    There is an old farmer, with a horse which is almost as old as himself.

    He leaves home one morning with his son to sell the horse before it died. Father and son walk, because the farmer does not want the horse to be too tired.

    They meet two men on the road who say, “Why are you walking, farmer? You have a horse, It's a long way to market(市场). ”The farmer knows that it is true, so he rides on the horse, while his son walks.

    Then they meet two old women, “What are you doing, farmer? Can't you see how tired your boy is?" so the farmer gets down, and his son rides it.

    Next, three old men stop them, one says, “Why are you walking, farmer? Get up, it's too hot for an old man like you to walk today." So the farmer tides up behind his son, and they ride on.

    Some time later, a young woman passes them, “Why aren't you walking?” she asks, “It isn't far to the market. Give your poor horse a rest. ”

    So the farmer, and his son, get down once again. It is a fact that you cannot please all the people all the time.

    One day, Mr. Read and his son Robert were going out for a walk. He put on a pair of shoes together with a pair of different socks, one white and one yellow. As he came out of his house, his son noticed (注意) the colours of his father's socks and said, " you have put on two different socks, dad."

  When he heard this, he looked at his socks and found that his son was right. He was happy and said to himself, "What a clever son I have got!" Then he said to his n to go back to the house to get another pair of socks for him.

When the son went back to the house, all he could find was one white sock and one yellow sock. Robert then took the socks to his father and said, "It's no use changing! These socks at home are also different, one yellow and one white."

The conductor looks at the little girl and says to her, "How old are you?" The girl answers, "Mother says I am four years old at home, but I'm two years old on the bus." The young mother's face turns red, very red. Then she buys one adult ticket and a child's ticket.
