There was once a famous king whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he
36 to become the master of the whole world. So he raised a great
37 and made war on other countries. He conquered(征服,打败) many kings and
38 many cities. But at last his army was beaten; and Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of
39 .
For a long time he wandered in
40 from place to place. His enemies were
41 him. He was about to lose all hope.
One day he was
42 under a tree, thinking of his failure. He had now been a wanderer for twenty days. He couldn’t
43 any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (树干) of the tree. He looked more
44 and saw it was an ant,
45 a grain of wheat(麦粒) as large as itself.
There was a
46 in the tree only a little way above, and that was the home of the ant. “You are
47 , Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he
48 , the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it
49 held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane
50 the little insect. It tried the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time — but always with the same
51 . Then it tried the twenty-first time.
52 , one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place where it had
53 so often. The next minute it climbed
54 into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you’ve taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again,
55 I succeed.”
And this he did.
