There was a man who had four sons. He hoped his sons could learn not to judge things too quickly. So he gave them a task in turn, (ask) them to go to see a pear tree at a distance(separate).

    The first son set out in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and theyoung)in autumn.

    When all of them returned home, they were called together(describe) what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was (bend) and ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds(花蕾)and full of hope. The third son said it was full of flowerssmelled so sweet and that he hadseen such beautiful scenery. The last son disagreedall or them, saying it was filled with fruits, full of life and content.

    The man told his four sons that they were all correct, but they only saw the tree inseason, He taught them that the value of a person could only be measure when all the seasons were over.

    If you give up in winter, you(miss) the hope of spring, the beauty of summer, and the harvest of autumn in your life.
