An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the 1 got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita (薄迦梵歌). One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the book like you 2 I can"t understand it, and I forget it easily. What"s the 3 of reading it?" The grandfather said, "Take this coal (煤炭) basket down to the 4 and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did as his grandfather 5 , but all the water ran 6 he got home. The grandfather laughed, "You"ll have to move faster next time." This time the boy 7 faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was 8 to carry water in a basket.

With nothing to do at home, my son, who just left university, was ready to go together with me. As I pushed the basket towards the register (收银机), I checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might go to the Express Line (快速通道) where the sign said "Ten items or 【不能修改】less". I started to go to that line and my son said, "Mon, you have twelve items!" I said, "You know, but they"re close." He said, "Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items." Knowing he was right. I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So I was waiting for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket to pay for them when a young man came up behind me in line with two items. I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished. Again, my son came up. "Mom, he has only two items and the Express Line is very long now. Won"t you just let him go first?" I agreed, and the young man smiled widely and thanked me several times. It felt good to be with my son and have him remind me not to live a hurried life. Do what"s right and also be kind. I really take pride in him. | 1.

She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don"t you look like your room?" Ida was sent to her adopted (收养) family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn"t know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents. During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider. As she grew older, she accepted (接受) who she was. Still, she wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑).
