drift, apply, excess, stern, anxious, share, abolish

从前，一根漂流（drift）的智慧老木头坐在海边。它看着海浪施加（apply）它们自己于海岸，从不过度（excess），总是刚刚好。这根木头从不焦虑（anxious）于它的位置，知道它可以分享（share）它的故事给沙子。它甚至想到潮水将如何废除（abolish）留下的脚印，为新的脚印腾出空间。它沉思道，生活是一个温和的循环，而不是一场疯狂的竞赛。

Once, a wise old driftwood log sat by the sea. It watched the waves apply themselves to the shore, never in excess, always just right. The log was never anxious about its place, knowing it could share its stories with the sand. It even thought about how the tides would abolish the footprints left behind, making way for new ones. Life, it mused, was a gentle cycle, not a frantic race.
