A Lesson from the Elder
Grandfather was an elder Cherokee Native American who had a wrinkled, nut brown face and kind dark eyes. His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and asked the many questions that children would ask.
One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story. “Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present---a jack-knife. I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight. Some town boys came by and saw me. They surrounded me and started saying bad things. They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife. The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys. I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing. I hate them. I hate them all."
The elder Cherokee, with eyes that had seen too much,
lifted his grandson's face so his eyes looked into the boy's face. Grandfather
said, "Let me tell you a story. I, too, at times, have felt a great hate
for those who have taken 
so
much with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down and does not hurt
your enemy. It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have
struggled with these feelings many times. It is as if two wolves are inside
me.... It is a terrible fight.
One wolf is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way. This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth, and faith.
The other wolf is full of anger. The least thing will set off his fiercest temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority.
Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my spirit. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too.”
The boy looked into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied.... "The one you feed."

If you go to London, you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road.You will also see lots of bikes because more and more people travel by bike.There are a lot of reasons for this.First, it's not expensive to buy a bike and it is quick, too.You often have to wait for a bus for half an hour.After you get on the bus, there are so many other buses and cars on the road that the bus moves very slowly.The underground train is quick but often crowded.
I traveled to work by bus for about four years.I often arrived at work late and tired.Then one day, about two years ago, a friend of mine said, “I go to work by bike every day.Please come and join me.” “But my bike is old, and there are so many buses and cars on the road.I'll feel frightened，” I answered.“You needn't feel afraid.If you follow me and we ride slowly, you will be fine，” he said.
The next day I bought a new bike.Although we went slowly, we arrived at work soon.It took 40 minutes to go by bus, but only half an hour by bike.
Now I love riding a bike to work.I arrive at work quickly and I've saved a little money, and more importantly, I feel healthy.Many people think my idea is good and maybe you will see more bikes on the road in the future.
