There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in winter，，the third in summer，and the youngest son in the①fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no. It was covered with green leaves，and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said there was lots of fruit in the tree，full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，but they had each seen only one season in the treeˈs life. He told them“You cannot judge a tree，or a person by only one season and its true nature－the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end，when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when itˈs winter，you will miss the promise of your spring，the beauty of your summer，harvest of your fall. Donˈt let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

If we don’t like it, we move on .I don’t like cities. You must live in a small box and you should work hard for all your time to get enough money to live. That’s not life. We should stay away from cities. Lucy is a nice girl. She can learn real things about life with us on the road.” Jim says

“Yes, I like this kind of life better than city life. Travelling is interesting in spring and summer. But winter is always difficult . It is so cold that Lucy gets ill every winter .The most important thing , I think is that Lucy needs a good education(教育) and she should have her own friends and a usual life like other kids. That means we must live in one place. Shall we move back to the city or not?”Said Kate.
