There was a post（柱子）by his desk, and there was a nail（钉子）in it. He took a walking-stick and said, “Everyone has three chances. If anyone can hit the nail on the head with this stick more than once, I will give him the job. ”
The boy thought it was very easy. They all tried, but nobody could make it. So the old man said, “I’m sorry I can’t take any of you. ” And they left.
He kept the advertisement in the papers, and the next morning many more boys came, and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before. The boy hit the nail successfully for three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.
“Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again. ”
The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job. Whatever the boy had to do, he tried to do his best. It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.

In the class, one by one each student to correctly recite (背诵) the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑). To my , Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just !”But she , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”
“Because I want to be like you guys! To be .” Tina said.
Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers! We get in all the time.”
“I know,” Tina said as a big spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.
Tina got only a few that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.
