As soon as the man steps in this world， the first persons who he meets are his family members．
The first person is the mother who has taken great pain to bring him to this world． Then is the fathe who is always there to care for him． Then come the younger brothers or sisters．
The family is the first learning place for a person in this world． Starting from childhood until old age， he leans everything from his family． He sees his family members walking and starts trying that．He sees them speaking and he tries to copy them． Gradually， he learns the basic communication among the family members． He also learns how to love， how to behave， how to come along in life， all from his family． This develops a kind of close relationship among all family members． They are always there to help each other．
The family works like a chain． Younger people learn from elders while elders depend on their kids for a lot of things．When kids grow up， get married and have their own children， the whole cycle（循环） is repeated again． Family members will always rescue you whenever you need them．
They always support you in different ways． You can always share your problems with your family and find a better way to solve your problems after a discussion in the house． Considering all these， we can say， family is one of the greatest gifts of nature to us．

On a summer day， a man sitting under a tree on the bank of a river， watched a group of ducks on the river．
