One day when the famous American scientist Edison was on his way home, a young man stopped him and required to have a word with him. Edison accepted his request.

The young man asked, “How, Mr. Edison, can you invent so many things and get your fame (名声)?”

The scientist said, “It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day, “

The young man nodded, “Yes. I have been dreaming of being a person as famed as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become reputable(有声望的). I don’t know when I can achieve my fame. “

Edison told him, “Don’t worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!”

“Why should I?” the young man was puzzled.

Edison said, “What you dream is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building will never come into reality. However, your story can serve as a mirror.

A young woman was driving through the lonely countryside. It was dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift.

“I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door.

“Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what she said, the hitchhiker (搭便车的人) gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug.

Then the young woman noticed the hitchhiker’s hands which were large and hairy.

Suddenly she realized that the hitchhiker was actually a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see out of the rear screen,” she said. “Would you mind clearing it for me?”

The hitchhiker nodded and opened the door. As soon as the hitchhiker was out of the car, the terrified young woman raced off.
