        Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. Everyone respected him. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.

        The wise man was worried about his son's future. One day, he said to his son, "I want you to go and find some treasure. I have drawn a map to guide you." Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.

        The son set out on his long journey the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with shelter. He also came across robbers who tried to rob him. He saw changing landscapes (风景) and experienced different kinds of weather.

        Finally, after a long year, he reached the treasure's location. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure, but found nothing.

        Disappointed, he headed back to his home. On his way back, he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to hunt and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes and shelter himself. He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun and protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay them.

        When he reached home, he apologized to his father for not finding the treasure.

        "There wasn't any treasure in the very first place, my son," the father answered with a smile. "But I think you have found your life's true purpose."
