There was a big tree more than several hundred years old located in the middle of a dry land. There was no other tree but the old one gave shelter and shade to thousands of travellers.

One day, two travellers were travelling from far away. They were walking for several miles on a hot day. They started their journey from early morning and it was almost mid-noon. They could not walk any more. They were completely exhausted! Luckily, they reached the tree. They decided to take a rest under the tree. They slept for some time happily, enjoying the cool wind.

They felt hungry and one of the travelers decided to climb the branches to see if the tree has any fruit. Since it is not a fruit-bearing tree, the traveller became angry because of hunger and shouted at the tree, “Oh, this is just a useless tree and it has nothing to feed us, not even a fruit or even nuts!”

When the other traveller heard his words, he asked him to stay cool, “You can’t be so ungrateful（忘恩负义的）to the tree. Just look back at the condition when you reached here in the hot and dry sun! The tree offered you a cool and comfortable place to rest and sleep with cool wind. If it’s not here when you are very tired, you would have died now! The tree saved you from the hot sun, but what you said makes me feel really sorry for you!”

Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. Joe had four grandchildren, and they visited him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much. He was very upset about losing it.

Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?”

“I guess when I was cleaning the barn (谷仓)!”Joe replied.

The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather.

One grandson went back to the barn to search again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to remain silent.

He was there for about fifteen minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.

Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: “I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the tick, tick sound and found the watch.”

Joe hugged and thanked the little boy.

This is the power of silence. If we stay calm, we are more able to find the solution.

Do you like chocolate? Maybe most people do. A box of it can be a great gift. Buy one for a friend and give it as a surprise. See how happy that person gets.

Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A man has studied people’s choices. He says they tell something about the person. Do you choose a round piece? You are a person who likes to party. Do you choose an oval (椭圆形的) one? You are a person who likes to make things. Picking a square chocolate shows something else. The person is honest and true. You can believe in him or her.

What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past. Dark chocolate means something else. A person who chooses it looks toward the future. What about white chocolate? Would you choose it? If so, you may find it hard to decide things. Some people like chocolate with nuts (果仁). These are people who like to help others.

Do you believe these ideas? Can candy tell all these things? It doesn’t really matter. There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolate. They eat it just because they like it.
