The Worker
All l over the world,some people work with their hands,and some work with their brains.The world
needs both kinds of workers.

![ img ]
Sometimes,the people working with their brains think that they are more important.One day,a lawyer
asked a boatman to take him across the river.“ Do you know math and science?" he asked.“ Did you
study law or languages?he went on.
“ I don't need to learn these skills,” said the boatman.“ You are wasting your life,young man,” said the
lawyer.

![ img ]
Then the boat came to the middle of the wide river.The water was deep there.The boat was old and
weak.Soon they saw a hole in the boat.Water slowly began to fill the floor of the boat.
The boatman looked at the lawyer.“ Excuse me.Did you learn to swim?" asked the working man.

The lawyer answered,“ I am an educated man.Why do I need to learn swimming?
" That is too bad,dear educated man.The water is coming in our boat.Our boat is sinking,and the river
is deep and wide,,” said the boatman.
