钓鱼是他最喜欢的运动，他曾多次因钓鱼而得奖。
这个夏天天气很好，看起来很适合钓鱼，所以他决定去环游全国，在每条河里花上几天的时间钓鱼。
不幸的是，他运气并不好。
他仅仅只捕到一些小鱼。
他十分失望，当正准备回去的时候，他听说附近有一条大河全都是鱼。
他很容易的找到了那条河并且沿河流穿月乡村来到了一个位置，在那里河流流过了一个农场。
他决定请求农夫允许在这条河里钓鱼。
“你已得到了我的准许，”农夫说，“但你要小心。
有好几年我都阻止我的孩子靠近这条河流。
”“这条河很危险吗？”李问。
“不是河很危险，”农夫说“是鱼很危险。
它们是巨大的。
他们太大了以至于我的孩子不能抓住它们。
”李十分兴奋。
所有捕鱼者都想抓真正大的鱼。
“他们有多大？”他问。
“是这样的，”农夫告诉他，“上周我丢了一个超过三英尺长的，昨天我丢了一个超过四英尺的。
”“运气真差，”李说。
“我讨厌钩住了一条鱼后再让他跑了。
”“谁和你说丢鱼了？！”农夫说，“我失去的是我的两个孩子！”2、卖狗有一天，一个人带着一条大又丑的狗进了宠物店。

Tom changed his window and looked, "steak - $4 per pound."."An hour later, the sign said in the supermarket, "steak -- 3.75 dollars per pound."." Ten minutes later, Tom said on the window, "steak -- 3.50 dollars per pound."."Five minutes later, the supermarket said, "steak -- 2.50 dollars per pound."." 20 minutes later, Tom's window sign said, "steak -- 1 dollars per pound."."The supermarket manager crossed the road to Tom's shop. "This price cut must be stopped," he said. "My steak costs $4 per pound.". I sold it for 2.50 dollars a pound. I lost every minute of my money!""I'm going to stop cutting interest rates on all my prices," Tom said. "If you're willing to stop, you have to cut interest rates."."The supermarket manager agreed, and the two shook hands.Tom smiled. He didn't lose any money in a steak. He doesn't sell steak.9. seize the dayTom Jefferson likes to go fishing. He spends most of his life by the river.He likes to be alone in the fresh air, where no one disturbs him, and time flies for him.However, he is not a good catch. He didn't go fishing the wrong bait, and the cable was too fast.For whatever reason, he always catches big fish for them.But he just didn't confess it to his wife. He felt that if his wife knew he was wasting his time, he would complain incessantly. The wife will not let him go fishing, or even let him take her shopping! It was important for Tom, and his concealment made his wife think he was a good catch.To keep it hidden, Tom bought fish in the fish shop on his way back from the fishing. Then he would say to his wife that he caught big fish and ate big fish at dinner. One night, Tom, who was nothing, stopped at the fish shop on his way home."I want three perch." He said to the clerk. Throw it at me, and I can say to me again that I caught them. "The clerk smiled and said, "I advise you to buy a good salmon.".""Why?"" Tom asked."Your wife has been here an hour ago," she said. "If you come.",I'll make sure you catch a salmon."10. short holidaysAaron works for a company in a city. He worked very hard and was looking forward to his holiday.He used to go to the beach before taking a holiday. But one year, he saw an ad in the newspaper: "enjoy life in the country.". For a few weeks on the Lee farm, you can enjoy: delicious food, fresh air, horseback riding, walking, fishing. Reasonable price.""That's a good idea," he thought. "I'm going to spend a month in the house, enjoy the ride, and go for a walk and go fishing. It must be different from sitting on the beach."Four days later, he came back."What happened to Lee House?"" His friend asked him, "don't you like the country life there?"""Country life is good," Aaron said. "But there is one problem.""What?"""On the first day, a sheep died.". Our meal is roast mutton."Fresh meat is best.""I know, but on the second day, an ox died.". So we had roast beef.""You're so lucky.".""You don't know," said Aaron. "Third days, a pig died. We'll have roast pork.""Eat a different barbecue every day.".""Let me finish," Aaron said. "Fourth days, the farmer died. I dare not stay there for dinner."11. a free meal"I'm hungry," pat said to his friend, "Mike.". "Let's go somewhere to eat."They walked along the road until they came to an expensive restaurant."That's all right," said Pat. "This is the only place we need."."He opened the door and they went in.The head waiter came up to them at once."A table for two, gentlemen?" he asked."Yes.". Best table."He led them to a table near the window. He handed them the menu and left.Pat and Mike looked at him carefully, then ordered the menu, the most expensive dishes, and a bottle of good wine.An hour later, they almost finished their meal. This is the best food they've ever had, and now they're having dessert.Suddenly, pat looked into his plate carefully."What's this?" he cried, pointing to something small and black. The head waiter is hurrying to their table."Look at this!" pat said to him in a loud voice. "There's a dead fly in my dessert.". That's terrible. I think it's a good restaurant, but I'm wrong."The foreman was very embarrassed. I'm sorry, sir. Don't talk so loud. You upset other customers. I'm sorry about the flies. I'm afraid there are mistakes, even in the best restaurants. We shouldn't, of course, free your meals."Soon after that, Mike and pat passed by a hotel."Let's go for a drink," Pat said. "I still have a dead fly."12. birds (unable to find the original text and translation onthe Internet)13. a generous giftA woman, a church charity, a fundraiser. The money she collects will be given to a poor child without parental care.She went to find residential apartments and houses. She knocked on the door, to the people for money.She always says the same thing."Good morning.",I'm collecting some church charities. Please give generously. We need 5000 dollars." Then she took out a collection box. Most people put a few coins into a box.An artist lives in an apartment. He opened the door."Good morning," she said. "I'm collecting church charities. Please give generously. We need 5000 dollars."The artist thought for a moment and then said, "sorry, I don't have any money.". However, I'll give you a picture.

13. A Generous GiftA woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them.She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money.She always said the same thing.“Good morning, I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously.We need ＄5,000.” Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box.An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door to her.“Good morning,” she said. “I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need ＄5,000.”The artist thought for a moment, then he said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money. However, I’ll five you a painting. It’s worth ＄400.”The woman thanked the artist and took the painting away.A week later she called on him again.“I’m sorry to trouble you again,”she said, “but we still need more money. I need another ＄100. Can you help?”“Of course,”the artist said. “I’ll increase the value of my painting to ＄500.”14. MagicThe children were having an English lesson.“This week,” the teacher said, “I want you to write a story about your family. I want you to tell me about your parents and your bothers and sisters.”Lisa raised her hand.“What kind of thing shall I write about my father?” she asked.“Well,” the teacher said. “Write about his work. What is your father’s job?”“He’s a magician,” Lisa said.“A magician! How interesting,” the teacher said. “Does he do magic tricks on the stage?”“Yes,” Lisa said. “He’s been on television, too. He’s a famous magician.”The teacher was very interested in this. “Tell the class something about him,” she said. “What is his most difficult trick?”Lisa thought for a moment, then she said, “He saws people in half. He puts them in a large box and then saws the box in half.”“That’s a very clever trick,” the teacher said. “I’m sure he must practice it a lot.”“Yes, he does,” Lisa said.Then the teacher asked her, “Who else is in your family?”“There’s my mother,” Lisa said, “and I’ve got a half-brother and two half-sisters.”15. Helping HandsJane Warner’s husband, Jack, was sent to prison for two years for stealing. While he was in prison, Jane had a very difficult time.She had two children, but no job. Her husband, of course, did not make any money either. The only money she had was a small amount from the government.“I don’t know how we will manage,” she wrote to her husband in prison. “I get only enough money to pay the rent. There isn’t enough money for food. I think I’ll have to plant vegetables in the garden. They’ll grow quickly. We can live on vegetables.”The garden was quite large, and much of it was covered with grass.When Jack Warner received his wife’s letter, he replied to it immediately.“Don’t dig up the garden , ” he wrote. “That’s where the money I stole is hidden.”All letters written by the prisoners were read by one of the guards before they were mailed.When the guard read Jack’s letter, he took it to the head guard.When the head guard read it, he telephoned the police. He told them what Jack had written to his wife.The police immediately went to Jack’s house. They took forks and shovels with them. They dug up the garden, looking for the money, but they did not find anything.When they had gone, Mrs Warner wrote to her husband.“The police came today,” she wrote. “They dug up all the grass. What should I do?”Her husband wrote back immediately, “Plant the vegetables.”。
