As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control    47    for building green plants. Scientist do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves take in the pollutants.

The Beaver and Its Goal

Last fall there was a beaver moving in the small stream beside our house. He immediately began taking down small trees, and within a couple of weeks our small stream turned into a small pond. Every day he added more to his dam and to his house.

With the stream now dammed up and his house built, we thought that would be the last of the beaver’s busy activity as winter set in. But ,to our amazement, he started chewing on a very large maple tree. Over the winter, when the weather allowed, he kept coming back and would chew a bit more.

With spring finally arriving, we went down to see the beaver’s progress and sure enough the tree was going to come down soon! The beaver’s original goal was to build a home for the winter. Working every day with that particular focus in mind, he achieved that goal. But the large maple tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal----he wanted the large tree for the spring, to provide new food and branches to continue damming in anticipation of the spring thaw. And ,even with the setbacks he faced over the winter, he never gave up.

Sometimes we have a goal to just survive, but we also need to set goals for tomorrow. It is also very important that when faced with setbacks in achieving a goal, you need to stay focused and don’t let the setbacks discourage you.
