Try again
“Have you finished your lesson, George?” said Mr. Prentice to his son, who had laid aside his book and was busy making a large paper kite.
“No, Father,” replied George.
“Why not, my son?”
“Because it is so difficult. I’m not sure whether I shall learn it. I can’t remember it after I learn it. My memory is so bad.”
“If I were to promise you a holiday on the thirtieth of the month after next, do you think you would forget the date?”

“It is of no use. I cannot learn,” he said in a whisper to a friend who sat near him.
“You must try hard,” replied the kind-hearted boy.
“I have tried, but it is of no use. I may just as well give up at once.”
“Try again, Henry!” whispered his friend in an encouraging tone.
These two little words gave him great encouragement.
Gradually he began to find the sentences lingering (继续存留) in his memory. Soon to his surprise and pleasure, the lesson didn’t seem so difficult and he could repeat the whole lesson.
