The Young Man and the Old Man A proud young man was looking for a new pastime. He heard about people hiking in the national parks and decided to try it for himself. As he started his stroll, an old man walked up to him. "Don't go this way," the old man said. "Beware. The paths are not clear. It's easy to get lost!" But the young man disagreed with the old man and bragged that he had a perfect understanding of the park. "I've studied maps of this area, he told him. "I believe I have a thorough knowledge of these trails. I won't get lost!" The old man listened to the young man and then admonished him for his pride. "I have walked these trails my entire life," he said. "If you think you will be safe, then go ahead." The young man ignored the old man and started along the trail. Whenever he had to choose between an easy or difficult route, he always chose the more difficult option. In addition, he was not conscious of which direction he was going. After a while, he decided to return home. Because his course through the wilderness was so indirect, he had no idea where he was. He looked at his map, but could not pinpoint his location. He walked one path after another but soon realized he was lost. The sun was going down, and sudden strong winds gave a hint that it might rain. Immense clouds filled the sky. Awesome sounds of thunder were audible from all directions. They echoed off the mountains. The thought of the eventual storm tormented the young man. He hurried in one direction but soon switched out of confusion. Luckily, the path led him out of the park. When he arrived home, he knew that he had acted like an idiot. He realized he was lucky to be alive. He decided to listen to people with more experience than himself.

一个骄傲的年轻人正在寻找一种新的消遣方式。 他听说有人在国家公园徒步旅行，于是决定亲自去试试。 当他开始散步时，一位老人向他走来。 “别走这条路，”老人说。 “小心。道路并不清晰。 很容易迷路的！”但年轻人不同意老人的观点，并吹嘘自己对公园非常了解。 “我研究过这个地区的地图，”他告诉他。 “我相信我对这些小径了如指掌。 我不会迷路的！”老人听了年轻人的话，然后告诫他不要骄傲。 “我一生都在走这些路，”他说。 “如果你认为你会安全，那就去吧。” 年轻人不理睬老人，沿着小路往前走。 每当他不得不在一条容易或困难的路线中选择时，他总是选择比较困难的那条。 此外，他也不知道自己在往哪个方向走。 过了一会儿，他决定回家。 因为他穿过荒野的路线是间接的，他不知道自己在哪里。 他看了看地图，但无法确定自己的位置。 他走了一条又一条路，但很快就意识到自己迷路了。 太阳要下山了，突然刮起的大风预示着要下雨了。 天空布满了大片的云。 四面八方都能听到可怕的雷声。 它们在山间回响。 想到最后会有暴风雨，这个年轻人很苦恼。 他匆忙朝一个方向走，但很快就从混乱中调转方向。 幸运的是，这条小路把他带出了公园。 当他回到家时，他知道自己表现得像个白痴。 他意识到自己能活下来真是太幸运了。 他决定听取比他更有经验的人的意见。
