    sayings and then try to find out they're true or not. Here're two interesting sayings.

It was a fine day. People at the railway station were waiting for the train to arrive. The train was coming in. Everyone waited there to get into the train. A group of young men made loud noises to welcome the train. The empty seats were nearly filled and the train was ready to move. Just then,an old man with a little boy of 10 years old came running to catch the train. As soon as they entered the train,the train started to move. They had their seats just next to the young group. 

The little boy was so surprised to see everything. "Dad,the train is moving and the things are moving backwards out of the window!"he shouted to his father. A fruit seller went past selling apples. His father bought him some apples. "Oh,the apple looks much sweeter than it tastes,"the little boy said. "Is your son having any problem?Why is he so different?"one of the young men asked. Another young man made fun of him. "His son is mad,I think!"he shouted. "My son was born blind. Only a few days ago,he had an operation. It is the first time that he has seen things in his life,"the father of the little boy replied with patience(耐心地). The young group became very quiet and said sorry to the father and the son.
