Tea is popular in the world. We drink tea every day. But more than four hundred years ago, most of the people in Europe did not know anything about tea. Some had heard about it, but very few knew what to do with it.

Here is a story about a sailor (水手) who went to countries all over the world. He had been to China and India. One day he came home and brought some tea as a gift for his mother. The mother told her friends about the gift and asked them to come to a “tea party”. When her friends came to the “tea party”, the old woman took out some brown tea leaves and asked them to eat. Of course nobody liked the tea leaves.

Just at that time the sailor came in. He looked at the table and asked, “Mother, what did you do with the tea?” “I boiled it as you said.”

“And what did you do with the water?”

“I poured it away, of course,” answered the mother.

“Now you may throw away the leaves, too,” said her son.

There is an old Chinese saying, “A drop of water in need shall be returned with a spring in deed.” That means if someone helps you a little now, you should help him or her a lot in the future.

We should thank our parents. They work hard all the time in order to give us a better life. They give us food and clothes, and they teach us what is right and what is wrong. They look after us very well.

We should thank our teachers because they give us dreams, and they help make our dreams come true. It is not easy for teachers to teach us. They teach us a lot of things, but they ask for nothing from us. They educate us well.

Some people hurt (伤害) us but we should thank them, because they teach us important things. Some people give up on us but we should thank them, because we learn how to do things by ourselves. Some people are selfish (自私的) but we should still thank them, because we learn the importance of being kind.

There are a lot of people whom we should thank in our life. We should let them know our thanks with actions, not just words. Then what action will you take to thank them?
