Fly like a geese

 


Years ago, a poor shepherd led two young sons to make a living by herding sheep for others. One day, they drove the sheep to a hillside. At this time, a group of wild geese crowed and flew over their heads and quickly disappeared into the distance.

   The little son of the shepherd asked his father, "Where is the goose going?"

   "They are going to a warm place, settle down there, and spend the cold winter." said the shepherd.

   His eldest son blinked his eyes and said enviously: "If only we can fly like wild geese, then I will fly higher than the wild geese, go to heaven and see if my mother is there."

   The youngest son also said to his father: "It’s so good to be a goose that can fly! That way, you don’t need to herd sheep, and you can fly where you want to go."

   The shepherd was silent for a while, and then said to his sons: "If you want, you can fly." The two sons tried, but they didn't fly. They looked at their father suspiciously.

   said the shepherd, let me fly to you. So he flew twice, but did not fly. The shepherd said with certainty that I couldn't fly because I was too old. You are still young. As long as you keep working hard, you will surely be able to fly and go where you want to go.

   The sons have kept their father's words firmly in mind and have been working hard. When they grew up to fly, they invented the airplane. They are the Wright brothers of America.



   [Successful interpretation]

   The shepherd used his wisdom to light a torch of faith for his sons, guide them to the sky of dreams, and make their dreams come true.
