Mr.
Holland’s Dream
When Mr. Holland was a young man, he played a lot of football, and he had always been thin and very strong. But then he worked in an office for many years, and he drove to work in a car, so when he was forty, he was fat and very soft, and he didn’t wish to get fatter and softer every year.
One day one of his friend said to him: “Would you like to be thinner, Fred?”
“Of course, I would”, Mr. Holland answered.
“Well, his friend said, “stop going to your office by car, and get a bicycle”.
Mr. Holland had not ridden a bicycle for many years. “It’s very hard to learn to ride a bicycle again at your age,” his wife said.
But it was not too hard for Mr. Holland to do. He usually sat in his living room and read the newspapers in the evening, but he bought a bicycle for his birthday and practiced riding it every evening instead. He hoped that it would help him to get thinner, and he got a lot of pleasure from it.
He found little roads which were not really very narrow, but were too narrow for cars, and there he got away from the nasty noises of the city, which were becoming too much for him. They were not really very loud, but they were too loud for Mr. Holland.
Then he began to go to his office by bicycle. Sometimes all the cars stopped at a red light, and he went past them to the front, because his bicycle was narrow. Then he was very happy.
Yesterday he stopped at a red light, and a man came up behind him on another bicycle. He stopped too and said to Mr. Holland, “Have the police taken your driving licence away too.”
Mr Holland was not fat when he was young. Then he became fat and soft because he sat too much. He wanted to get thinner, and a friend told him not to use his car, but to go by bicycle instead. Mr Holland's wife thought that it was too hard, but it was not. Mr Holland began to ride to his office with his bicycle, but another man thought that he did this because the police had taken his driving licence away.

A Shepherd, his sheep and wild goat
A shepherd took his sheep out to pasture, but when it was time to return to the sheep pen, he found that some wild goats had become mixed up with his flock. Nonetheless, he was very pleased that the flock had grown by itself, and he closed the goats into the pen along with the sheep.
The next day was rainy and the shepherd decided not to go out. He gave his sheep only a small handful of food, while he gave much bigger rations to the goats. He thought that if he treated them well, they would stay with him. In spite of this, as soon as the shepherd opened the gate, the goats ran out and he was unable to catch them again.
"Ungrateful beasts," shouted the shepherd after them." I treated you better than the other!"
"That's why we're going," answer one of the goats. "If you prefer us new animals to your sheep, how will you treat us if you find some more animals in your flock?"
So do not be too happy if someone shows you that they prefer you to their old friends. You too will soon be an old friend and could be replaced just as easily.
