I am Wilson.My sister and I spent our summer holidays with our uncle this year. He is a scientist and he loves to collect stones.
One day, he bought us two bags and asked us to go to the mountain with him. We walked the whole day. On our way, he put stones in our bags. To our surprise, he also took some stones out from them. But we thought he had just found better stones.
When we returned home, we were very tired. The bags were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we took them off. But our uncle's bag was half empty.
“Why did you give us so many stones "we asked.“I didn't. You did," he said. “You didn't know it but I gave you a little attitude (态度)test today.I listened to every word you said. Whenever you said bad words,I added a stone to your bags. Whenever you talked about something good, I took out a stone. And now look at your bags."
Our bags were full of stones.
“Your bad feelings are just like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in your bags. The more sad feelings you have, the heavier your mind will be," said our uncle.

Both of my two sons were oronto before, but they moved with us to Ottawa when the ere quite young. They went to school there , grew up there uter, one of my sons went to Canada's east city called our Halifax and the other moved to the west to Vancouver.My wife and I were left in the middle.
As we nearly retired (退休)，we started to think where we should spend our years. For several reasons we decided to live in a small town on Vancouver Island. It was close to my sons. However, the son moved to Hollywood soon after he had got another job there. I helped him move.
We still lived a happy life in our little west town but we paid a price. We missed some important events such as our grandchildren's birth ; We have missed watching them grow up; we have missed dinners and basketball weekends with them. Our home, while very comfortable, was also very quiet.
Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week o more with him trying to catch up on everything we've missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren,who were about their twenties.
Luckily , both our sons are doing well and grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and they love us. We're very happy but there are times I think about the things we didn't see: the tears or the smile on the granddaughters' face, their school time, my son's joy at successes in work.
Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price.
