| In the United States, I have a close friend named Jim Forest. When I first 1 him eight years ago, and we have a good time together. Last winter, Jim came to 2 . I usually wash the dishes after we've finished our 3 , before sitting down and drinking tea with everyone else. One night, Jim asked if he might do the dishes. I said, " 4 , but if you wash the dishes you must know the 5 to wash them." Jim replied, "Come on, you think I don't know how to wash the dishes?" I 6 , "There are two ways to wash the dishes. The first is to wash the dishes in order to have clean dishes 7 the second is to wash the dishes to wash the dishes." Jim was delighted and said, "I 8 the second way - to wash the dishes to wash the dishes." From then on, Jim knew how to wash the dishes. I 9 the "responsibility" to him for an entire week. While washing dishes, 10 we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus 11 to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a(n) 12 , then we are not "washing the dishes to wash the dishes." What's more, we are not 13 during the time we are washing the dishes. 14 , we are completely incapable of 15 the miracle of life while standing at the sink. If we can't wash the dishes, the chances are we won't be 16 to drink our tea either. While drinking the cup of tea, we will only be thinking of other things, barely 17 of the cup in our hands. Thus we are sucked away into the 18 and we are incapable of actually 19 one minute of life. Try to wash the dishes the next time you wash the dishes, when your mind is 20 but on the dishes. | ||||
