When I was 14，I gave up study in the high school.I was traveling from Houston to California in order to follow my dream，journeying with the sun.
    On the way，I met an old man，a bum （流浪漢）.He stopped me as I passed by.He asked me if I was running away from home，I suppose because I looked so young.I told him， "Not exactly，sir."
The bum told me that he had something great to share with me.He said "There are two things that I want to teach you，young man，and they are these：No.1 is to never judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you." He followed with， "I'll bet（打賭） you think I'm a bum，don't you，young man？"
    I said， "Well，uh，yes，I guess so，sir."
    "Well，young man，I've got a little surprise for you.I am one of the richest men in the world.I have probably everything any man could ever want.But a year ago，my wife passed away.I realized to be a bum on the streets.So，you see，don't ever judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you."
    "No.2 is to learn how to read，my boy.For there is only one thing that people can't take away from you，and that is your wisdom."

He is a wise man because he told the writer two important things.One is to never judge a book by its cover，the other is to learn how to read.
