Most people aren't familiar with where Lesotho is.When I was asked to go there as a teacher,I didn't know either.Lesotho is a small,mountainous country surrounded by its larger neighbor,South Africa.Winters are so cold and dry that trees can only survive if they're near a spring or river.So when I met Wilfred,who had many trees to plant on his way home,I had to see what he'd done. My brother and I made the two-hour hike one winter morning.As we came around the mountain,we saw lots of trees.We continued on and reached Wilfred's home in an area surrounded by a wonder:a garden with peach and pear trees. I was amazed at what Wilfred had achieved,but he said most of the work was done by his father,Mr Pitso.I felt great admiration for Mr Pitso.He mentioned that he started planting peach trees 20 years earlier.At first,people were resentful,and several times others removed his trees because they felt it was unfair for him to have something they didn't have. To solve the problem,Mr Pitso gave his trees away freely to his neighbors.He also organized tree-planting days at the primary school where he worked and started a tree-buying cooperative to get funds from the government.He showed people how they could make tree growing profitable by selling fruit and firewood.In times of drought,although he was in his sixties,he carried buckets of water from the small stream to his trees. As we left,Mr Pitso told us that before he died,he hoped to see the barren valley around his home covered with trees.When faced with challenges in my life,I remember Mr Pitso's dream.The poor primary school teacher living in the mountains of Lesotho gives me hope. 24.Why did the author decide to visit Wilfred's home A.To help Wilfred plant peach trees.
