My name is Tom, When I was young, I was always sad, almost everything ending in failure. I completely lost my heart, sighing(叹息) unhappily all day. Having seen me like that, my father decided to cheer me up.
One day, he gave me a cup of water and asked me to taste it. I found it salty. My father said he just put one small spoonful of salt in the cup. And then, he led me to a lake, where he threw a big handful(一把) of salt into the lake, picked up a spoon of water and let me taste it again. He asked, "Does it still taste salty?"' "Not at all," I said. My father said, "Now you may know the reason of your pain: you are just a cup of water, but not a lake. Be a lake and you won't feel sad any more."
