25、Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my
father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my
father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned
lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You
should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without
the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed . We couldn’t
have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really
got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to
be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).
Once we climbed a
very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years
old. During the first few hours of climbing . I enjoyed the flowers and trees,
and the birds’ singing,
but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing.
In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but
you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there
at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was
too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got knew hope and
confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear
as crystal (水晶).
