Our free time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. I couldn't forget the life there although I didn't live there for a long time.

    "I'll visit your father tomorrow evening, Richard." said Miss Young. "I'll ask him a good way to educate you."

A man and his wife were very poor. They kept hoping for new clothes and good food. The man enjoyed eating and he especially liked pancakes. One night a young woman came to their house and told them that she would let them have three wishes. They could wish for anything they wanted.

The man had just finished eating a little bread for his dinner and he was still hungry. He said,"I wish I had a big pancake!"

Suddenly there was a pancake on his plate.

"You fool!" his wife cried. "You could wish for a house full of wonderful food, but you wished for a pancake. I wish that pancake was on the end of your foolish nose."

Immediately (立即) the pancake was on the end of the man's nose.

Then the man and his wife started blaming (责备) each other. "It's your fault!" the man cried. "No, it's your fault!" she answered. What could they do? The pancake was still on the husband's nose.

"Oh!" the wife cried. "I wish none of this had ever happened!"

Immediately the pancake was gone, and the man was saying, "I'm still hungry. How I wish I had some pancakes!"

But of course nothing happened.
