20．
John went to see God after he died．God looked at him，feeling very unhappy，"You've lived in this world for 60years．Why didn't you get any result at all？"
John argued（爭(zhēng)論），"My God，I couldn't become a successful person just because you didn't give me any chance（機(jī)會(huì)）．If you let that magic apple hit on my head，the man who found the law of gravity（萬(wàn)有引力）should be me．"
God said，"OK，let's try again．"
God waved（揮動(dòng)） his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago．
God shook（搖） the apple tree for the first time，when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John's head．John picked up the apple，wiped it and ate it up quickly．God dropped another bigger apple on John's head and John ate it up once again．God shook the apple tree for the third time，when a much bigger apple fell on John's head．John got angry，picked up the apple，threw it out heavily．Then he shouted angrily："The apple annoyed（打攪） my sweet dream!What a bad luck!"
The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton's head．Newton awoke and picked up the apple．After a long time of thinking，he discovered the law of gravity at last．
The time returned once again now．
God said to John，"John，do you understand it now？"John asked，"My God，please give me another chance…I will …"God shook his head and said，"No．The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same，but each person's ability（能力） to catch the chance is different．"
