Some boys stood around a tall tree. "It would be1to climb to the top!" they said to each other. The boys then decided to play a game to see2could climb to the top of the tree first. Their mothers were sitting not far away,3up their children as they played.
One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the shortest child4the group. No one thought he would win the competition.
Then the game5. All of the boys tried their best to climb as high as they could.6they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree fastest in the end.
His mother was happy7this. She asked him, "David, how did you try to reach the top of the tree so8?"
"It was easy," David said. "The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared9were afraid of falling down. I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I10going higher and higher until 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 dreams.
