One day a rich man met Sam. The rich man asked,"I hear you"re very clever and nothing is difficult to
you. Can you tell me why you are so clever?"
Sam answered with a smile,"Oh, I am not clever. Instead, you are too foolish." The rich man became
very angry.
Sam said,"Please don"t be angry. If you don"t believe me,now let me ask you a question. If you put
together one group of sheep,how many groups of sheep do you have?"
"Why! That"s an easy question. One and one is two, anybody knows that. I have two groups of sheep."
Sam laughed and said,"you are wrong. When two groups of sheep is put together, there is still one group.
That"s the easiest question in the world."
It was four in the afternoon. The sun was shining (照耀) and it was very hot.
Few people wanted to go out. Mrs. West had to meet her father at the train station. The old man wanted
to see doctors in the city hospital.
Now she was walking in the street. There were no trees and she felt very hot. But she was very fat and
couldn"t walk fast. She didn"t find a boy walking just behind her. And she met a friend and said hello to him.
"Who"s the boy behind you, Mrs. West?" asked the man.
Now she saw the boy. She was angry and asked,"What are you walking behind me for, boy?"
"There"s no shade (阴凉处) in the street, you know," answered the boy."It"s cool behind you, I think."
