My father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, we used to talk much with each other. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain." I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing time. It gave me chance to talk with my father. If we didn't climb the mountain, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I learned much from him. And it also gave me chance to think more carefully. What more, I learned to keep doing something or waiting for it for a along time.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so hard for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing; but as time passed, I got an ache in both of my legs. I wanted to give up climbing. In fact, I hated it at that time, but my father said to me "You can always see a beautiful sky at the highest place of the mountain, but you can't see it before you get there. Only there, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the highest place of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, and it was as clear as crystal(水晶).

Then, you should know the best skipping stone is flat, thin and small enough to hold in one hand. But now scientists say a heavier one, but no heavier than a tennis ball, is also good. That's because. . . When a heavier stone hits the water, a bigger part of it goes under the water so it gets a stronger push from the water. *Top tips: 1 Find the right stone.
3 Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. Don't throw hard. Instead, try to throw the stone quickly. 4 The best angle(角度) to skip the stone is 20 degrees.
Hold the stone between your thumb and middle finger. Put your pointer finger around the edge(边缘) of the stone. *The biggest number of skips of a stone on the water is 88. |
