I have had my share.I have a partner in this business, and it is right that the remaining fifty should be given to him.”“What!” said the rich man, “Is there another such madman in the world? Call him in, and let us see him.”“Y ou need not go far, sir,” said the fisherman. “He is your own porter. He would not let me pass until I promised that he should have half of the price to be paid for my fish.”“Call him in,” said the rich man angrily. “He shall have his fifty lashes.”The fifty lashes given, the porter was dismissed and the fisherman was paid for his fish.11.

He began to breathe when he was born, and he will not stop until he dies; still he does it without thinking about it.See how long you can hold your breath.In some places men dive in the sea for the pearls（珍珠）.
