One day, the young man took a walk with a 1 man from the town. On the way the young man was bragging(吹嘘) about himself, 2 the wise man didn't say a word. When they3 a peak(山峰), the wise man asked, "Look down. What do you see?"
"I see trees, houses and people as 4 as ants working in the fields," the young man said.
"What do you feel?" the wise man asked.
"Everything is 5 me. I feel I rule the world," the young man answered.
The wise man said nothing. After a minute, he asked the young man to look 6 "What do you see this time?" the wise man asked.
"I see 7flying around high mountains, the white clouds on the mountains and the blue sky above the white clouds," the young man answered.
Then he asked the wise man's 8.
"I feel small and powerless," the wise man answered. "A person who knows to look upward can 9 understand his position(位置). When a person knows the blue sky is always overhead, he won't be so luck as to believe he rules the world."
The young man felt foolish for his pride. From then on, he looked up at the sky and remembered 10 small he really was.
Try to look upward when you feel too good about yourself.
