A young man went to visit the oldest and wisest man in the village for some advice on how he could become rich.
-Treasure is yours to be had at the top of Yonder Mountain,‖advised the wise old man as he pointed to a tall mountain in the distance.-You must travel on foot to the top of the mountain.There you will find riches beyond your belief.Once you leave the top of the mountain,whatever remains will be lost forever.‖
The young man could hardly wait until the morning when he was to meet with the wise old man for final instructions.When he arrived at the wise old man's home,he saw a long,thick log lying on the ground in front of the house.
-You must carry this log on your journey to the top of the mountain,and it is a necessary part of your journey.You must take it with you to the top of the mountain to claim your treasure.‖explained the wise old man.
The young man was not pleased with this sudden surprise,but he respected the wise old man and as he lifted the long,heavy log onto his shoulders and struggled down the road towards the mountain,he realized that the trip would not be as easy as he thought.
After he was walking for a while,a woodsman came up to him and said,-It looks like that log is pretty heavy.Would you like me to cut some of it off to make it lighter?‖
The young man was exhausted so he said,-I suppose that a little bit cut off the end wouldn't hurt.‖And the woodsman cut two inches off the end.
A while later the young man met a farmer on his way back from the fields.And the farmer helped him cut two inches off the end.
At the bottom of the mountain,the young man met up with a trapper who helped him cut four more inches off the log.

Paragraph 1:
The young man continued to struggle to climb the mountain.
There at the very top of the mountain was the most beautiful fortune he had ever seen.The young man jumped with joy,but later he found all that stood between him and his fortune was a wide opening in the earth.He thought he could go across the opening with the log taken from the wiser's house,which meant he could get the fortune.

Paragraph 2:
The excited young man lay the log across the gap and discovered that it…was eight inches too short to span the distance.Seeing this,the young man regretted not listening to what the wise man said.Had he not cut the log eight inches shorter,he would have got his treasure.He went up to the top of the mountain with the purpose of getting his treasure.However,he failed due to his laziness.
