People traveled from far to buy his furniture (家具). One day, a young man came to learn from him. The young man loved working with wood but was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning from the carpenter, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do an easy job.” He then handed the young man a board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and gave it back soon. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little unhappy, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Being great needs not only skills but also carefulness. The easier the job is, the more carefulness we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” Life is like this: a great person moves forward with great care. 61. Why did the young man visit the old carpenter? 62. What did the old carpenter hand the young man? 63. How did the young man feel when the old carpenter let him try again? 64.
