12.A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her.She did not know she was going to make it and wanted to give up.She was tired of fighting and struggling.It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father,a cook,took her to the kitchen.He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.In one he placed carrots,in the second he placed eggs,and in the last he placed coffee beans.He let them boil,without saying a word.
The daughter had no idea what he was trying to do.Half an hour later,he turned down the fire and placed the carrots,eggs and the coffee into different bowls.He asked his daughter,"Darling,what do you see?"
"Carrots,eggs,and coffee."she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.She did and noticed that they were soft.He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell,she observed the hard-boiled egg.Finally,he asked her to sip the coffee.The daughter enjoyed the taste of coffee and smile.
She asked,"What does it mean,F(xiàn)ather?"
He explained,"Each of them had faced the same situation,100degrees of boiling water.However,they had different results.The carrots went in strong and hard.But after going through boiling water,it become soft and weak.The inside of the egg become hardened in the boiling water.It was also changed by the water like the carrots.However,the coffee beans are the most powerful.After they were in the boiling water,they turned the water into tasty coffee."
