There was once a young man. He was the only child in his family, so his parents did everything for him. He just hung out every day, doing nothing. One day, he met an old man. The old man asked him, "My boy, why don't you work hard when you are young?'
The young man replied. "I'm young, so I have a lot of time.
The old man said nothing. He asked the young man to go into a dark house with him. "I can't see anything!" the young man said.
The old man lit a match and said, "Before the match goes out, pick something you like in the house."
The young man tried to see the things, hut soon the match were out. The house became dark again.
"Before I got something, the match went out," the young man said.
The old man said, "Your youth is just like the match. It can only last for a short time. So you should make full use of your time!"
