Once upon a time a man became a great archer(射手).He asked the king to announce him as the greatest archer of the country. The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sir. I know an old man who lives in the forest. He is a much greater archer. Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years.”

The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him. Then one day，when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this old man，then I will be the greatest archer.”

The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder. The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him. He shot an arrow. The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it. It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man very deeply. The old man came，took out the arrow and said,“I knew that some day or other you were going to do this. That’s why I have not taught you this secret. There is no need to kill me. My Master is still alive，and I’m nothing before him. You must be with him for at least thirty years. And he is very old，So go fast! Find the old man!”

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”

I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”

He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”

My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.”I drove home as fast as I could.
