Mike was a good and well-trained boy. His parents loved him very much. He did everything well,but Mike had one bad habit. He ate a lot of sweets and chocolates. Those were his favou-rites. He just couldn’t refuse. His mother always told him，“Mike，don't eat so many sweets,

You will get toothaches.

His mother used to keep all the sweets in a glass jar (罐子) .It had a narrow mouth and a tight lid on it. W^^ST

One day when his mother went to the market,Mike saw that his father was asleep. So he walked carefully and slowly to the kitchen and got the sweet jar. With great effort,he opened the tight lid and put his hand in the narrow mouth. Mike picked a fist (拳头) full of sweets. But when he tried to pull his hand out,it got stuck (卡) in the jar.

Mike's father was awake and watching. He said to Mike, “You have picked up too many sweets in your fist. It's more than your little hand can keep. Your fist cannot come out of the jar. Let go of the sweets and pick only one sweet in your two fingers and you can pull your hand out easily. Always take as much as you can control.

Mike pulled out his hand from the jar easily and he learned a lesson for his life,too.
