It’s never too late to mend
Once upon a time, there was a man who kept several sheep. One morning, he found one of his sheep was missing. After checking the pen carefully, he discovered a hole in the wall of the pen. It turned out that a wolf had broken into the pen and stolen his sheep.
His neighbor advised, “You should fix the pen and cover the hole right away.” But he rejected, “The sheep has already lost. It’s no use fixing it now.” However, the next morning, he found another sheep missing. The wolf stole the sheep through the hole again!
He regretted not taking the neighbor’s advice and began to cover the hole immediately. From then on, no more sheep was stolen.
Good morning, everyone. I’m Li Hua

The artful Arab
Many years ago, there was a man named Nabor in an Arabian tribe (部落), who owned a beautiful horse.This horse was famous for being both fast and gentle. Admiring this horse for long,an Arab named Jehu had offered his camels and many valuable treasures for the horse, but Nabor refused.
Jehu then devised a trick, hoping to get the horse to himself. He decided to dress in rags,dirtyhis face and blindfold himself. Then, he lay by the roadside to wait for the owner of the horse.
When he saw Nabor coming on his beautiful horse, he cried out in a weak voice, “I am dying; help me please. For three days and nights I have been unable to move from this spot to find food.”
Nabor kindly offered to take him on his horse and carry him home; but Jehu replied,“I cannot stand;I have no strength left.” Nabor felt pity and got off his horse. He led his horse to the man and,with great difficulty, helped him onto the horse’s back. But, once Jehu was sitting in the saddle (鞍), he kicked the horse and galloped off (疾驰), calling out as he did so, “I have the horse; and you will never see it again.Goodbye!”
Nabor was surprised and sad at first, but he soon ran after the thief, shouting to him to stop as he had something to say.
Certain that Nabor could not catch him by foot, Jehu turned the horse and stopped a short distance from Nabor. “You have taken my horse,” said Nabor, “but since I can do nothing to stop you, I have to accept my loss; but I beg you never to tell anyone how you got the horse.”
“And why not?” asked Jehu. “Because,” replied Nabor, “another man might be truly sick and in trouble, and men would be too fearful to help him. In this way, you would prevent others doing what is good and right for fear of being tricked as I have been.”

5 . The Fisherman's Fantasy was a club which attracted lots of people claiming that fishing was their favorite hobby. There were streams and lakes filled with hungry fish in the neighborhood. The club members met regularly to discuss the excitement of catching fish. They seemed to get crazy about fishing!
The group carefully defined fishing, the purpose of fishing and so on when somebody thought that they needed philosophies of fishing. They not only outlined fishing strategies and skills, but also thought about different questions. Do fish view the world as we humans do? What do fishermen look like to the fish? What do fish feed on? With so many questions to answer, they started their serious research and attended various discussions on fishing. Some even traveled faraway to study different kinds of fish, with different habits. What's more, some made effort to gain a PhD in biology with the objective of further exploring fish. But surprisingly, no one had yet gone fishing even once!
Because there were too many fishing places for fishermen to choose from, they even set up a special committee to make choices before a list of selected fishing places was posted on walls. Nevertheless, believe it or not, still, no one was fishing!
Finally the club carried out a survey and found out that some were attracted to study fish, some to clean fishing equipment, and several to go around encouraging others to go fishing. They were so occupied that they just simply didn't have time to fish themselves.
Now, Fred, a new member to the fishing club, instantly went fishing after the first meeting. He tried some skills discussed in the meeting, got the hang of them, and caught a fish. At the next meeting, he told his story, and was honored for his catch, and then scheduled to tell others how he did it. Nowadays, Fred no longer had time to go fishing due to all the speaking invitations and his election to the board of directors of the Fisherman' Fantasy. Before long, he began to feel bored, restless and empty. He desired to feel the fish bite on the line once again. So he refused those restless and empty. He desired to feel the fish bite on the line once again. So he refused those speaking invitations and retired from the board.He said to a friend, “Let's go fishing,”. They did, just the two of them, and they caught fish.
The members of the Fisherman's Fantasy were many, the fish were plentiful, but the real fishers were few.
