    Once Effendi had a joke with the Prime Minister (宰相). He said that the Minister would die the next day. The next day, the Minister fell to the ground from the horse and really died. When the king learned this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Effendi at once.

    When Effendi was brought to him, the king shouted angrily, “Effendi, since you knew when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death. Say it out, or you'll die today.” Effendi looked at the king for a while. Then he answered, “But how can I know？I'll die two days earlier than you.” The king was afraid that if he killed Effendi, he himself would die after that. He thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as possible, so he let Effendi go.

My Plan for the Weekend

I live next to a school. There's a wall between my neighborhood and the school. 

One day, on my way home, an apple flew towards 1 . It just landed(掉落) in front of my feet. How lucky I was! I guessed a troublemaker(捣蛋鬼) on the other side threw 2 apple over the wall. Thinking it was a small accident, I didn't care 3 it. 

A week later, when I 4 the same place, an apple came flying again. This time it landed on the roof(屋顶) next to the wall. I was a bit angry, 5 again, I did nothing. 

Yesterday, while I was walking back home, I saw another apple. It was flying so fast! Seeing that, I was 6 than I was last time. If he kept doing this 7 action might hurt others. So I decided to teach him a lesson. 

I told my friends about it first. They advised me 8 the apple back next time. But I didn't want to do that. An eye for an eye ends up 9 the whole world blind. 

Finally I planned to call the school to find out who was the troublemaker. And I wanted all the 10 to learn from his mistakes.
