Mr. Frank shot well and once he had come in fourth in a competition.

     Then he went to a big city on business. There he joined the local rifle club. The club had a very good team, which used to take part in a lot of important shooting competitions. One of these took place while Frank was with them. But one of the members of the club's team suddenly fell ill just before the match. The captain had heard of Mr. Frank. He therefore invited Mr. Frank to take the sick man's place.

    Mr. Frank felt greatly happy to be asked to shoot for such a good team, but he also felt very nervous, because he was afraid of making a fool of himself.

    Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life.   31         these proverbs, there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop   32    (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.

    It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960 — 1279) was very anxious to help   33         rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about   34          day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.

    One day, he came up with an idea   35             he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.

    He was very tired   36          doing this for a whole day,   37         he felt very happy since the crop did “grow”   38            (high).

    His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.

This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their   39            (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often   40             (result) in the contrary to our intention.
