"What is it?" shouted the Squire.
"The bridge is broken in the middle, he answered. "If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river."
"Thank God!" said the Squire. "Thank you, Beauty!" said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said: "Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous."

Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over-confident. They think they can do e1.. So they simply ignore(忽视) their old parents, and believe that their parents’ experienced thoughts are out of date. Actually I used to be one of them, but after h2. a story told by my father, I changed my mind completely. Now I would like to s3. it with all of you.
Once, there’s a young man who looked down on the o4.. He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻烦事) in your busy life, a useless life that was going to be over. He also did this to his father.
One day, the father and the son happened to meet each other in the garden. The son suggested that they should take a walk t5.. As they walked, a beautiful garden came into their sight. The son pointed to one of the prettiest flower and said, “We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit. What about you oldsters? Just l6.the falling leaves from a dying tree.”
Hearing this, the father smiled but said n7.. They continued the walking in silence. When they passed a shop, the father stopped and went in, he bought a walnut（核桃）and showed it to his son, slow and kind, he said, “We old are like this walnut. We’ve experienced many hard events in life. So we built up such a strong shell, and at the same time we also built up a pure inner world. Every fruit is so full-grown.”
“But every fruit was born by f 8..” Refuted(反驳) the son.
“Yes, but not every flower can bear fruit….”
From then on, I always keep this story in my m9.. It has taught me a lot.
We should try to be a flower that can bear fruit. We also have to know that our parents aren’t nuisances, b 10. experienced walnuts, works of nature.
