, and, of course, "she" did. Day after day he came to the pool, trying to get the beautiful woman to come out of the water. He got thinner and thinner, sadder and sadder, until finally he died at the side of the pool. When the girls came to remove his body from the pool, they found only a beautiful flower with white and yellow petals (花瓣) . Ever since it has been known as the Narcissus.
