An old farmer lived with his little grandson. Every day the farmer got up early to read books.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I want to read books just like you, but I don't understand them. What are the advantages of reading?" The grandfather said, "Take this little basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did so, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to walk faster next time."

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"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 he realized that the basket was different. It was clean, inside and out.

"That's what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read them, you will be changed, inside and out."

I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad to transfer some money (转账). I ask him, “Dad, why not use online banking?”

“Why would I do that?” He replied.

“Well, then you won’t have to spend an hour here to transfer your money. You can also do your shopping online. Everything will be easier!” I said in excitement. He asked, “If I do that, Iwon’t have to go out of the house?”

“Yes!” I said. I told him how groceries (杂货) can be delivered to our doors now. And we can buy everything we need by just staying at home.

However, he said, “Since I walked into this bank today, I have met four of my friends. I have much free time, so I like to come to the bank and meet different people. Two years ago, when I was in hospital, the store owner from whom I bought fruit came to see me. And when your mom fell down a few days ago, the bank manager saw her and helped her get to the hospital.”

He went on, “why would I want to look at my computer all the time? I like to know the person around me. Does Amazon send bonds (情感纽带) and relationships, too?”

I didn’t know what to say after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course. It's better for us to spend time with real people than computers.
