Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. But his son always wasted his time doing nothing meaningful (mean). As the wise man grew much older (old), he began to worry about his son's future.
One day, the man said, “My son, you have grown up. I want you to find the real purpose of your life.” Then he handed his son a bag filled with clothes and food. The wise man continued, “I hid the treasure someplace. Here is a map. Go to find it.”
The next day, the son excitedly set off. With many people's help, he finally (final) reached his destination(目的地), but he found nothing. He was so tired that he decided to return.
On his way back, he often stopped to enjoy the beautiful flowers and watch the sunset. He learned to cook meals and wash clothes by himself (he). He also learned how to protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time he helped them in return.
Two years later, he got home. He said to his father, “Dad, excuse me for not finding the treasure.”
“It doesn't matter. How was your journey?”
“At first, I was worried somebody else would find the treasure. So I hurried to the place,” the son continued(继续). “But I really enjoyed the journey on my way home. I made friends and saw wonders happen (happen) every day. I also learned different skills (skill). These made me forget (forget) the pain(痛苦) of not finding the treasure.”
“That is why I sent you to find the treasure,” the father said.
