Many years ago in a small village，an old man was hired （雇用） to clear up the spring （泉） on the mountain.
    He walked around the spring every day，and swept away all the leaves and other dirty things in the water.Soon，beautiful swans （天鵝） came to the clear spring，and the village became a popular place for visitors.
    Years later，one evening the town leaders （領(lǐng)導(dǎo)） had a meeting.When they looked at the salary （工資） list，one of them said， "Why do we keep hiring this old man year after year？I don't think we need him or his work."Later，they asked the old man to leave.
    For several weeks，nothing changed.When early autumn comes，the leaves began to fall off the trees，and leaves are here and there in the spring.A few days later，the water was much darker.Only a few months after the old man left，all the swans left，also the tourists.
    Quickly，the leaders held a special meeting and asked the old man to return to the village.
    So，my friends，no matter（無論） how small your work or your life seems （看起來）to be，never overlook it.Anything we can do will make a difference.
