An old man lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Every morning the grandpa got up early. He would sit at the kitchen table and read his books. His grandson wanted to be just ________ him and read the books as well.
One day the grandson asked. “Grandpa! I try to read the books, but I don’t understand them. I forget what I read as soon as I ________ the book. What is the good of reading the books?”
The grandpa replied, “Take this basket down to the river and bring me ________ a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time.” He sent the grandson back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was ________ before he returned home. The old man said, “You’re just not trying hard enough.” He went out of the door to watch the boy try again.
The boy again put the basket into the river and then ran hard. But when he ________ his grandpa, again there was nothing in the basket. Out of breath, he said, “See, Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So you think it is useless?” the old man said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It was ________ dirty. It was a clean one now.
“Boy, that’s what happens when you read the books. You might not understand or remember everything. But after you read them, you have ________ yourself,” the grandpa said.
