An old farmer lived with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was always up early to read. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! What good does reading do?"
Grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water."
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out(漏出) before he got back home. Grandpa laughed, "You'll have to move a little faster next time." This time the boy ran faster, but again the same took place. It was an impossible task.
The old man said, "You're just not trying hard enough." So the boy tried a third time and failed. He said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"
"So you think it is useless? Look at the basket."
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had turned from a dirty coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.
"You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read, you will be changed, inside and outside."

Hello, my name is Sabrina. I was around lightning while taking a hike in the Grand Canyon, but I was safe because I knew the following tips.
Outdoors If there is a thunderstorm(雷雨), try to find a low place to stay in until the storm is over. You can also go into a nearby building or a car. Make sure that the windows of it are closed. Do not stand under a tree or use the umbrella with metal things. If the lightning is around you, do a" lightning couch"! Squat down(蹲下) with your heels(脚 后跟) together and put your hands over your ears. Remember not to lie down. |
Indoors During a thunderstorm, stay away from anything that is made of metal such as TVs, refrigerators because lightning can come into the house through wires(电线). When there is a thunderstorm outside, don't stand near the windows. And don't take a bath when there is a thunderstorm. Never use the phone during a thunderstorm, because lightning can hit the phone line and travel through the line and hit you. |
