There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often because many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths (小路). “Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one path, and then the other. I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. Then I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It looked as if it had not been cleaned for months. For a long time, I couldn’t make up my mind.
After a while, a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. To my surprise, there was a small garden. It was beautiful. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. Later, I told the others what I had seen in the park, but they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small. My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. If you try, you may get a big surprise!
