I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility(责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have three jobs to learn responsibility.
When I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. In the club, I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. and went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I came known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was not hard to be discouraged.
One night, a woman executive （总经理）from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked. After she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call---Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June, 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me will pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

A small weak pig "Where's Papa going with the ax(斧头)? " said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
"Out to the hoghouse(猪圈)，" replied Mrs Arable. "Some pigs were born last night."
"I don't see why he needs an ax," continued Fern, who was only eight.
"Well," said her mother, "one of the pigs is very small and weak, and it will never grow up to anything. So your father has decided to do away with it."
"Do away with it?" cried Fern. "Just because it's smaller than the others?"
Mrs Arable put a bottle of cream on the table. "Don't cry, Fern!" she said. "The pig would probably die anyway."
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime. Fern's sneakers got wet by the time she caught up with her father.
"Please don't do it!" she said with eyes full of tears.
"It's not right." Mr Arable stopped walking. "Fern," he said gently. "you will have to learn to control(控制)yourself."
"Control myself?" cried Fern. "This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself." Tears ran down her face and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father's hand.
"Fern," said Mr Arable, "I know more about raising pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble. Now run along!"
"But it's unfair," cried Fern. "The pig couldn't help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?"
Mr Arable smiled. "Certainly not," he said, looking down at his daughter with love. "But this is different. A little girl is one thing; a little pig is another."
"I see no difference," replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. "This is the most terrible thing I have ever heard of."
A strange look came over John Arable's face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself.
