One day，a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas.The father said， "Look!There is a horseshoe.Pick it up and put it in your bag." Thomas said， "It isn't worth the trouble." His father said nothing but picked it up himself.

    When they got to a nearby town，they had a rest.There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with a few pennies he bought some cherries （樱桃）.The father and the son continued their way.The sun was well up in the sky.And there wasn't a house or even a tree where they could have a rest.Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on.At this time，his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it.After a while，his father dropped another cherry and once again，his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.And so they went on.The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up.

    When Thomas had eaten all the cherries，his father said to him， "My dear son，if you had bent（弯曲）down earlier to pick up that horseshoe，it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.Always remember the lesson that anyone who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things."

Since the outbreak （爆发） of the pandemic（疫情），it has made its way around the world.

    It has a strong influence on our daily life.People have found a way to protect themselves by wearing face masks （口罩）.We must wear masks anywhere in public.But the masks are one ﹣ time items.This means that we need to discard them after one or two uses.The world has seen wasted masks strewn （散布在） all over the streets and filling up garbage bins （垃圾箱）.

    Experts have pointed out that the materials used in masks are difficult to degrade （降解）.It will take at least 100 years for them to degrade naturally.Environmentalists become quite worried because a countless number of wasted masks have ended up in the sea!They are polluting the sea!The sea animals suffer （遭受） a lot and so do we humans.If the sea animals eat them by mistake，the rubbish will be hard to digest （消化） and stay in their stomachs forever.The bacteria on the masks may.kill them too.They will not only largely influence the ecological balance （生态平衡） of the sea，but also can spread some more dangerous illnesses.People will also leave these harmful things in their own bodies and may become ill when eating these sea animals.

    In general，the harm of wasted masks to the sea is serious，so we must take action to stop it right now.We should leave them in a safe place and find a wise way to recycle them.
