There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy son． The businessman wanted his son to realize the value of labor．

One day， he told his son， "Today， I want you to earn something． If you fail， you won't have your meal tonight．"

The boy didn't want to find a job， so he asked his mother for help． She gave him a gold coin． In the evening， when the father asked his son what he had earned， the son showed him the gold coin． The father then asked him to throw it into the well （水井）． The son did as he was told．

The father guessed that the gold was from the boy's mother． The next day， he sent his wife to her parents' home and asked his son to earn something． Since no one helped him， the son had to go to the market to look for a job． A shopkeeper told him that he would pay him a coin if he carried heavy tools for him． The son accepted． As he returned home and gave the coin to his father． he was asked to throw it into the well． The boy cried， "Dad! My body is aching． I'm tired． How are you asking me to throw my hard﹣carned coin into a well？"

People read books less often in these days． With the invention of radio， television and most recently， the Internet and computer games， it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity． However， I believe that books are an important part of our lives．

Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course． Books can make people cleverer， because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were．

Everything in today's society requires reading． Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills． Someone could not understand themand become very sick or even die．

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading． Sometimes， you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them．

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time． Even if we don't read books， we still read every day， and reading books can strengthen （加强） our abilities． Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time．

With a book， you can travel anywhere you want， do anything you want， and talk to anyone you want． Reading is very important in our lives， no matter your age． So I think people should read books．
