One day we went to pick up our grandson Mark at his school.It was a beautiful spring day so we went to the garden.
We noticed that Mark was sad.He said， "There is nothing special about me.Well，I am smaller than my elder brother and I am bigger than my younger brother."I knew he felt that he，the middle son，was not getting the same attention.
We walked a little farther into the woods when Mark asked me if we could throw rocks into the stream （小溪） to see which one would go to the farthest.I agreed.Then Mark said，"I am going to throw the biggest rock，because I know it will go the farthest."Mark picked up the largest rock he could find and threw it.Although it made a very big splash （溅），it didn't go very far.Mark thought for a minute and said，"I am going to throw a little rock instead."He picked up a little stone and threw it but it didn't go very far because it was too little.
I thought this was a very good chance to teach him.I said， "Why don't you pick up a medium-sized rock and see what happens？"
Mark picked up a medium-sized rock and threw it.Mark said， "Look，the middle-sized rock went the farthest!"
I smiled，"You see，Mark，you are like the middle-sized rock.In this situation the little rock was too light and the big rock was too heavy，but the middle-sized rock was just right."
"So，I am special？"
"Yes，Mark，everyone and everything is special and has a special purpose，especially you."
