Having done nothing except wasting time in playing silly computer games, I've got nothing to jot down but a story that I read from a Chinese '武俠小說', which is great.
I believe that many people have heard of this story, maybe even more than once I duno. Yet anyway I'm going to shoot.
Once upon a time, there were an old man and his grandson on a journey to nowhere. Realizing there was still a long way to go, they bought a donkey. As they're on their way, a passer-by squinted at them and commented, 'I can't believe that you two are that heartless - You wanna make the little donkey tired to death, huh?' Hearing this, the old man was embarrassed and got off the cattle immdiately. Moments later, 'Oh my...! How can you let your grandpa walk while you're riding the donkey?' grimaced another passer-by to the little boy. No sooner had he said this, than the two travellers exchanged their positions. Again, a passer-by snapped at the old man, 'How can you let a little walk while you're riding a donkey?' It's when the old man got off the donkey and they both walked. Again, a passer-by said, 'Don't tell me that you two are that stupid, that you bought a donkey but don't get on it. Ha!' in this way, the old man and the boy couldn't help but to set free the donkey and continue their journey.....
This story tells us that we have to be ourselves, and don't follow everything others said without thinking.
Apologies for my monotonous writing style today. :P
Cheers,
Kelvin
