阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this?”
At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.”
After a little while, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated, but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.”

I don’t think I need to tell you that reading is good for you — great for you. 1. Sometimes, people do want to read — they’ve got a book at home sitting on the shelf that they fancy — but can never seem to find the time. Well, my friends, this post is for you.
● 2.
Obviously, to get yourself motivated to read, read something that interests you. Society, animals, philosophy, science, art — whatever you want. If you’re drawn to the book, you’ll be more willing to pick it up and read it.
● Have a goal.
Some people set radical (激进的) goals for themselves like reading one book a week. Obviously, you don’t have to be as radical as that. 3. It’s all up to you. But setting a goal and trying to reach it gives you a focus that’ll help you get the job done.
● 4.
If you’re determined, use every possible moment. On the bus. On the subway. On your lunch break. When you’re at the gym. You won’t regret it, I promise!
● Just start.
Sometimes the thing preventing us from reading is our own mind. Our mind will make up all kinds of excuses not to do something. Not get out of bed. Not clean the house. Not shower. And in this case, not read. The trick to bypassing (避开) this mental block is to just pick up the book and read! 5. Once you start reading, it’s quite difficult to stop!
A.Reading is a pleasure.
B.Have a reading partner.
C.Read whenever you can.
D.Unfortunately, most people don’t read.
E.Don’t pour too much thought into the action. Just do it.
F.When you set a goal, letting yourself down isn’t really a big deal.
G.You can start by reading a book a month, or a book every two months even.
