Many of us enjoy watching wild animals. We can learn a lot from them.
Geese(雁),for example, teach a very god lesson about teamwork. In fall, Canada geese fly to the warm south o get away from cold winter in the north. They lit off in no order. Yet quickly they form a V shape, with one bird leading.
This V shape allows geese to save energy. When the front bird moves its wings up and down, the force(力量)of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird in front has the hardest job. When it gets tired, it moves behind. and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel a great distance. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70% farther without a rest than birds flying alone.
During the long flying journey, geese communicate with one another. They honk(鸣叫)to encourage the birds to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up while working towards a common goal.
What have we learned from the lovely geese's experience and skills?Work together!Whether it is in our personal lives or our jobs, we need other people. We need the spirit of teamwork!

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the right answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy. "She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon. "
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated(仔细考虑)the right answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes. "She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not right because there are many people who are blind. "
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child. "
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was very hurt. Everybody was crying. My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion(迷惑)on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life. "I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder. "
I asked, "Is it because it holds up our head?"
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends so that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it. "
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is care for the pain of others.
