2．
There was a man who had four sons．One year he sent them each，in turn，to go and look at
a pear tree．The tree was very far away．The first son went in the winter，the second in the spring，the third in the summer，and the last in the autumn．
When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe what they had seen．The first son said that the tree was ugly．The second son said，no，it was full of green buds（芽）．The third son disagreed．He said it had many beautiful blossoms（花）and smelled so sweet．The last son disagreed with all of them．He said it was full of fruit．
The man then explained that they were all right，because they had each seen only one season in the tree's life．He told them that they could not judge a tree，or a person，by only one season．People can only measure（衡量）who they are and the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life at the end，when all the seasons are up．
If you give up when it's winter，you will miss the hope of your spring，the beauty of your
summer，and harvest of your autumn．Don't let the pain（痛苦）of one season destroy the joy of all the rest．
