A dog owner (主人) says that his pet is a smart (聪明) one. When given money (当给它钱时), it could go to the shop to buy a newspaper (报纸). His friend gives some money to the dog. The dog takes (拿) the money and goes away, an hour later (一小时后), the dog does not come back with a newspaper. His friend asks (问) the owner the reason (理由) for this.
“How much do you give him?” asks the owner.
“Five dollars (美元)”
“Well, that is the reason. When you give him five dollars, he goes to the cinema.”
1.The dog likes money very much. (There is a bad king and all his people hate him. One hot day, the king goes to swim by himself in a river. Suddenly he feels very week and can’t move his hands or legs. At this dangerous moment, two farmers are working in the field and see everything. Of course, the farmers don’t know the man in the river is a king. So the farmers jump into the river and save the king out of the water.
The king thanks the farmers and says, “I’m your king. Ask for anything, and I will give it to you.”
The first farmer says, “My father and mother are sick in bed, can you give me some money to send them to a doctor?” The king agrees. Then he asks the second farmer, “How about you? What do you want?”
The farmer looks worried and unhappy, “Don’t let the other people know I see you.”
