If you don’t work hard, you’ll regret it!” I had to sit back down again and return to my textbooks. But all I was playing with my friends and eating persimmons.
My mom would say to me, with a serious look on face, “If a persimmon tree doesn’t grow in summer, it can’t bear（结出） fruit in autumn! Only by hard work you get good results.”
I didn’t understand it at that time, I gradually came to see the truth of her words. A few months later, I succeeded in getting into the key middle school. It was . Walking in my new school, I could see quite a few persimmon trees. The fruit was so red that it looked as if it was on fire. Suddenly, I that working hard may be bitter but its fruit is sweet.
