Bob likes climbing, but he was sad that there wasn't one climbing club in his school at first.

At the beginning of the second year of middle school, his school offered rock climbing lessons in order to encourage students to exercise. He joined at once.

He had planned to wear a jacket, a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. But before the first class, he was notified to wear hiking boots and prepare warm clothing, such as a sweater.

In class, the coach said, "Rock climbing needs strength, speed, courage and persistence." It interested him.

The students were asked to run 1,000 metres first, and then climb with a rope. When Bob finished running, he almost lost his breath and got bored. He thought it was less interesting than before. The coach noticed that and asked him, "Why do you want to take rock climbing lessons?" "I come for fun, sir." "Is that fun?" he asked. Bob shook his head slowly. The coach then explained patiently, "That's because you stop halfway. You know, beautiful sights are always on the top."

After hearing his words, Bob made up his mind to finish his journey. When he got to the top in the end, he felt really excited. Although feeling sore in his muscles, he was determined to keep going.

Sometimes it's hard to reach the top of the mountain, especially on windy days, but it's a pity to stop halfway, so don't give up.
