A man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.

    It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second­highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.

    Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.

    Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, "Why don't you go to school?" The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.

    Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, "When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral said they were sorry, but no one helped." He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.

    Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy's school fees.

    Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.

    Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.

    Ayub said," I used to argue with kids who worked ' Why are you washing someone's dishes or their clothes? Why don't you study? ' "

    One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. "He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school, "Abbas said.

    Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.

    Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education. Information gathered by an organization shows half of all Pakistani children in the 5th grade do not understand basic mathematics and cannot read a story in their language.

    A group in Islamabad reports Pakistan spends less on education than any other country in South Asia.

    One day, a fisherman caught a golden fish.” People let me go,” the golden fish said.” I will give you whatever you want.”

    “Thank you, but I don't want anything.” the fisherman said. He put the golden fish back into the sea.But the fisherman's wife was angry.” You should ask for a bigger wooden basin!” she shouted. The fisherman went to the seaside and told the golden fish.

    “Don't worry, she has a new basin now.” the golden fish said.

    The fisherman went home. But his wife was even angrier. “I want a large house!” The fisherman went to tell the golden fish again.

    But the old woman was never satisfied. “I want to be the queen of the sea! And I want the golden fish to serve me!”

    The fisherman went to tell the golden fish. Then golden fish swan away without saying anything. Then fisherman walked back. His wife was in her cold clothes. Her old and broken wooden basin was next to her.

    A year ago I paid no attention to English idioms though my teacher said again and again that it was important.

    One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner shook his head, saying, "You don't say! You don't say!" I was surprised. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. Well, I'd better change the topic. So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?"

    "Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at mc if I leave China without seeing it. It was great."

    I said, "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. It is a place of interest. "Soon I was interrupted again by his words, "          "

    I couldn't help. "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn't ask you to do so," he answered, gently surprised.

    I said, "Didn't you say' You don't say!'?"

    Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to shout, "'You don't say!' actually means 'Really?'. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms."

    Then I knew I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idioms.

In their last moment before the flight took off, I heard a father saying to his daughter, " I loveyou, I wish you enough. "

The daughter said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough to. " They kissed goodbye and the daughter left. I could see the father was very sad. 

Suddenly the father walked towards me and asked me, "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be the last time?"

His words made me think of my father. Realizing that my father's days were limited(有限的)，I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I understood what this father was experiencing. 

" Yes, I did. " I answered, " But why is this a last goodbye?"

" I am old and my daughter lives much too faraway. Maybe her next trip back will be for my funeral (葬礼)，" he said. 

" When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say 'I wish you enough'. What does that mean?"

He began to smile. "my parents used to say it tome. When we say 'I wish you enough' ，we want the other person to have a life filled with enough good things. " He stopped for a moment and continued, "I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate (欣赏. 感激) the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to

keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life seem much bigger… I wish you enough

'Hellos' to get you through the final ' Goodbye'". 

He then said goodbye to me and walked away.
