Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings and senses, including Love, Happiness, Sadness and Wisdom lived. One day they were told that the island would sink(下沉), so they all got on boats and left except Love.
Love was the only one that stayed until the last possible moment. Finally, Love decided to ask for help.
Wealth was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Wealth, can you take me with you?"
Wealth answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room for you."
Love decided to ask Pride, who was also passing by in a beautiful ship. "Pride, please help me!"
"I can't help you, love. You are all wet and might damage(损坏)my boat," Pride answered.
Sadness was close by, so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh…Love, I'm so sad. How can I take someone else with me?"
Happiness passed by Love too. But she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called out to her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I'll take you." It was an elder. Love was so excited that he forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at the river bank(河岸), the elder went his own way. Love was grateful to the elder, so he asked Wisdom, another elder. "Who helped me?"
"It was Time," Wisdom answered.
"Time?" asked Love.
Wisdom smiled and replied, "Only Time can understand how valuable you are."

The Chinese are very generous with money when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless(不管) of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take after-school activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a great deal of money on education. Even poor parents buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents should know their children's different skills. They will usually be good in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack(缺乏) confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well. They are not teaching them the most important skills that can be helpful to their growth. These skills can also build their confidence.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
An old machine, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious. If he spends hours looking at it, and trying to mend it, your child might become an engineer when he grows up. It is better to do such than teach a child to read a book. These activities can teach them to think, and to use their minds.
