Mary was a cute girl. When she was 11 years old, she lived in a small town. She loved playing the violin, but she wasn’t getting better at it. So she asked her father, John, for help.
The next day, John woke Mary up and took her to run along the road near their home. But soon Mary felt tired. Her dad suggested a rest, for he noticed Mary wanted to give up.
Then, John told a story about himself. When he was a child, he always ran along the road. Many children called the road “Endless Road”, because they couldn’t run to the end. However, he wanted to see what was waiting at the end of it. So he decided to run a little farther each time. He finally reached the end, tired but excited. There, he found the fantastic scenery (景色) with thick grass and beautiful flowers in front of him.
The story made Mary full of hope. From then on, she kept practicing the violin harder and tried to make a little more progress each day.
Now Mary becomes a good violinist. Whenever she meets difficulties, she will remember “Endless Road”. And she will always keep it in mind.

It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching at a new school. I loved my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.
Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn’t expecting any gifts.
Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a muchloved stuffed monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How thrilled I was!
Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother’s cupboard.
Finally, I came to one little boy’s gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas story book. Just when I wanted to express my happiness, I was interrupted (打断) by the giver, “And see, it is new! It still has the price tag.”
When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, let’s share one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts. They always remind me of my lovely kids.
