One day while Lu Ban and his younger sister were visiting the West Lake in Hangzhou，they were caught in a sudden heavy rain and had to turn back．"What a pity，" thought sister Lu．

When they got home，she told her brother，"You are the best craftsman around here，trot I will make a bet with you．Let's see who can invent something that will let people enjoy the scenery even in the rain．"

Lu Ban laughed．"All right．" he said，"But there must be a time limit．Three days?"

"No，just one night．We start tonight and stop at the first cook's crow．"

Lu Ban was surprised，"All right，it's a bet．"

When it turned dark，Lu Ban started building a pavilion （亭子） at the lakeside．Under the pavilion，people would be able to enjoy the scenery，even in wet weather．When he finished，he went home and looked through the window of his sister's workshop．All was quiet inside．

Lu Ban went back and built another pavilion，then another，and still another．He built nine and started working on the tenth，but before he could finish，he heard a cock crowing，so he stopped．

Soon the sun rose．As he stood by one of the pavilions wondering what his sister had done，Lu Ban saw something coming towards him，something like the roof of a pavilion．Under it was his sister．

As she came nearer。Lu Ban saw that she was holding a bamboo pole（竹竿） which had something round and flat（平的）at one end and covered with silk of many colors．

“What a useful thing! How clever!” he cried out，examining his sister’s invention．

Sister Lu smiled．“Mine can only be used by a single person, while yours can he used by many at the same time．What’s more，it was your design that gave me the idea．The scenery looks so much nicer with your pavilions．”

Some people say that was the beginning of the Hangzhou umbrella．

1．He was visiting the West Lake when it began to rain．

2．The word “craftsman” means“發(fā)明家”in Chinese．

3．Lu Ban built nine pavilions．

4．Lu Ban invented the same thing as his sister．

5．It is said people in Hangzhou learned to make an umbrella，following sister Lu's idea．

How often does one hear children wishing they were grown ups, and the old wishing they were young again? Each are has its pleasure and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without washing any time in useless regrets （悔恨）．

Childhood is a time when there are few duties to make life hard．If a child has good parents，he is fed，looked after，and loved whatever he may do．It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return．Also，life is always giving new things to the child．A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow．His first visit to the seaside makes him wild．But a child has his pains  he is not free to do things as he wishes．He is always being told not to do this，not to do that，or being punished （懲罰） for what he has done wrong．So his life is not quite happy．

When the young man starts to make his own living he becomes，free from the discipline （約束） of schools and parents．But at the same time he is made to accept duties．He can no longer expect others to pay for his food，his clothes and his room，but has to work if he wants to live comfortably．If he spends most of his time pitying about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry．And if he breaks the law of the society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may go m prison （監(jiān)獄）．If，however，he works hard，keeps out of trouble，and in good health，he can have the great happiness of seeing himself do better in his job and building up his own place in the society．Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be in，but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy．Old age should come with wisdom and the ability to help others．They can have the joy of seeing their children doing better in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and，perhaps，best of all，they can，if their life has been a useful one，feel the happiness of having come through the fight of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest，leaving others to go on with the fight．
