Long ago, there lived a learned man in Greece（希腊）. He was well-known for his wide knowledge. And lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students with all his heart and answered their questions with great patience.

　　One day a student asked him,“My dear teacher, didn't you say you have many more questions than we do? But we think our students have a lot more than you. ”With a smile, the teacher drew two circles（圆圈）----one is as large as a big plate, and the other smaller.

　　“Of course, I've learned much more. But don't think I know all you know. Now, look at these two circles: inside the big one is my knowledge of things, and inside the smaller one are yours. Out of the circles is what we don't know. My circle is larger, so its line is longer. That means I have more opportunities（机会）to meet with what we don't know. And that's why I have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you'll have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

With more and more farmers working in big cities, their children go into the cities, too.However, problems appear. One of these problems is that is difficult for these children to receive education in cities.
Luckily, there are some free schools for them, but they are not enough. Ten-year-old Li Xin is one of the lucky girls who get a chance to study in one of these schools. She is very happy. She studies in a school specially for migrant workers’（外来务工人员的）children. For children like Li Xin who don’t have enough money, these free schools are their best choice, because they have free classes, textbooks, uniforms and meals in the schools.
But there is a long way to go. The free schools for children from migrant workers’ families are not enough because to run such a school is not easy and needs lots of money. A school officer said they needed at least one million yuan to run the school. “Luckily, some people and companies donate（捐赠）money, used books and a lot of other things to help us. There are also some volunteers teachers,” he added.
Anyhow, we must try to give these children an equal（平等）chance to get better education so that we can make our society harmonious（和谐的）.
