quickly.
When the farmer was old and knew he was going to die, he called his three sons to him and said, "My sons, there' s a lot of gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you want to have it. "
The sons tried to get him to tell them the exact place where the gold was hidden, but he said nothing more.
After the farmer was dead, the sons went to look for the gold. Since they didn' t know where the hiding-place was, they decided to begin digging all over the orchard. They dug and dug, but no gold was found. Finally they had to give up the attempt.
The next summer, the fruit crop was the biggest they had ever had. This was because of the thorough digging the orchard had got.
When the three sons saw the great amount of money they got after they sold the fruit, they suddenly understood what their wise father had meant when he said. "There's gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it."

A few stars are known which are hardly bigger than the earth , but the majority1 are so large that hundreds of thousands of earths could be packed2inside each and leave room to spare;here and there we come upon a giant star large enough to contain millions of millions of earths. And the total number of stars in the universe3is probably something like the total number of grains of sand on all the seashores of the world. Such is the littleness of our home in space when measured up against the total substance of the universe.
1. the majority 大多数 2. pack 装入 3. universe 宇宙
