I was fat at that time and Dad held me for a long time. He almost fell down many times. I tried to get down and walk myself, but I couldn't do anything because I was just a little kid.

A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom of life.
"Excuse me! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Is it the day we were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?" the young man asked.
