John was a very strong man． Once he got a job cutting wood in the forest． His boss gave him an axe（斧子） and showed him the area where he should work．

The third day he tried even harder， but could only cut down 10trees． Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees．
"I must be losing my strength．" John thought． He said sorry to his boss， and he said he could not understand what was going on．
"When was the last time you sharpened（磨快） your axe？" the boss asked．
