Question

【題目】A young man went to a gemologist (寶石學(xué)家) and said he wanted to be one like him.

The gemologist didn’t want to teach the young man because he thought the young man have no patience (耐心). The young man asked for a chance. Finally the expert had to agree.

The next morning, the gemologist put a jade (玉) stone in the young man’s hand and told him, “Hold it!” The expert then went about his work: cutting, weighing, and making. The big boy felt a bit strange (奇怪的), but he said nothing. He just sat quietly and waited.

The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the young man’s hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth, and fifth day the young man did the same job.

One morning, the gemologist came and asked him to hold out his hand, he couldn’t go on any longer. But just as the gemologist put the stone in his hand, he said loudly,“This is not the same jade stone!”
