【解析】

本文是一个小故事。一个出生在富裕家庭的男孩有很多坏习惯。他父亲很担心。他请一位老师劝他儿子远离那些坏习惯。老师带这个男孩在花园里慢慢地走。这个老师让这个男孩去拔花园里的小植物。这个男孩很容易地把它拔了出来。然后让他拔出一棵大一点的植物。男孩使劲拔，也拔出来了。这个老人又让他拔一棵小树。这个男孩不得不用尽全力把树拔出来。

最后这个老人让他拔一棵大树。但是这个男孩不能把它拔出来。 “这是不可能的，”这个男孩努力地穿着粗气说。老师说：“他们都是坏习惯。当他们小的时候，很容易把他们拔出来，但长大后就不能把它拔出来了。”老人的话改变了男孩的生活。这个故事告诉我们：不要等待坏习惯在你身上成长。在你能控制的时候改掉他们，否则它们会控制你。
