An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his book. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the book just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?"
一位農(nóng)民和他的孫子一起住在山上的農(nóng)場(chǎng)里。每天早上，爺爺很早就起來(lái)了，坐在餐桌旁讀他的書(shū)。一天孫子問(wèn)：“爺爺，我想跟你一樣讀這本書(shū)，但我讀不懂，我能理解但只要一合上書(shū)本我就忘記了。那讀這本書(shū)還有什么用呢？”
The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."
爺爺把煤放在爐子里靜靜的說(shuō)，“把這籃子煤提到河邊，打一籃子水回來(lái)。”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"
小男孩照著爺爺說(shuō)的做，但是在他回來(lái)之前所有的水都漏了。爺爺大笑說(shuō)：“你下次要
速度快一點(diǎn)。”然后送他回河邊再試一次。這次小男孩跑快了一些，但是再他回到家之前籃子仍然都空了，他換成了水桶。爺爺說(shuō)：“我不是要一桶水，我是要一籃子水。你剛剛還不夠努力。”爺爺出來(lái)再看看小男孩。這個(gè)時(shí)候，小男孩才反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)這是不可能的，但是他又想表現(xiàn)給爺爺看，只要他跑的足夠的快，就能在回來(lái)之前還有水。小男孩再次把籃子放在河里裝水，然后快速奔跑，但是在他到爺爺那里的時(shí)候籃子又空了。他急踹氣說(shuō)：“爺爺你看，都是無(wú)用功哎?！?/div>
"So you think it is useless?" the old man said, "Look at the basket." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.
爺爺問(wèn)：“所以覺(jué)得這沒(méi)用？看看籃子?！蹦泻⒖粗@子，第一次意識(shí)到籃子如此不同。從最先開(kāi)始裝煤的破舊不堪到現(xiàn)在里里外外都干干凈凈。
Son, that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed,inside and out!!!
孩子，這就是你在讀書(shū)的時(shí)候所發(fā)生的。你可能讀不懂或者記不住書(shū)的內(nèi)容，但是當(dāng)你讀了，你就會(huì)從內(nèi)心到外表都會(huì)有所改變。
