A girl complained to her father about her hard life. She didn't know what she had to do and wanted to
give up. She felt tired of fighting and fighting. One problem had been finished but another came over.
Her father, a cook, took her into the kitchen. He poured water into three pans and boiled (煮沸) them. After
boiling, in the first pan was put some carrots, the second was put some eggs and the last was put with coffee.
The girl waited impatiently (不耐烦的), confused by what her father did. About 20 minutes later, her father
took out the carrots and put them in a bowl. He took the eggs and put them in a bowl. After that the coffee
was poured into a cup. "My sweet heart, what do you see?" he asked.
"Carrots, eggs and coffee," she replied.
Her father told her to close her eyes and asked her to touch the carrots. She did so and felt that the carrots
were soft. After that he asked her to take the eggs and break them. After peeling (剥开) them, she got the eggs,
cooked and hard. The last,the father let her smell the coffee. She asked, "What did you do this for, Father?" He
explained that each had the same unlucky experience-the boiling water,but each had a different result. The
strong and hard carrots had become soft and weak. Thefragileeggs became hard after being cooked. The
coffee was very special, they could change water. "Who are you?" asked her father. "When bad luck knocks
at your door,what is your decision? Are you carrots, eggs or coffee?"
