Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldnt have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience. Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me,“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you cant see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.” At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life.

Young people and their parents dont understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down. There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened. When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didnt have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didnt seem to make much difference. Our children grew up in a world at war. They didnt know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didnt want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it. Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. Theyre making people listen to them.
