There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to  21   things too quickly. So he sent them each on a search, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was far away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the  22   son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to  23   what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was  24  , bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was  25   with green buds(蓓蕾) and full of promise. The third son  26  ; he said it was laden with flowers that  27   so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had  28   seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was  29   and drooping(下垂的) with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then  30   to his sons that they were all  31  , because they had each seen  32   only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured  33  , when all the seasons are up.

If you  34   when it's winter, you will miss the  35   of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
