“I will never find time to learn this difficult lesson,” said Robert to Frank as they left school. “I can't do it by tomorrow.”
“You have ten minutes before lunch. Why not begin right away?” asked his brother.
“Ten minutes! That's nothing. Besides, I must have a run with Rover now,” replied Robert.
After lunch, the two boys walked to school again. Frank took out his book and began to learn part of it while he walked along. “What a bookworm(书呆子)!” said Robert, laughing. He looked for birds' nests in the trees all the way to school.
“Come out to play soccer!” shouted a group of school friends when they finished school for the day. Robert ran away with the boys. _Frank_promised_to_join_them_in
The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. But when they returned to school the next day, Frank knew his lesson perfectly. However, Robert told the teacher that he did not have time to learn it.
“How did you find time, Frank?” asked his teacher.
“I had 10 minutes before lunch yesterday; 15 minutes when I walked back to school; and another 15 minutes before soccer. Then I looked over my lessons before I went to bed; and took 10 minutes before breakfast this morning to make it perfect.”
“That makes an hour's preparation,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time. Robert, go to the back of the class. You will spend break time learning that lesson. And you will continue to do that until you have learnt this important lesson; You'll never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. Take care of the minutes.”

Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales(童话故事). However, when we grow up, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn’t always win, and that a frog is just a frog. Even so, our love for fairy tales never dies. Just look at cartoons like The Lion King and Frozen which have millions of fans young and old.
Fairy tales are all about the real world. But if children only see just one side of life, adults usually see the other. For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the views of the evil(邪恶的) queen. Unlike the children’s version(版本) of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she experiences great lossers, leading to her “evil” side. And in US writer James Garner’s bedtime story books, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood(小红帽), but with a modern touch: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn’t safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性别歧视者), which connects with today’s women’s rights movement.
Fairy tales aren’t just stories our parents read to us at bedtime. They may usually start with “Once upon a time...”, but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn’t always need a “Happily ever after” to be a good one.
