   “He told me not to tie my horse to the same tree 9his horse was wild and would kill my horse.” “Oh.” said the judge. “So he warned you. And can you expect to get money from him?” The rich man said 10 and left silently.

    There was once a bad king. All his people hated him very much. One day in a summer he was swimming by himself in a river. The king was a 1 swimmer, but when he was in the middle of the river, suddenly he didn't feel well. He cried out "Help! Help!" At that time two farmers were working in the field near the 2. They ran over, jumped into the water and saved the king. They didn't know that he was the king 3 they pulled(拉) him out of the water.

    The king was very happy, so he said to the farmers, "You have saved my life. Now you may ask for anything, and I'll give it to you."

    One of the farmers said, "My son broke his 4 last week, and he can't walk. I'm very sad, you know. Please send him a good 5. "The king agreed. Then he said to the other farmer." And what can I do for you, old man?" The old man was very clever. He thought for a few minutes and then he answered, "You can do a very important thing for me," "What's that?" asked the king. He thought that the old man would ask for some 6 or something else.

    "Don't tell anybody that we have saved you," the old farmer answered.

Rick and Henry are good friends. They play together every day. 

One night, Rick calls Henry, "Tomorrow will be a fine day. Shall we go out to play football? ""Henry likes football, so he says, "OK. Let's meet at 2: 30 pm. "

The next day, Rick comes to Henry's home on time. But Henry is lying on his bed and playing mobile games. He says to Rick," ▲ "

"OK, "says Rick. He waits for about one hour, but Henry still doesn't come out. At this time, Henry says, "I don't want to go out now. Why don't you go alone? "

Hearing this, Rick goes away angrily(生气地). He says to himself, "I'm not going to play with him any more! "

In the evening, Henry's mother has a talk with him. "You can't break your words like this, or you will have no friends. "Henry feels worried. He says, "I'm wrong. "Then he calls Rick and says sorry to him. And he goes to Rick's home early the next morning!
