A Chinese Story---for 30 days-22

Sunday, February 9th,2014
Once upon a time, a small horse and her mother lived in a house near a river. One day, the old horse was working in a mill for long time. "Could you cross a river and send a bag of flour to the village?" the old horse told the small horse and pointed a village across the river.
The small horse went to the river for sending the bag. While he came near the bank of the river，he met a cow. "May I cross the river?" the small horse asked the cow. "No problem. it is deep as my hooves." the cow said，then she went away. The small horse was crossing the river. "Stop the boy! Stop the boy!" a squirrel yelled. "Yesterday my guy drowned in the river." The small horse didn't  know how to do and decided come back to ask his mother. "The cow is taller than you and the squirrel is shorter than you. If you want to know whether you can cross the river, you have to try by yourself." The small horse went to the river again. He carefully went ahead in the river and safely reached other bank. The river neither was deeper than what the squirrel said nor shallower than what the cow said. If you really know somethings, you have to practice by yourself.
