A small boy was trying to move a heavy wooden box out of his yard. The box was much bigger than the boy. He tried his best to move it, but the box would not move at all. After resting for a short time, the boy tried to move it once more. He pushed and shoved (推) with every muscle in his body, but he couldn’t even move the box an inch (英寸). He was worn out and discouraged (气馁的).
The boy’s father was coming home from work around this time. He stopped to watch his son’s fruitless efforts (努力). The father didn’t help him, but instead asked, “Son, have you tried your best and are you doing everything you can?”
“Yes, I am!” the boy cried.
“No,” his father said calmly (平静地), “You’re not. You have not asked me to help you.”
Asking for help is not a weakness. At some point, even the best of us need help. It is important to know when to ask for help and understand why you need it. Never be afraid to ask others for help when you’re in trouble.
