But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man bought it for a few coppers（铜钱）.Between its pages there was something very interesting. It was a thin paper on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”!The touchstone was a small pebble（卵石）that could turn any common metal into gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold.So the man camped on the seashore and began testing pebbles.He thought that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and put them down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.The days became weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea .So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.So it is with opportunity. Unless we are careful, its easy to fail to know an opportunity when it is in hand and its just as easy to throw it away.31 .

The son felt very happy when he saw the sky filled with colorful kites. He wanted to fly a kite, too. The father then bought a kite for his son.The son started to fly the kite. Soon, his kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the string (线) is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” The father cut the string and the kite started to go higher. This made the little boy happy. But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. It soon fell to the ground. The son was very surprised to see this. He asked his father, “I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall down?”The father explained, “The string was not stopping the kite from going higher, but was helping it stay in the sky. You helped the kite go up in the right direction by using the string. But when you cut the string, it could no longer support the kite.”We may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But in fact, these might be the things that support us the most. Remember this: strong support can help us grow!59 . Why did the boy feel happy? (不超过10个词)_60 .
