【推荐1】There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to be patient and wise. So he asked them to take turns looking at a pear tree that was far from their home.
The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in fall. After they came back, he called them together and asked them what they saw.
The first son said that the tree was ugly and weak.
The second son didn’t think so—he said there were green buds in the tree and it was full of hope.
The third son didn’t agree with them. He said there were many flowers that smelled sweet and the tree looked beautiful.
The last son also had his own idea. He said the tree was ripe and full of fruit.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all correct because each of them saw just one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you cannot judge（评价）a tree or a person by only one season. You can see how someone changes and grows as time goes by—some periods（期间）are happy, while others are sad. If you give up on someone when they are living through the “winter” of their lives, you will miss the promise of their spring, the beauty of their summer, and the greatness（伟大）of their fall.

【推荐2】“Has anyone seen Charge?” I asked, only half expecting a reply. The kids were running around the house, each doing their own thing, and my husband was watching the football game. Since she had only been out of sight for a few hours, I wasn’t very worried. I thought she must be under one of the kids’ beds, hiding from all the mess that was usual for a Sunday afternoon in our home.
① .
Charge was not good-looking. It wasn’t her problem. My husband had found Charge walking around along the freeway one day on his way home from work. She looked as if (仿佛) she hadn’t eaten in weeks, so he stopped and fed her with bits of his leftover lunch. Not knowing what to do, he brought her home with the hope of finding her owners or at least a loving family that would take her. However, once she was in the house, the kids decided not to let her go. In the end we unwillingly accepted it and told them we could keep her.
After watching her actions for a few days, I found she was very distrustful and afraid of everyone. In time, though, she came to love the kids and slept on their beds every night. Every time the kids cried, Charge would run to them and gently offer her comforting paw. Unlike our cat who had recently given birth to five kittens, Charge would have been a great mother.
② .
When I was finally able to get everyone’s attention at the dinner table, I asked again if anyone had seen Charge. After a unanimous (异口同声的) “No”, I decided to take a look around the neighborhood.
③ .
“Charge!” I cried, because there she was in the closet (壁橱)! She looked up at me from inside the little cats’ box as if to say, “Shhh, I just got them to sleep!”
We usually kept the closet door open a bit so our mamma cat could go in and feed her kittens, but she always left as soon as she finished nursing. Clearly, Charge knew they needed more mamma time and was more than willing to help out.
④ .
The kids smiled upon seeing the dog with the kittens. My husband shook his head and said, “Only you, Charge. Only you!”
Charge continued to mother the kittens until they we replaced in their new homes. Charge may not have been an attractive dog, but she truly had her inner beauty.
