One day while Lu Ban and his younger sister were visiting the West Lake in Hangzhou£¬they were caught in a sudden heavy rain and had to turn back£®"What a pity£¬" thought sister Lu£®

When they got home£¬she told her brother£¬"You are the best craftsman around here£¬trot I will make a bet with you£®Let's see who can invent something that will let people enjoy the scenery even in the rain£®"

Lu Ban laughed£®"All right£®" he said£¬"But there must be a time limit£®Three days?"

"No£¬just one night£®We start tonight and stop at the first cook's crow£®"

Lu Ban was surprised£¬"All right£¬it's a bet£®"

When it turned dark£¬Lu Ban started building a pavilion £¨Í¤×Ó£© at the lakeside£®Under the pavilion£¬people would be able to enjoy the scenery£¬even in wet weather£®When he finished£¬he went home and looked through the window of his sister's workshop£®All was quiet inside£®

Lu Ban went back and built another pavilion£¬then another£¬and still another£®He built nine and started working on the tenth£¬but before he could finish£¬he heard a cock crowing£¬so he stopped£®

Soon the sun rose£®As he stood by one of the pavilions wondering what his sister had done£¬Lu Ban saw something coming towards him£¬something like the roof of a pavilion£®Under it was his sister£®

As she came nearer¡£Lu Ban saw that she was holding a bamboo pole£¨Öñ¸Í£© which had something round and flat£¨Æ½µÄ£©at one end and covered with silk of many colors£®

¡°What a useful thing! How clever!¡± he cried out£¬examining his sister¡¯s invention£®

Sister Lu smiled£®¡°Mine can only be used by a single person, while yours can he used by many at the same time£®What¡¯s more£¬it was your design that gave me the idea£®The scenery looks so much nicer with your pavilions£®¡±

Some people say that was the beginning of the Hangzhou umbrella£®

1£®He was visiting the West Lake when it began to rain£®

2£®The word ¡°craftsman¡± means¡°·¢Ã÷¼Ò¡±in Chinese£®

3£®Lu Ban built nine pavilions£®

4£®Lu Ban invented the same thing as his sister£®

5£®It is said people in Hangzhou learned to make an umbrella£¬following sister Lu's idea£®

It's Unfair(²»¹«Æ½)

¡¡When a rich man was about fifty, his only son was born. He and his wife were quite pleased (¸ßÐË). They took good care of him (¾«ÐÄÕÕÁÏ) and gave him all he wanted. When their son grew up (³¤´ó), he could do nothing except

¡¡(³ýÁË) gambling (¶Ä²©) all the day. Soon he lost (Êäµô) all his parents' money and treasures (²Æ¸») to others and had to (²»µÃ²») sell their fields and houses at last (×îºó). Before long (²»¾Ã) his parents died (ËÀÁË). From then on (´ÓÄÇʱÆð) he lived nowhere. He couldn't live any longer (²»ÔÙ) and wanted to ask for a job, but nobody would help him. He had to beg (ÆòÌÖ) from door to door in the daytime and sleep in a broken temple (Ãí) at night.

¡¡¡¡¡¡One day, when he was begging in the street, he met his aunt. The woman had pity on (Á¯Ãõ) him and began to look for a job for him. A few months later, she said to the young man, "I've found a job for you. A cemetery (ŵØ) needs a door-keeper (¿´ÃÅÈË). It's light work. You needn't do anything there."

¡¡¡¡¡¡"Thank you very much," the young man said happily and went to the cemetery at once (Á¢¿Ì).

¡¡¡¡¡¡But two days later the young man came back and said to his aunt angrily,"All the people in the tombs (·ØĹ) are lying (ÌÉ) but I have to sit there. It's unfair ! I can't work there any longer."

1£®The rich man and his wife were quite happy when their only son was born.

(¡¡¡¡)

2£®His parents looked after him earefully and gave him everything he wanted.

(¡¡¡¡)

3£®When the boy grew up he could do anything except gambling.

(¡¡¡¡)

5£®He lived by (¿¿¡­¡­ÎªÉú) begging after his parents died.

(¡¡¡¡)

6£®The young man asked for a job because he could live no longer.

(¡¡¡¡)

7£®At first (Æð³õ) he liked to work at the cemetery because the job was very interesting.

(¡¡¡¡)

8£®Two days later the young man refused (¾Ü¾ø) to work in the tombs.

(¡¡¡¡)

9£®The young man thought it unfair for him to sit in the tomb with the dead people.

(¡¡¡¡)

10£®He disliked the job because the pay (±¨³ê) was very low.
