One day a teacher told his students a story: There were three dogs chasing a woodchuck (土拨鼠)，which ran into a hole in a tree. Soon from the tree out ran a white rabbit. The rabbit ran away very fast. Pursued and driven by the three dogs the rabbit climbed up a tree. But it couldn’t stand steadily so it fell down to the ground. Before the dogs came to realize what had happened the rabbit ran away quickly again…

Finishing the story the teacher asked “Are there any problems with the story?” One student said “Rabbit cannot climb trees.” Another said “It’s impossible for three dogs not to catch a rabbit.”

When the students couldn’t find any more problems with the story the teacher said “There is another problem. Where did the woodchuck go? The woodchuck was the goal that the dogs were chasing. But because of the rabbit’s appearance the dogs changed their direction and our thoughts unknowingly changed too. The woodchuck disappeared in our minds.”

Such is life. While holding on to our goals we are sometimes fascinated by surrounding(周围的) beauties or interrupted(打断) by minor details so we forget our goals.
