There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Peter said. “Did you see a    27     beautiful?” His father asked. “Yes, I saw the blue sky, the w    28     clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers. They m    29     a wonderful picture.” Peter answered. “That’s enough!” His father smiled and said. “Please remember, my son. For often, getting what you want is not the most i    30     thing. You didn’t reach the top of the mountain, but you got a lot on the way.”
