Many years ago, there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge (判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.
When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they saw. The first son said the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful, and it was the most wonderful thing he saw. The youngest son said that there were heavy fruits on the tree.
