An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the1got up early and read his Bhagavad
Gita (薄迦梵歌).
One day the grandson asked, 'Grandpa! I try to read the book like you2I can't understand it, and I
forget it easily. What's the3of reading it?'
The grandfather said, 'Take this coal (煤炭) basket down to the4and bring me back a basket of
water.'
The boy did as his grandfather5 , but all the water ran6he got home. The grandfather laughed,
'You'll have to move faster next time.'
This time the boy7faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was8
to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, 'I just want a basket of
water. You're not9 hard enough.'
The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the10into the
river and ran hard. But there wasn't anything in it again. He said11,'Look, grandpa, it's useless!'
'Watch the basket.' said the grandfather.
For the first time the boy12the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into
a13one, inside and out.
'Boy, you might not understand or remember14when you read the book, but when you read it, you
will be15 , inside and out. That's what you got from it.'
