There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quite and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plants and animals live in and around the lake are dead. There are on birds because all he fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark, and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger king of seed this year, the crop will be between 25to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.
All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others.
Some people have minds that since only in certain situations. A young people with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid, with a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody.
Other people may fool you into expecting too much of their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this: you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be.
So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
