When I was a child in Minnesota, watermelons were too expensive for my family. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman. He had a large store in Saint Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would give us a call. My father and I would go to Bernie's place. We would sit on the dock(码头) happily and get ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take a big watermelon out, cut it up,give both of us a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we three would put our faces into the watermelon, eating it happily.
In my father's eyes, Bernie was a real rich man. Later I learned that my father thought Bernie was rich because of the way he lived his life. Bernie knew when to stop working, get together with friends and enjoy his“watermelon”.
Some of us,no matter(不管)how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat our “watermelon”. If you don't take the time to sit on the “dock” and enjoy life's small pleasures, your work is probably injuring your life.
When I grew up, because I was too busy making money as a doctor,I forgot the lesson I once learned on the dock. Well, now I've relearned it. Though I'm still busy working as a doctor, I will try to slow down and take the time to enjoy the small pleasures of my life.
