   Once upon a time, there was a young man. He lived in a small village. He was the only child in his family, so his parents loved him very much and did everything for him. He just hung out every day, doing nothing.

One day, he met an old man in his village. The old man asked him, ”My boy, why don’t you work hard to achieve something when you are young?”

The young man replied without care, “Why do I have to be in a hurry? I’m young, so I have plenty of time! Besides, I haven't made any plans for my future yet. "

"Time waits for no man!" the old man said. Then he asked the young man to go into a dark house with him.

"I can't see anything!" the young man said

The old man lit a match and said to the young man,  "Before the match goes out, pick something in the house as you like. "

By the weak light, the young man tried to see the things in it. But before he found something, the match went out, and the house became dark again at once.

“Before I could get something, the match had gone out,” the young man said angrily.

The old man said,” My boy, your youth（青春）is like the burning match, which can only last for a short time. So you shouldn’t waste your time!
