Once I was a little acorn(橡树果). All summer I stayed with my mother, the oak(橡树) tree. One autumn day a s1 wind came, and I fell to the ground. I felt lonely. The wind was so strong that it rolled me over and over. I didn’t like that. But the wind only took me to the g2, not far from my mother tree.
One day a man put his foot on me, so that I went down i3 the earth. It was dark there. Then winter came. It was very cold, and I went to s4.
When spring came, my long sleep was over. The sunshine and the warm r5 woke me up. I began to grow. Soon I put some little g6 leaves up through the earth into the sunshine. How glad I was!
Many years have gone by. Now I am a tall tree with strong boughs(大树枝). Little birds make their h7 among my boughs. Now I have many little c8 of my own—little acorns. In the autumn, a strong wind b9 them down to the ground. Some of them may be carried far away. Some of them may become t10 in new places. Like me, they will start a new life.

"That's true. As you noticed last night, some camels sat down on their own, while others some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after lots of effort. Then after a while, you would see that even though they didn't sit , some of the camels finally sat down on their own," the old man said.
James nodded. The old man added, "Problems are just like camels. Some problems are solved by , some are solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best. Leave such problems to time. At the time, these problems themselves will come to an end."
