One's education starts from family,especially from his or her mother. Here is a story that happened1 I was very young.
One Saturday morning, I was watching TV inthe living room with my two brothers. My mum2 several apples of different colors and sizes.She put all the apples on the table, then3 me and my younger brothers, "Which do youlike?"4 my younger brothers and I wanted the biggestone. Before I5 say"The biggest one", one of my brothers stood up and said what I wantedto say.
My mum6 thebiggest apple and said to us, "It is good to get the biggest apple. Manypeople want the best thing, but7 really get it. Now let's start a8. Look at the lawn (草坪) in front of our9. I'll divide it into three parts. Each ofyou must finish pruning10 own part. The best and quickest one will be11 thebiggest apple." I won the apple finally.
Since then, I have learned to try my bestto succeed whenever I get a chance. I work12 toget what I want. That was what my mother advised me to do. I feel very thankfulto my mum because she taught me a very basic but the most13 lesson. It is quite fair that we can get whatwe want14 competing. My mother kept teaching us in thisway and we followed her15 all the time.
I do believe that mother is the firstteacher of children, who can teach them to be a No.1 pursuing person.
