They may be interested in the trees or the rocks, Perhaps they are interested in looking at the birds or the various animals that lodge in the forest or the park. Certainly park land is ideal for hiking.

Some people look at hiking as having two major benefits. When asked why they go hiking in their spare time many people will combine these reasons: It helps me relax; it doesn’t take a great investment of money for equipment. For them, a good pair of shoes and some comfortable clothes can help them get away from work or other stressful situations that may arise in life. In many cases, these hikers can enjoy their favorite pastime all year long. They may be able to take those outdoor walks in almost any weather. It’s safe to say that hiking can heal and please the human being in many ways.

This story began when I was a child. I was born in     46   . Often we hadn’t enough to eat. When never we had some food, Mother often give me  her portion. While she was putting her rice into my bowl, she would say, “Eat this rice, son! I’m not   47   .”

As I grew, Mother her    48   her spare time to    49  in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more     50  for my growth. Once she caught just two fish, she made fish soup. While I was eating the soup, Mother sat beside me and ate what was still kept on the    51   of the fish I had eaten. My heart was       52   when I saw it. So I gave the other fish to her but she immediately   53  it and said, “I don’t  54    like fish.”

Then, in order to pay for my    55    , Mother went to a match factory. This helped her get some money to cover my school fees. One wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight.    56   I said, “Mother, go to sleep; it’s late; you can     57  working tomorrow.” Mother smiled and said, “Go to sleep, son! I’m not      58     .”

When I had to sit my final examination, mother accompanied me. Mother    59    for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to    60   her. Mother give me a glass of tea that she had    61   . The tea was not as    62   as Mother’s love. Seeing Mother covered with sweat, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to   63  too. Mother said, “I’m not thirsty!”.

Now , I’m an employer and my     64   now is to work hard and to repay my mother for all the    65    that she gave me.
