Question

【题目】Mr. Reynolds, my teacher, handed us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic I wonder why things are the way they are.

I wrote down all the questions that puzzled (困扰) me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer, and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper, I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the questions.

The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story:

Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业) ? Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called Grandma" one day?.. Dad, why can't I stay out until 12: OO? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do 1 miss being at home?Why do you love me so much?

Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you. OGANU

At the end of my story. I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face. Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive but on the questions we ask.
