21-year-old Ben Carpenter from Michigan, US has trouble in walking.1 around the town he uses a wheelchair.

One day, Ben was crossing a road when a big truck2 out of a gas station. The driver didn't see Ben. The driver's cab was very high 3 Ben was very low down the road.

A moment later the truck bumped into the back of Ben's wheelchair.4 wheelchair became stuck in the front of the truck. The truck continued down the road. Soon it reached a speed of 50 mph. But the driver still knew 5 about the man in the wheelchair.

At the same time, drivers in the cars 6 in the opposite direction could see Mr Carpenter in his wheelchair. Many people thought they were dreaming,7 phoned the police.

At first, the police thought it was a joke. But the calls about the wheelchair kept coming.

8 , a police car was travelling down the same road in the opposite direction. The police car turned and finally managed to make the truck 9 .

When the driver saw this, he was too shocked 10 a word. Surprisingly, the young "passenger" was quite relaxed. "He lost his hat," said one police office, "but he didn't get hurt."

Mr. Black retired (退休) five years ago. Now he lives a happy life. He exercises in the morning. He plays with his grandchildren on weekends. Sometimes he goes to parties.

One Sunday evening, after Mr. Black had dinner, he went out for a walk with his granddaughter Jane. They saw three beggars (乞丐) outside the park.

"Why do they beg in the street?" asked the little girl.

"Because they're poor," answered Mr. Black.

"Why don't they find any work?" "Because they're lazy."

"Do you know who is the laziest of them?"

"That's easy," said Mr. Black, he came up to them, took out five dollars and said, "I'll give the money to the laziest of you. Tell me who he is."

"I lost my job a year ago," the first beggar stood up quickly and said, "of course I am!"

"I haven't done any work for two years," the second beggar sat up and said, "give me the money."

The third beggar went on lying on the ground and said, "Come over here, sir. Put the money into my bag!"
