In a small village, there was a wise old man named Ryan. One day his young nephew (侄子) Keith came to visit him. During their talk, Keith said he was sad and worried about his little progress in learning the guitar. However hard he tried, he just couldn't improve much.
Keith asked his uncle for advice. "Follow me." said Ryan, and he led Keith up to the high hills around the village. This road was long and difficult, but Keith followed the old man. As they got higher. Ryan said that he needed to go to the top of the highest hill where he had never been to. Keith was surprised but decided to help his uncle.
With great difficulty, Keith helped his uncle climb the hill. Sometimes he even carried the old man on his back. At the top, sweating(流汗), he put his uncle back on the ground and laughed with joy.
"Do you remember the times when you were a little boy? Sometimes you returned home with tears in your eyes," said Ryan. "The other children teased (嘲笑) you. Do you remember why?"
Keith looked around and nodded. He remembered that as a child he often played on the hills with other children. They called this hill Mount Impossible, because small children couldn't reach its top. "At that time I was unable to get here," said Keith. "The bigger kids had no problem."
"And today," said Ryan. "you not only climbed here, but also dragged me up."
"I became bigger and stronger."
"Instead of climbing Mount Impossible every day, you played on the smaller hills and became better at climbing. You became stronger." said Ryan. "Mount Impossible became possible for you to climb while you weren't even thinking about it."
