Long long ago, an elephant and a monkey lived in the same forest. They were good friends, but both of them were very proud. The elephant thought of himself strong, and the monkey felt himself quick.

One day they went to ask the old bird, “Can you tell us which one of us is more important?” The old bird didn"t give them the answer at once.  However, he asked them to get some bananas on the other side of the river and bring them to him.
So the elephant and the monkey went to the river, but the water ran so fast that the monkey was afraid.
“Get on my back, Monkey,” said the elephant, “I shall take you there. I"m big and strong, and I can swim across the river.”
Soon they got to the other side. The elephant tried to reach the bananas, but they were too high. “Wait a minute, please. I can climb,” said the monkey. He quickly ran up the tree and gave the bananas to the elephant.
Then they came back happily to the old bird and showed him the bananas. “Now, you see, the elephant is strong,” said the old bird with a smile, “but he couldn"t get the bananas; the monkey is quick, but he couldn"t, either. Only you two could do the work well when you helped each other.”

One young excellent person was trying to find a high position in a big company. It was the director who would make the final decision.
The director discovered that the young man did an excellent job in his college, which interested him a lot.
The director asked, “Who paid for your college?”
The young man answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was just my mother.”
“What did your mother do?” The director seemed surprised.
“She is a clothes cleaner,” the young man answered, with no feeling.
“Have you ever helped your mother wash some clothes before?”
“Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She could wash clothes faster than me,” the young man seemed puzzled (迷惑) when answering.
“Well, now I need you to do something. When you go back home today, clean your mother’s hands and see me tomorrow.”
The youth was happy when hearing this because he felt that his chance of getting the job was great. When he went home, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but happy. With mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
