A White – bearded ancient man was walking over the hills and valleys of the world．On his back he carried a bag which moved uneasily as if something was trying to escape from it, but he 1it between his shoulders and walked on．
He was Father Time, traveling forever, and the bag he 2was filled with Tomorrows, all struggling to get out．
Each 3at twelve o’clock, he opened the bag and 4a Tomorrow, just one, with its wings of 5, and its shining feathers rose with hope．All the rest were kept 6by Time’s strong hands and pushed 7in the bag．
Down flew the Tomorrow 8its lovely feathers, but as it touched the 9, off fell its blue wings and it changed to a（n） 10white bird which could not fly．It had become a Today．Everyone knows that Today isn’t as 11as Tomorrow, for Today can be held in one’s 12, accepted, unloved, but Tomorrow is full of mystery（神秘）and beauty．It is 13by all the world．Even those with 14hope sigh, “Tomorrow may bring a（n） 15．Tomorrow’s life will be different．”
Everybody tried to 16the Tomorrow before it fell to the ground．They thought if they 17beforehand what the Tomorrow carries, they could 18for it．So they put great nets on the trees, seeking to catch one 19it changed his feather．Yet although they tried every means, the birds 20and flew to the ground as Todays．
