Many years ago, there
was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and
look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first, son went in winter, the second in spring,
the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.
When the sons came back,
the old man asked them to say what they had seen.
The first son complained
the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full
of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. The youngest son
said that the tree, bent down with heavy fruits.
The old man explained
that all of his sons were right, but each of them had seen just one season of
the tree, He told them that they couldn't judge a tree or a person by only one
season. "If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the hope of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, and the harvest of your autumn." said the old
man.
It is true that we
shouldn't let the hard season break the happiness of other seasons. Never give
up during the difficult days and better times are sure to come some day.
