All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. But it is different from living on farms however.

In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each family lives on its own fields and often can't see any neighbor. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning. American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on horses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas there are some small schools serving a few families and the children walk to school.

Of course, life keeps changing for everyone including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and TV sets. And of course, there are modern machines for faming now. All these have greatly changed farmers’ life.

Before, farming in America was often a lonely way of living for a long time. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new ways, and thought of their own ideas instead of following old ways.

A little boy was playing in his sandbox on a Saturday morning. While he was building roads and houses in the soft sand, he discovered a large stone in the middle of the sandbox.

The little boy pushed and pulled, but every time he thought he had made some progress, the tone tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy tried his best, but his only reward(奖赏) was to have the stone fall back.

Finally the boy cried. All that time the boy's father watched him from his living room window. At the moment tears fell, his father came to the boy and the sandbox. Gently but surely he said, "Son, why didn't you use all the strength that you had?" The boy said sadly, "But I did, daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had!" "No, son, you didn't ask me."
