一道英语 阅读
A young traveler was going hiking through the Alps.He came to a large area of land without anything growing.It was the kindof place you hurry away from.
Then,suddenly,the young traveler stopped.Inthe middle of this large wasteland was an old man who was bending down.On hisback was a bag of acorn(橡树粒).Inhis hand was a four-foot length of iron pipe(铁管).
The old man was using the iron pipe to punchholes in the ground.Then from the bag he would take an acorn and put it tinthe hole.Later the old man told the traveler,“I’ve planted 100,000 acorns.Perhapsonly tenth of them will grow.” The old man’s wife and son had died,and thiswas how he chose to spend his final years.“I want to do something useful,” hesaid.
Twenty-five years later the traveler who was getting oldreturned to the same place.What he saw surprised him.He could not believe hisown eyes.The land was covered with a beautiful forest two miles wide and fivemiles long.Birds were singing,animals were playing,and wild flowers perfumedthe air.
The traveler stood there thinking about the poor land thatonce was; a beautiful oak forest stood there now—all because someone cared.
