We may learn from the text that Sue Townsend is ________.A. a writerB. an actressC. a musicianD. a director（B）A long time ago, far, far away, there lived two brothers. One of them was quite rich; the other was very poor. The rich brother lived on a little island; he was a seller of salt. He had sold salt for many years and had got a great deal of money. The other brother was so poor that he had not got enough food for his wife and children. One day he got into his boat and sailed across to the island where his brother lived.“Please, brother, I have no food in my house,” said the poor brother.“Please give me some money.’’“ I will not give you any money,” the rich brother said,“but I’ll give you some bread.”The rich brother threw a loaf of bread to him, and he went away.While he was on his way to his house, he met an old man sitting by the side of the road.Knowing that the old man had not had anything to eat for two days, he cut a piece of the loaf and gave it to the old man.When he had finished, the old man said, “Now I will do something for you. I will show you the home of the fairies who live underground. If you show them the bread, they will want to buy it from you. But don’t let them give you any money, ask them for the little mill that stands behind their door. Do as I say, and you will become rich.”The poor brother got the mill and found the old man waiting for him.“That it is,” the old man said.“Only good people can use it. You must never let any other person use it.’’It was quite late when the poor man reached home.“Where have you been?” said his wife.“There is no fire and no food in the house. The children are cold and crying for food. What is that you are carrying? It looks like an old mill.”“It is a mill,” he said.“Now watch. Say what you want, and you will have it.”He put the mill on the table and began to turn it. Out of the little mill came wood for the fire, oil for lighting and cooking, clothes, corn, and many other good things.“I t is a magic mill,” said his wife,“Now we are rich.’’The poor man soon became as rich as his brother. He did not keep all the good things for his own family. He gave many things to those poor friends.Learning about this, the brother got in his boat and sailed across the water. He said to his brother, “I see that you are now quite rich, You have a little magic mill. S ell it to me.’’“I cannot sell it,” said the poor man.“It must never leave my hands.’’Then the rich brother sailed away home. But later one dark night, he came back, went very quietly into the house, and stole the mill.But the bad brother wanted very much to make the mill work. He did not wait until he reached home. While he was sailing in the boat, he tried to make it work. “Salt,” he said.“Salt is what I sell, and salt is what I want.” Then he began to turn the mill.Soon the boat was full of salt. Then water came in and filled the boat. The boat went down, down to the bottom of the sea, carrying with the thief and the magic mill.There, at the bottom of the sea, the mill is still turning, making more and more salt.That is the reason why the water of the sea is salty.4.
