Corky was a brave young man and he dreamed of becoming the best fighter in the world.

To become stronger and get better fighting skills, he went to many schools. One day, he went to the best school in the world. Before entering the gate, he was made to hand in all his weapons (武器).

“You won’t need those any more. Here you’ll get better ones,” said the guard. Corky handed his weapons to him. A serious old teacher took Corky to his room. Before he left, he said to Corky, “In a hundred days the training will start.” A hundred days! At first Corky thought that was a joke, but he soon realized the old teacher had been serious. Corky felt nervous during the first days and he tried many ways to try to get the teacher to start the training. However, it didn’t work. At last Corky waited patiently and enjoyed each day in the school.

“You’ve already learned how to use your main weapon – patience,” said the old teacher. Corky could hardly believe it, but he really understood that the teacher was right. Finally, the lesson began. “Now it’s time to learn how to win every fight,” said the old teacher. That sounded good to Corky until he found himself tied hand and foot. Many villagers tried to hit him because they were told that Corky was a dangerous man. The same thing was repeated for days, and Corky knew he had to do something. He realized that the only way would be to deal with the villagers’ anger (怒气). In the following days, Corky kept talking to them until he managed to make them believe that he was not an enemy.

Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over-confident. They think they can do e 1. . So they simply ignore(忽视) their old parents, and believe that their parents’ experienced thoughts are out of date. Actually I used to be one of them, but after h 2. a story told by my father, I changed my mind completely. Now I would like to s 3. it with all of you.

Once, there’s a young man w 4. looked down on the old. He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻烦事) in your busy life, a useless life that was going to be over. He also did this to his father. One day, the father and the son happened to meet each other in the garden. The son suggested that they should take a walk t __5._ . As they walked, a beautiful garden came into their sight. The son pointed to one of the prettiest flower and said, “We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit. What about you oldsters? Just l 6. the falling leaves from a dying tree.”

Hearing this, the father smiled but said nothing. They continued the walking in s 7. . When they passed a shop, the father stopped and went in, he bought a walnut(核桃)and showed it to his son, slow and kind, he said, “We old are like this walnut. We’ve experienced many hard events in life. So we built up such a strong shell, and at the same time we also built up a pure inner world. Every fruit is so full-grown.”

“But every fruit was born by f _8.__.” Refuted(反驳) the son.

“Yes, but not every flower can bear fruit….”

From then on, I always keep this story in my m 9. . It has taught me a lot.

We should try to be a flower that can bear fruit. We also have to know that our parents aren’t nuisances, b 10. experienced walnuts, works of nature.
