Long long time ago, a man called Tom got a book. It was about the secret of a special pebble (鹅卵石) that could turn anything into real gold. The special pebble was lying among other ones on the beach. Because they looked the same, the special pebble was almost impossible to be found. If people touched the special pebble, it would feel warm. However, other pebbles were cold.
After learning the secret, Tom was excited. He dreamed of becoming rich. So he sold all that he had, bought garden forks, went to the beach and started picking up pebbles. On the first day, he picked up pebbles and then he threw them into the sea if there were not special. Again and again, the special pebble didn’t appear. But he didn’t give up and then he continued.
Several years later, suddenly he picked up one pebble which was warm. But because he had such a strong habit of throwing one pebble after another without thinking, he threw this special one into the sea as usual. He lost the chance to be rich. What a pity!
In fact, good chances do come in our life at any time. Try to hold them as soon as possible instead of missing them.
