     Tom is the son of a farm owner. One New Year's Day, when he was 15, his father asked him to

work on the farm for one year when he was free. Tom was unhappy with his father's idea. "That isn't my

job,  I have too much schoolwork to do." Hearing this, his father said,"I promise (许诺) to give you the

best present if you can finish one year's work." Tom thought for a while and agreed.

     Starting one Saturday, the boy got up early and worked hard until evening, just like any other farmer.  

Time passed quickly. Tom's crops (庄稼) grew well. On the last day of the year, the father called his son

to him, "I'm happy to see that you have worked very hard in the whole year," said the father, "Now, tell

me what you want. "

     The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread made from his wheat. "I've already got the

best present. No pains, no gains. I think this is what you wanted me to know." His father was quite

pleased to hear that.
