Today was not a good day. Everything went wrong. First, I slept late and Mom shouted at me to wake up. When I went to the kitchen for breakfast, there was no cereal. I decided to have some toast instead, but I burned it. I had to eat it anyway because there was no more bread. The juice bottle was empty, so I had a glass of cold water.
When I was getting on a bus, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet, so I had to go back home to get it.
Of course, I missed the bus and had to wait for the next.
I was late for school and the teacher told me to stay in the classroom at lunchtime to catch up on(弥补) the school work I had missed. After lunch, it was time to give the teacher our homework. I reached into my bag to get it, but it wasn’t there. I had left it at home. I was in trouble again.
When I got home, I went straight to my room to catch up on my homework. Mom cooked fish for dinner. She knows I don’t like fish, but she thinks it is good for her son. How terrible! I hope tomorrow will be better.

An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the   16   got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita(薄迦梵歌).

    One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the book like you   17   I can’t understand it, and I forget it easily. What’s the   18   of reading it?”

   The grandfather said, “Take this coal(煤炭) basket down to the   19   and bring me back a basket of water.”

   The boy did as his grandfather   20   ,but all the water ran   21   he got home. The grandfather laughed, “You’ll have to move faster next time.”

   This time the boy   22   faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was   23   to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, “I just want a basket of water. You’re not   24   hard enough.”

   The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the   25   into the river and ran hard. But there wasn’t anything in it again. He said   26   ,“Look, grandpa, it’s useless!”

   “Watch the basket.” said the grandfather.

   For the first time the boy   27   the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into a   28   one, inside and out.

   “Boy, you might not understand or remember   29   when you read the book, but when you read it, you will be   30   ,inside and out. That’s what you got from it.”
