(一)You're Right， Sir
Mr Jones had a farm outside the town. His wife was often ill and his children were young. So he couldn't look after it by himself. He employed(雇)Jack and Harry as workers. He tried to pay them less though they worked hard. The food for the two young men was bad and they lived in a short and wet house on the farm. They tried to find a way to make reprisals(報複).
Christmas was coming. Mr Jones said he had no money to pay Jack and Harry. So they couldn't buy any birds for their families. When Jack was taking some vegetables to Mr Jones， he saw two fat geese(鵝) hung near the window on the second floor. He told his workmate about it. They decided to take them away.
It was dark when the two young men got to Mr Jones' house that evening. Jack placed a ladder against the wall and Harry was going upstairs while a policeman was passing there.
"What are you doing there？" the policeman stopped to ask.
Harry was too frightened to say a word. Jack answered in a hurry， "Mr Jones often helps us. So we've brought two fat geese to him."
The policeman had a look at his watch and said， "It's ten past two. They must be asleep. Don't disturb(打擾) them late at night. Bring them here tomorrow."
"You're right， sir，" Harry said. He came down with the two geese and then hurried off with Jack.

Bill， Robert and Mike study in a middle school in a town. And they're all in Grade Three. During their holidays they came to a village by a large lake. They hired(租) a boat and went fishing in the lake. They happened to come to an out-of-way(偏僻的) place. They were very happy because there were plenty of fish and it was easy to fish there. Before long they got a lot of fish. Bill wanted to go on fishing but Robert stopped him. He said，" Look up！ There're many clouds in the sky and I'm sure it's going to rain."
"Let's leave here quickly， "said Mike，" Or we'll be drenched(淋濕)."
When they left the place， Bill said， "We'd better make a mark(記號) here so that we'll easily find the place tomorrow."
"All right，" Robert said happily，" Let me do that."
After they had returned to the boat， Bill asked，" Have you marked the place yet？"
"Yes， I have，"answered Robert，"I've drawn a line with chalk on the side of the boat."
"How foolish(傻的)you are！"said Bill，" If it rains tonight，the raindrops will wash the line off. And how can we find the mark tomorrow？ You must cut a line with your knife！"
"Neither of you is clever！" Mike said angrily， "How can we find the place if we hire another boat tomorrow？"
