The driver tried to drive the van back, but he couldn't move it. The men passing by tried to help him move the van out of the bridge. They pushed(推)and pushed ,but they could not move the van back.

The driver telephoned a garage(修理厂) and, a few minutes later, a truck gothere from the garage. The man from the truck tied(拴) the van to the truck. Then he tried to use the truck to pull(拉) the van out. The truck pulled, and the men pushed, but the van did not move at all.

The men got very tired and stopped pushing. Other people were angry because they could not move their cars. No one knew what to do. Then a little girl had an idea. She pulled the truck driver's armand wanted to say something to him. The truck driver did not notice(注意)her, but the girl pulled his arm again. This time the truck driver listened, and the little girl said something in his ear.

There was a smile on the truck driver's face. He nodded(点头) when he was listening to the girl's words. He went to the van and pressed(按压) the mouths on the van's tyres(轮胎),The air came out and the van began to come down. Then the van's driver drove the van out easily.

Joe was a farmer. He didn't have a good harvest(丰收) for years.

"If God let me control(控制) the weather, everything would get 1 ," he complained(抱怨), "I know better than God does because I am a clever farmer."

God heard his words. "Well, I will give you one year," God replied. "You will be in charge of the weather. Let's see what your crops will grow like."

Joe was so surprised that he couldn't 2 what he heard. But he still wanted to have a try. He shouted, "Sunny!" Suddenly the clouds went away.

He tried again, "Rain!" The sky became cloud y right away and heavy rain poured down. In the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and 3 . Watching his crops growing bigger and bigger, he felt satisfied. When the harvest season came, he carried his basket and sickle(镰刀) to the field, looking forward to a big harvest(收获). But his heart sank(下沉) to the 4 when he found his strong crops had not grow n any grain at all. Puzzled and 5 , he started crying. Once again, God heard him.

"Don't you have your wish to control the weather?" God asked. "Yes, but I just don't understand. I have given them what they 6 . How could it be?" Joe wondered. "That's because you 7 asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots(根) stronger. 8 strong roots, of course they won't grow any fruit." After he knew the 9 , he asked God to take back the power.

It turned out that only through life's challenges(挑战) would we harvest the 10 of life.
