“Mother, what are the clouds made of?Why does it rain?Where does all the rain go?”Little William Jones was always asking questions.At first his mother tried to answer all his questions, but after he had learned to read, she taught him to read books.
“Mother, what makes the wind blow?”he asked.
“Read and you will know, my child, ”his.mother answered.
“Who lives on the other side of the world?”
“Read and you will know.”
“Oh, mother, I would like to know everything.”
“You can never know everything, my child.But you can learn many things from books.Read books that are true.Read about things that are beautiful and good.Do not waste your time in reading foolish(愚蠢的)books.Do not read bad books, they will make you bad.”
So William Jones went on reading and learning, and he became one of the most famous scholars in the world.The king of England made him a knight(爵士)and called him Sir William Jones.Sir William Jones lived nearly two hundred years ago and he was famous for his great knowledge.It is said that he could speak and write forty languages.
