A group of boys gathered around a tree. "What a tall tree!" they said to each other." It would be1to climb to the top!"
The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree first. Their2were sitting not far away, looking on at their children as they played.
One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the3 child in the group. Nobody thought he would win the competition.
Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best to4as high as they could. Although they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree fastest in the end.
His mother was5to see this. She asked him, "David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so6?"
"It was easy," David said. "The other children kept7as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared and were afraid of falling down. I, however,8looked up. When I saw how close I was, I kept going9until I reached the top."
It is true in life that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals toward10.
