V. 阅读表达
One day we went to pick up our grandson Mark at his school. It was a beautiful spring day so we went to the garden.
We noticed that Mark was sad. He said, "There is nothing special about me. Well, I am smaller than my elder brother and I am bigger than my younger brother." I knew he felt that he was not getting the same attention.
We walked a little farther into the woods. Mark asked me if we could throw rocks into the river to see which one would go the farthest. I agreed. Then Mark said, "I am going to throw the biggest rock, because I know it will go the farthest. "Mark picked up the largest rock he could find and threw it. Although it made a very big splash(飞溅的水), it didn't go very far. Mark thought for a minute and said, "I am going to throw a little rock instead. "He picked up a little stone and threw it but it didn't go very far because it was too little.
Thinking quickly, I said, "Why don't you pick up a rock that is in between the other two rocks and see what happens." As a family, we had always spent a lot of time out in nature and I thought this was a good opportunity to use nature as a teacher. Mark picked up a medium-sized rock and threw it. Mark said, "Look, the middle-sized rock went the farthest!"
I smiled, "You see, Mark, you are like the middle-sized rock. In this situation the little rock was too light, the big rock was too heavy, but the middle-sized rock was just right."
"So, I am special?"
"Yes, Mark, everyone and everything is special and has a special purpose, especially you."
Mark smiled and picked up another medium- sized rock to throw again.
