        Myname is Tom. When I was young, I was always sad, and almost everything ended infailure. I completely lost my heart, sighing (叹息) unhappily all day. Having seen me likethat, my father decided to cheer me up.

        Oneday, he gave me a cup of water and asked me to taste it. I found it salty. Myfather said he just put one small spoon of salt in the cup. And then, he led meto a lake, where he put a big handful (一把) of salt into the lake, picked up aspoon of water and let me taste it again. He asked, "Does it still tastesalty?" "Not at all," I said. My father said, "Now, you mayknow the reason of your pain: you are just a cup of water, but not a lake. Be alake and you won't feel sad any more."
