What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this litter basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” the boy did, but all the water leaked out（漏出）before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “ You’ll have to walk faster next time.”
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “ See, Grandpa, it’s useless（无用的）!”

When Lily was little, she liked to study everything around her. Her parents decided to support her in every possible way.
Her father Mr. Smith is a skilled carpenter (木匠). He built a workshop in their yard for Lily to do hands-on activities. He taught her simple woodworking skills and encouraged her to create her own projects, whether it was a birdhouse or a toy. Meanwhile, Mrs. Smith, an artist, used her paints and brushes to help Lily make her creations more beautiful.
As Lily grew older, her parents continued to support her interest. They sent her to take art classes every week. They would proudly display her works around their house.
Supported by her parents, Lily went to study in a famous art college later. There she studied hard and learned from excellent teachers. Finally she became a great artist like her mother.
