Once a businessman was deep in debt (债务). He was not able to get out of debt. So one day, he sat down in the park to think about how he could save his company from bankruptcy (破产). While he was sitting there, an old man appeared, sat down next to him and said, "I can see that something is troubling you..."
The businessman was sad, so he told the old man everything about his problem. After hearing the sad story of the businessman, the old man smiled and replied, "I believe I can help you.
The old man put his hand into his pocket, took out a book and asked the businessman his name. Then, he gave a cheque (支票) to the businessman and said, Take this money. Meet me here after one year from today and you can pay me back at that time. ''
After giving that cheque, the old man walked away. The businessman had mixed feelings. He looked at the cheque and saw that it was a cheque of S500, 000signed by Warren Buffet (one of the richest men in the world). He couldn't believe how lucky he was.
The businessman realized that with half of this he could easily get out of debt, but instead of using the cheque to pay his debt, he decided to put that cheque in his safe (保险箱) and to use it only in case of emergency.
From then on, he started working really hard with full enthusiasm (热情). And, after only a few months, the businessman got out of debt and started making profit again.
One year passed since the day the businessman met the old man, and as promised he returned to the park with the same cheque the old man gave him. As agreed, the old man also appeared. The businessman was very happy to see the old man and told him his success story.
When the businessman was about to return the cheque to the old man. however, A nurse ran over to them and caught the old man by the hand, while saying to the businessman, "I am so glad I caught him...

A strong pull brought one bucket to the top while the other down to the water. They always passed each of her on the way up and down, but never had time to speak.
At last, the rope became worn. So a new rope had to be put in its place. While this was being done, the two buckets were left standing together near the well.

But the other bucket laughed and said, "What a funny way you have of looking at things! Don't you see that whenever we are sent down empty, we always come up full?
Boys and girls sometimes talk like these two buckets. You may hear one of them say, "Just as we are having a good game, we are made to stop and go to work again. Yes, "the other will reply, "but as soon as work is over, we always get to go out and have fun again.
