"Save the whales!"That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said．Jake liked having a picture that said something important：that showed he cared．He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale，one right in his own neighbourhood．

It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales'coming．A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown．All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them．They were expecting a beautiful show，better than a movie，but nothing they'd have to do anything about．

An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery，to help move the animal．Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach，so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers．At least，Jake thought，they could help in some way．

Back at the beach，they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed．It was getting dark．Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand．The rescuers would not give up．After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water．Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea．It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea．Then，in what looked like a jump of joy，it rose high above the water﹣a thank﹣you to those who had worked so hard to save his life．

    Here is a story：A man sees a butterfly（蝴蝶）．The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis（蛹）．

Feeling sorry for it，the man decides to help．He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily．Surprisingly enough，the butterfly is unable to fly．If the butterfly doesn't struggle（挣扎；奋斗） to leave

the chrysalis，it can't fly!The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly．Similarly，the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly．

    When people are young，meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face

life．When we look at successful people，we see that the most successful of them are people who have

had to struggle．One famous businessman，who now owns many big supermarkets，used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young．Another successful man is Dennis．His father died when he was only twenty．His father's death forced him to maturefast．He had to bring

up a family of nine people．He took up the challenges and overcame them．Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives．

    Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them．So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges．They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges，like rock﹣climbing，camping，volunteer work and so on．However，just passing exams will not prepare a person for life．We must meet and overcome challenges．The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow．For countries to continue to become successful，it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them．
