Question

    Robert was a boy of eight years old. One day, when he was doing cleaning at home, he thought he should move the box out of the house. The box made of wood was very heavy. And it was much bigger than he. He tried, but he could not move it. After resting for a short time, the boy started once more, but failed again. He couldn't even move it a bit. He felt very tired and hopeless.

Just then, his father came home from work and saw his son work hard. He didn't help Robert. Instead, he asked, "Dear son, have you done your best? And are you doing everything you can?"
