Joe and his
wife moved to a new farm with their three sons. A nearby farmer told Joe that
there was gold in the soil of his new land. Joe believed and told his sons
about it.
His sons
actually began digging for gold in the land. Once they finished one piece they
would start another. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun!
Seeing that, Joe thought he would plant some crops where the dirt had been
turned thoroughly. He planted com, tomatoes, and potatoes. His sons continued
to dig through the soil, determined to find gold.
As each
different crop became ready to be harvested, Joe started to realize that there
was more than he and his family could ever eat. One of Joe 's neighbors
suggested that he set up a vegetable stand. Joe and his wife did that very
thing. This process went on for three years and Joe and his wife became quite rich
from it. They were even able to send their sons off to college.
Remember at
the beginning of the story Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold
in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe' s understanding of the English language
was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually told him that his land
had rich soil.
Go out and
believe that there is gold in all your challenges so that you can be inspired
to pursue(追求)all that you
need. The fate will never give up on you, if you never give up on yourself.
