Read and answer.(阅读短文,回答问题)A stupid farmer
In a faraway village, a farmer used to help a businessman without asking for anything in return. The businessman wanted to thank the farmer, so he gave him a big healthy goat.
The man carried the goat on his shoulders(肩膀)and starts walking back home. Three naughty boys saw him and wanted to trick(捉弄) him.
The first boy came to him and asked,"Why are you carrying a dog on your shoulders?" The man got angry and told the boy that it was a goat and not a dog.
As he kept walking, the second boy passed by and asked why he was carrying a dead calf(小牛) on his shoulders. The farmer answered angrily, "You fool! Can't you see this is a goat?" However, the second boy's question made the farmer feel worried and afraid.
After walking for some more distance, the third boy came towards the farmer, and asked with full curiosity(好奇心), "Why are you carrying a donkey on your shoulders?"
Finally,the worried farmer got very afraid,thinking the goat was really a monster(怪物).
