　　A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man,“What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”

　　“There is a fig（无花果）tree, sir,”he said.

　　“A fig tree?”the rich man was very surprised.“Why, how old are you, may I ask?”

　　“Ninety years old.”The old man said.

　　“What!”cried the rich man.“You're ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it'll take years to give fruit. You certainly don't hope to live long enough to get any fruits from this tree.”The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile.“Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy?”“Sure.”the rich man did not know why he asked this question.“Then tell me this,”he said.“Who planted the fig trees?”“who? I don't know.”“You see, sir,”went on the old man.“Our forefathers（祖先）planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”

　　The rich man was quiet and said,“You are right, my good man. We should do some good things for the people after us. Thank you very much.”Then he rode away.

Mr. Ma, a famous mental(心理的)doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”

Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. One patient, a middle school students from Xi’an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.

A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often felt worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won’t go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their secrets.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma offered some good ideas to young people:

Talk to your parents or teacher often.
