A
Lin Tao is a smart boy. He sometimes helps with the work in his father's wood factory after school.
One day, he asked his father, “Dad, what is the value of a person in this world?”
Mr. Lin was surprised by this question. He thought for a while and said, “It's very difficult to estimate the value of any person because everyone is priceless.”
Lin Tao could not understand, “If all people are priceless, then why is it that some get more respect while some get less?”
Mr. Lin pointed at a piece of wood in the factory and asked, “How much does this piece of wood cost?”
“About 100 yuan,” Lin Tao answered.
“If I make it into a table, then how much will it cost?” his father asked.
Lin Tao thought for a moment and said, “I think it will cost at least 500 yuan in the shop.”
His father continued (继续) to ask, “What if I carve (雕刻) it into a big lively bird? Then people can buy it and enjoy watching it at home. What will be its price?”
“I don't know!” said Lin Tao. “It may be 1,000 yuan or more.”
Mr. Lin smiled and said, “The value of a person is just like the wood. What truely matters is not what he is now, but what he can make of himself.”
