A
An old man lives with his little grandson.Every day the old man gets up early to read books.
One day the grandson asked,“Grandpa,I want to read books as you do.But I always forget what I read.What are
the advantages of reading?”
The grandfather didn’t answer him,but said,“Take this little basket to the river and bring me back a basket of
water.” The boy did as his grandpa said,but all the water leaked out before he got back home.The grandfather laughed
and said,“You’ll have to walk faster next time.”
The next time the boy ran faster,but the basket was still empty before he returned home.The boy
said,“See,Grandpa,it’s no use!”
“Is it no use?” the old man said.“Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and found that the basket was different.It was cleaner,inside and out.
