So he told them that they were in a dnagerous situation. In the end, he said,“I'm a middle-aged man with two small children and a wife. I'm sorry to tell you that there are only three parachutes on the plane.”One of the passengers said,“I'm great man! I'm the cleverest man in the world, an the world can't do anything without me !”With these words he followed the pilot and jumped out in a hurry with another pack of parachute. The other two passengers, an old man and a young soldier, were quiet for a moment.“My son,”he said,“I'm very old. I'm ready to meet God. Don't worry about me, young man. Jump out with the last parachute. Be quick !”“You don't have to think so,”the young soldier answered, smiling“That world's cleverest man jumped out just now only with my field pack.”

　　A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man,“What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”

　　“There is a fig（无花果）tree, sir,”he said.

　　“A fig tree?”the rich man was very surprised.“Why, how old are you, may I ask?”

　　“Ninety years old.”The old man said.

　　“What!”cried the rich man.“You're ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it'll take years to give fruit. You certainly don't hope to live long enough to get any fruits from this tree.”The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile.“Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy?”“Sure.”the rich man did not know why he asked this question.“Then tell me this,”he said.“Who planted the fig trees?”“who? I don't know.”“You see, sir,”went on the old man.“Our forefathers（祖先）planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”

　　The rich man was quiet and said,“You are right, my good man. We should do some good things for the people after us. Thank you very much.”Then he rode away.
