Once there were five beggars(乞丐).One was English, one Turkish, one Greek, one was an Arab and one was Persian. 1. They promised to share what they had and help each other in difficult times.
2. They talked about what to do with it. At last they decided to buy something to eat.
“Let’s buy some grapes!”said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted “uzum”, the Arab“aneb”, the Greek “stafelea”,and the Persian wanted“angur”. They did not understand each other’s language very well. 3.
While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along. He knew all the five languages. 4. After they told him, he said,“Give me your coin. I will buy what you want.”
He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. 5. They all asked for the same thing, but the word for“grapes”is different in different languages.
If people could understand each other, there would be no need to argue and fight.

Early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps us to have good health. We all need fresh air. It makes our health better to take morning exercises. The air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easy to learn something by heart. Early rising makes people be able to plan the work for the day. We can’t work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in the spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning. Early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and eat our breakfast. So the popular saying says,“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
