有意义的英语小故事！很急~跪求！

A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked

that is so you can borrow some money

to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed

to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room

and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
一个男人下班回到家很晚，很累，发现5岁的儿子在门口等他。“爸爸，我可以问你一个问题吗？”男人回答道：“当然可以，什么问题？”“爸爸，你一小时赚多少钱？”“如果你一定要知道的话，我一小时赚20美元”“哦”，小男孩低着头，又抬起来说：“爸爸，我可以借10美元吗？”这位父亲很生气：“如果你问这个问题的唯一原因是你想借钱买一个无聊的玩具，你现在可以回你的床上去了。”小男孩静静地走回他的房间关上门。大约一小时以后，男人的气消了，开始思考。也许他真的需要10美元买些什么，而且他也不经常向他要钱。男人走到儿子门口，打开门，“你睡着了吗？”他问，“还没有，爸爸。”小男孩回答说。“我一直在想，也许我刚刚对你太严厉了。”男人说，“这是你要的10美元。”小男孩站直了，微笑着：”谢谢你，爸爸！“他高兴得大叫。然后，他从他的枕头底下掏出一些皱巴巴的纸币。男人看见儿子有钱，又开始生气了。小男孩小心翼翼地数着钱。他抬起头来看着父亲。”你为什么要钱？你已经有一些了？“父亲问。”因为我还不够，现在我够了。“小男孩回答说，”爸爸，我已经有20美元了。我可以买你一小时的时间吗？明天请早点回家，我想和你一起吃晚饭。"

opportunity and challenge（机遇和挑战）这篇可以参考了：）~~
The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years. While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society, people begin to reconsider the question of "survival". "Survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore. Instead, we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of competition.
Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved. It might appear in an entrance exam, in a regular class, or in a small public speech. Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a competition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth. Of course, if we take the competition as an opportunity, we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us become the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed. As a matter of fact, opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and welcoming than challenges. The truth is, however, we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads. The other fork, ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges", offers much more chances for the walker in competition.
We have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold a thoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things.
We believe in the old saying, "Opportunity knocks but just once," so we always welcome it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it. The most devout believer of this saying are the graduates. Why? There are quite a number of them who pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood into developed areas under any circumstances, even though there will be too much uncertainty for their choices. Innumerable cases go straight to the same miserable end: God seems to refuse to help too many of His worshipers.
In conclusion, to define the quality of competition seems to be far from valuable sense, for no matter what a competition is, an opportunity or a challenge, it will create nutritious elements for our growth.
So take a positive look at everything around. Keep our face to the sunshine, and we will not see the shadows.

A child was careless Ramie stabbed, he rushed home and told his mother: "I only lightly Pengyi what, it was my painful thorns."
