A young man went to see a wise man, saying that after graduation, he set many goals for himself, but years later he still achieved nothing. With a smile, the wise man said to him, “Come to help me boil(使沸騰) the water first!”

The young man found no f1. in the stove, so he went out for it. He came back with some dead wood, put them in the stove and burned up. B2. because the pot was too large, when the firewood burned out, the water did not boil. Then he ran off to get firewood. When he went back, the water had nearly turned c3. . This time he became smart, so he didn’t light the fire in a hurry, but went out to look for some firewood again. Because the firewood was well p4. , the water boiled pretty soon.

The wise man suddenly asked him, “If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water?” The young man thought for a moment and s 5. his head.The wise man said, “If so, pour out some water!” The young man n 6. thoughtfully. The wise man continued, “You set too many goals at f7. , just as there is too much water but you didn’t have enough firewood, so you couldn't boil the water, and if you wanted to make the water boil, you e8.empty some of the water or prepared some firewood!”

The young man saw the light suddenly. When he went back, he removed many listed goals from his plan, l9.only a few recent ones, while with spare time he studied. A few year later, his goals were realized.

Only by starting from the next goal can you move toward the s10. step by step. If you keep all things by heart, you will only give up halfway.

Two men were sitting together in an airplane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a teacher. The other was a cook.

They sat without talking for a while, then the cook said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”

“What do you want to do?” the teacher asked. “We can ask each other riddles (謎語),” the cook said, “You start.”

“Let’s make the rules first,” the teacher said. “To make the game more interesting, we play it for money. If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”

The cook thought about it and said, “That’s not fair (公平的). You are a teacher, an educated man. You know more things than I do. I am just a cook.”

“That’s true,” the teacher said, “What’s your suggestion?” “If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you need to pay me $100. If I don’t know the answer to a riddle, I’ll pay you $50.” the cook said.

Thinking for a while, the teacher said, “OK. That’s fair. Who’ll go first?”

“I will,” the cook said. “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?”

The teacher repeated the riddle, “What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies? Mm, that’s a good one. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.”

I’ve been thinking about you and me And how our friendship came to be How long ago I hoped that we

Could be Forever Friends

And how I look back on these days

And smile at all the little ways

We made the hard times seem okay

Like true Forever Friends

At times we’d laugh so hard and then We’d catch out breath and start again Cause’ having fun comes easy when You’re with Forever Friends

Together we’ve shared wonderful sights

Like soft spring days and starlight

When all the world seems still and right

With my Forever Friend

And on those days when rain would fall

And life was not much fun at all

You were always there to take my call

A true Forever Friend

Life’s wandering roads may take us far But if we’re apart let each bright star Remind us how blessed we are

To be Forever Friends

And when the stars shine down we’ll see

Perhaps by fate or destiny

A friendship that was meant to be

You and Me

Forever Friends
