An old man was fishing on the bank of a river.A child came to see him fishing.The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish.The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish.But the child shook her head.The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?”

The child answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”

The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”

“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket.But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”

I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart.Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod.It’s useless to only have a fishing rod.Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.

Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear(害怕)the wind and rain.They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

Christmas Day is the most important festival in the USA , Canada, Australia, England and many other Western countries. The day before the festival, people put a tree in their house and in the tree there’re colourful lights and many presents for the family members. People often have a party around the tree and they have a very good time.

The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. People usually have 15 days off. Family members get together. They eat and chat a lot. There’re also lots of wonderful TV programmes (节目) for the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is an important festival, too. On the evening of the festival, people eat mooncakes, look up at the beautiful moon in the open air. Another important festival is the Dragon Boat Festival. People eat a kind of Chinese food called Zongzi (rice dumplings) on that day. In some places, people can watch dragon boats.

Thanksgiving Day is a special festival for the Americans to thank God (上帝). They eat pumpkins and turkeys (火鸡) on the festival. The birthday of a country is called National Day. Every country doesn’t celebrate it on the same day of the year.
