An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the
16 got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita(薄迦梵歌).
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the book like you
17 I can’t understand it, and I forget it easily. What’s the
18 of reading it?”
The grandfather said, “Take this coal(煤炭) basket down to the
19 and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as his grandfather
20 ,but all the water ran
21 he got home. The grandfather laughed, “You’ll have to move faster next time.”
This time the boy
22 faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was
23 to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, “I just want a basket of water. You’re not
24 hard enough.”
The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the
25 into the river and ran hard. But there wasn’t anything in it again. He said
26 ,“Look, grandpa, it’s useless!”
“Watch the basket.” said the grandfather.
For the first time the boy
27 the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into a
28 one, inside and out.
“Boy, you might not understand or remember
29 when you read the book, but when you read it, you will be
30 ,inside and out. That’s what you got from it.”
