Try, Try Again

   There was a king whose name was TamerlaneHe wanted to become the king of the whole worldSo he started wars against other countriesHe got many cities, but at last his army was beatenTamerlane left his own country

   For a long time he moved from place to placeHis enemies(敌人)were looking for himHe was about to lose all hope

   One day he was lying under a tree, thinking about his lifeSuddenly he saw a small thing climbing up the treeHe looked more closely and saw that it was an antThe ant was carrying a grain(一粒)of wheat as large as itself

   As Tamerlane looked, he saw that there was a hole in the treeThat was the home for the ant

“You are brave, Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you have a heavy thing to carry

   Just as he spoke, the ant couldn’t hold onto the tree and fell to the groundA second time it still tried to carry its food up the tree, and a second time it failed

   Tamerlane watched the brave little antIt tried three times, four times, a dozen times, twenty times—but always with the same result

   Then it tried the twenty—first timeSlowly, one little step at a time, it climbed up safely into its home with its food

   “Well done!” said Tamerlane “You have taught me a lessonI, too, will try and try again until I succeed
