      ①他是个普通的石匠，那天，接到一桩大买卖。邻村的财主要用汉白玉为去世的母亲雕座真人像，放在园子里，天天看着。
      ②第一次听到消息时，他不敢相信这样的好运会落在自己身上。一个石匠能雕刻玉石，应该说身价上了一个台阶。他知道这是一次机会，如果真的完成了这座人像，那么他就可以在石像上刻上自己的名字。那时，他就是石匠行当里数一数二的人物了，再也不会雕那些石碑石人石马，摆在自家门前，等人来收购，然后送到墓地，过着清贫的日子。因为那时，他应该是位大师了。
      ③他认真地做着准备工作。先将所有的工具磨了一遍，然后将自己关了三天三夜，只看财主母亲的一幅画像，那画像似乎是女人年轻时候的，看上去很漂亮。石匠将那女人的相貌记在了心里。
      ④当他做好一切准备工作，来到财主家，第一眼看见那块汉白玉的时候，就已经按人体的比例位置，将那块漂亮的汉白玉给划分了，包括他的名字刻在哪里。他给自己的名字找了三个地方，一是在人像裙子的下摆处，二是在人像的袖口处，还有就是在人像的背后。
      ⑤石匠构思好了便开始干活。一个月过去，人像完成了。财主来看的时候叫了起来：“你这刻的不是我母亲！”石匠找出财主母亲的画像，对比着看了起来。看着看着也觉出不像，但他没说，只是拿着画像给财主看。可财主却不看画像，冲着石匠说：“你现在雕的只是像我母亲，而不是我母亲。如果你只能做成跟这幅画一样，那我要你来雕什么？我有这幅画就行了。”说着，财主指着人像的袖口处说：“这是什么？你的名字？这画上有吗？我跟你说，你要雕得不好，这汉白玉的钱你出！”说完扬长而去。
      ⑥石匠傻了眼，他没想到会是这样的结局。没赚到钱还要赔钱，要是传出去，在这个行当里就没法混了。石匠坐在人像前，目光呆呆地看着他亲手雕出来的人像，不知道怎么办才好。时间一点点过去了，月光洒落在人像上，映衬出汉白玉的洁白。石匠透过月光看见汉白玉发散出一片金光，在那金光里他看见了离世多年的母亲，正满含愁苦却不失慈祥地看着他。石匠，多年没看见母亲了，他想起母亲带给他的温暖，以及在他年少时母亲给他的关爱。这个时候，他突然想扑进母亲的怀里，再一次感受母亲给他的爱。他扑了上去，摸到的却是冰冷的石头，石匠的眼泪一下子流了出来。
      ⑦石匠又在雕刻那座人像了，一个月过去了，没有完工。两个月过去了，还是没有完工。财主派人来看了几次，回去报告说还没有完工。整整十个月，石匠每天对着汉白玉慢慢地雕刻着，汉白玉是越来越鲜活，而石匠却是日渐消瘦。
      ⑧十个月后，财主再次看见人像的时候，一下子跪倒在人像前，失声痛哭起来。跟来的家丁们也一下子肃然起敬，眼前的人像就是他们当年的老夫人。
      ⑨一个管家模样的人绕着人像转了几圈后，轻轻地走到石匠面前说：“你还没刻上你的名字。”
      ⑩石匠看了看天空，淡淡地说：“这么洁白的人像上为什么 要刻我的名字？”说完，他停了一会儿，似乎在思考什么，然后对那个人说：“我好像忘了我的名字，你能告诉我吗？”
      ⑪那人一下子弯下了腰，轻声地说：“你的名字叫大师。”

    “My wife of 24 years, Marie Roberts, was raised in New York City, worked in the fashion industry, and never got her hands dirty,” said Keith Roberts. “Then, nine years ago, I wanted to move to Florida and reconnect to my country life, but how would I inspire（激发）the same feeling in, well, a city woman? I brought her a two-month-old potbellied pig.”

    At first sight, Marie, then 46, was smitten. So soon she took in another abandoned（遗弃）pig. And thus began Sugarloaf Mountain Farm, her animal shelter in central Florida. With the couple's two children grown up, these animals would now be Marie's babies.

    The Farm now has 300 rescues, from alpacas to donkeys, each with its own story. “A gentleman had a litter of eight pigs, and all but one died,” says Marie. “She weighed one pound and suffered great pain. For three weeks straight, I fed that baby every hour, day and night, seldom sleeping.” Till now, Marie still gets five to ten requests a day to save animals and has to turn most down. “If she can't rescue the animal, she works with that person to find a solution,” Keith says. “She's not only saving animals; above all, she's giving their owners peace of mind.”

    “A woman called from her nursing home,” Marie remembers. “Her pigs would be abandoned if she couldn't find a suitable home. 'I only have a few months, and I need to know that they'll be safe,' she said.” So Marie drove three hours and got them. Soon after, Marie received a note from the woman's daughter. “Dear Marie,” she wrote. “My mom went peacefully, as she went knowing that they are forever loved. Thank you for being Mom's angel.”

    “She is a ball of energy,” Keith adds. “A few times she's gone so far in some situations, like when she locked herself in the chicken coop（鸡舍）. I found her sitting in it with ten chicks nestled in her lap.” That is exactly what you'd expect from a true mother hen.
