Once upon a time，some children at seaside when they found a turtle（海龟）. They began to beat the turtle. Just at that time，a young man came and said to them, “Stop！” The children ran away . The turtle was very thankful and said，“Thanks for your . I really would like you to a wonderful palace now.”
The young man rode on the back of the turtle and was taken to the secret palace in the sea. When he the palace，he was very surprised and said to the turtle “ nice palace！” To thank him, the king of the turtles gave him a very dinner. He had never seen a dinner before. He received a warm welcome there and was very pleased everything.
After dinner，the king of the turtles said，“I am going to give you two boxes， you can open only one.” “You mustn’t open both. Don’t forget it！” the turtle warned him.“ All right. I will open only one.” The young man promised. At this time，a large wave sent him out of the sea.
After he went back home，he opened the one of the two boxes. To his surprise the box was full of gold. “My God！” he cried. “I‘m a rich man now.” Then he thought，“Things in the other small box must be expensive，too.” He could not wait . He broke his promise and opened the other box. As soon as he opened it，he became an old man. His hair turned white . His face looked like an old man over eighty years old. It all happened in a moment. He was sorry for what he did，but it was too late.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting.
My small hands could get the mail without using a key! I always could never to see how much I was getting. Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe, we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had the post office all these years. Today I send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

Time is very important in our life. It our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It's around my wrist with two silver bands.
I received this gift on a gray-sky day. I went to the airport a.m. to up my uncle Ali and take him to my house. However, I was late because I was with my friends. Later, around 11:00 a.m. I my uncle , but he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my house. I got to my house at 2:00 p.m. and felt of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, "Peter, did you have with your friends today? I answered, "Yes, Father, and I apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali." He said, "What you was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your action." I was ashamed and said, "Father, I'll never do it again. I promise." He said, "I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
