An old man was fishing on the bank of a river.A child came to see him fishing.The old man was really good (36) fishing and it didn't take long for him to (37) a full basket of fish.The old man saw that the child was very cute,and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish.But the child (38) her head.The old man was (39) and asked."Why don't you want the fish?"
The child answered."I want the fishing rod (杆)in your hands."
The old man asked."Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket.But if I have the fishing rod,I can go (40) by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."
I think you will (41) say that the child is very smart.Wrong!If she doesn't know (42) to fish,she can not have fish to eat,even though she has the fishing rod.It's (43) to only have a fishing rod.Fishing skills are the (44) important,not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a"fishing rod"in their life,they will (45) fear the wind and rain.They are just like the child,who thought that if when had a fishing rod,she would have fish to eat.
