My granddaughter, 10, was very happy the day before yesterday because her mother and the mother of one of her classmates took them to a park and a Pizza Hut （比薩餅屋）to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the two girls played heartily – no homework, no extra-curricular（課外） skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “ Olympic mathematics” （數學奧賽） courses.
Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw my granddaughter sitting by the small desk in her room doing math exercises or writing a compositions given by her teacher. On the white wall behind the desk are some words she wrote. One sentence reads: “ Why is the exercise endless?”
Poor girl!
Although teachers have stopped giving after-school homework to primary school children, parents have been forcing their kids to take part in different kinds of extra-curricular training courses-learning English, painting, music instrument （樂器）, weiqi, “ Olympic mathematics” and so on, every Saturday and Sunday.
Are these extra-curricular courses really necessary in children’s education? The answer is certainly “ No”. Take the so-called “ Olympic mathematics” for example. These courses are very difficult for the children to understand. Often, they are difficult even for adults （成年人）.

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷倉），they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out．A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another．Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped．But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（擠）out at the mouth of the hole．With some efforts, the mice finally got out．However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately．Instead, me chased after the other near the mouth of the hole．It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other．
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look．They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape．
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought．During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice．
One serious American official said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard．”The others thought for a while and said：“
That was why!”
A smart French said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that
of husband and wife．”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense．
A Japanese said：“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son．”Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable．So they expressed agreement another time．
At that moment, one Chinese asked：“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？ ”
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless．The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer．
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship．
Instead, it is based on no relationship．
