Many years ago in a small village, an old man (hire) to clear the spring (泉水) up on the mountain. He patrolled (巡逻) the spring every day, and swept away all the leaves and other things that would dirty the fresh flow of water. Soon, beautiful swans (天鹅) came to the clear spring and with time (go) on, the village became a popular (attract) for visitors.
Years passed. One evening the town leaders thought unnecessary to keep this old man on year after year and so the old man was asked to leave.
For several weeks, nothing changed. By early autumn, the leaves began to fall the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much (dark). Only a few months after the old man left, all the swans left, as did the tourists. Disease reached deeply into the village.
Quickly, the leaders held a special meeting. Realizing their decision to fire the man was not(reason), they rehired the old man. Since then, the village (enjoy) great popularity among the tourist.
So, your work or your life seems to be small, never overlook it. Anything we can do will makedifference.
