What good does reading the book do?”The
20、grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

22、nt want a bucket of water, I want a basket of water. Youre just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, its useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa
23、said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.
