Bella Brown bites her nails(指甲) a lot. Mrs Brown is worried. “Biting nails is a bad habit. It’s hard to stop,” she says.
“I know, but I always forget. Why is it so hard to remember?” asks Bella.
“Look at this path(小路). I walk with a wheelbarrow(手推车) through it every day. The wheelbarrow’s wheel makes a rut(车辙) in the middle of the path. The rut gets deeper every day. Now, the wheelbarrow can’t get out of the rut easily. Bad habits are like the rut. The more you do them, the harder it is to stop. But don’t worry. We’ll help you,” Mrs Brown says.
Mrs Brown tries first. She says, “If you don’t bite your nails all day, I’ll give you 10 cents(美分) at night.” But it’s not easy to change. Bella still bites her nails. Grandma has a good idea. She gives Bella ten cents—one for each nail—every morning. If Bella bites a nail, Grandma takes one coin(硬币) back. The sound of the coins in Bella’s pocket(口袋) helps her remember not to bite nails.
It’s hard to stop a bad habit. Bella gives back some coins. But in ten days, she has 93 cents! And she has nice nails now.
