There was a man who had four sons.He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly.So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.
The first son went in the winter,the second in the spring,the third insummer,and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back,he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly.The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves,and full of hope.The third son disagreed.He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful,it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen.The last son disagreed with all of them,he said there was lots of fruit in the tree,full of life and harvest(收获).
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right,but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life.He told them"You cannot judge a tree,or a person by only one season and its true nature﹣the pleasure,joy,and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end,when all the seasons are up."
If you give up when it's winter,you will miss the promise of your spring,the beauty of your summer,harvest of your fall.Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

Fraser Island is in Queensland,Australia,about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane.It is about 120kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide.It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand.In fact,it is the largest sand island in the world.There is no airport on the island,but there is a long beach along the east coast.Planes arrive and leave from here.
The sand makes unusual shapes.There are hills made of sand called sandblows.Nothing grows on them.They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island,getting bigger and bigger.At other places on the island,such as Rainbow Gorge,The Cathedrals and Red Canyon,the sandy rocks have different colors.Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown,like coffee.
Surprisingly,the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals.There are dark forests﹣eucalyptus woods,beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes.There are many kinds of birds,like owls and curlews.There are many animals there,too,such as crocodiles,flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.
About 500,000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature.People enjoy camping and hiking(徒步)there.Unluckily,the visitors create problems.They damage plants and frighten animals.Their sun cream(防晒霜)makes the water dirty.So it is necessary to manage the visitors.For example,people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes,and they need official papers to drive there.
