The fisher who draws in his net too soon,
漁夫太快收網(wǎng),
Won't have any fish to sell;

The child who shuts up his book too soon,

Won't learn any lessons well.
哪課都學不好。
If you would have your learning stay,
如果你想記住學到的知識,
Be patient,—don't learn too fast:

The man who travels a mile each day,
一個人每天走一英里,
May get round the world at last.
總有一天會走遍世界。
