Once there lived a wise (聪明的) man in the country. 1．, his son had no goals (目标) in life and wasn’t happy. That made him worried. As the years passed, the man was more worried and 2．. One day, he handed his son a map and said, “I want you to go and find a treasure (财宝).”

The son set out eagerly (急切地). He travelled really far across forests and mountains. 3．, he reached the place and began to dig. He dug and dug, but 4． was found. Tired and upset, he decided to go back home. On his way back, he noticed dancing birds and 5． flowers. He met happy 6． in the fields. He found everything nice.

He got home and his father asked, “How was your journey to the place? Did you enjoy it?” “Of course not, I was worried that someone else would find the treasure 7． I did. But I enjoyed the journey back home and forgot the pain of not finding the treasure.” The son kept telling his father what he noticed on 8．way back.

“Nice things are always there,” the father smiled. “My son, I want you to have a goal. If you don’t have a goal, you won’t set out. But 9． the goal is the only thing in your mind, you’ll miss (错过) something nice and won’t be happy. So, remember: it’s 10． to have a goal and enjoy the journey in life than just to have a goal.”
