The boy walked to the river and came back with a bowl of water. The old man asked him，“Did
you notice the beautiful flowers along the road and the birds singing in the trees？” The boy could say nothing about them because he paid much attention to the bowl in his hands.
The old man smiled and said，“Bring me another bowl of water and enjoy the flowers and the singing of birds.”

looked at his bowl，he found most water was gone. He forgot all about his bowl when he enjoyed the beautiful things along the road.
