good worker though he could not read or write.

hours of hard work, he walked a long way to have lessons from a young teacher.

      George was very stingy (吝啬的). He hated spending money.
      Whenever he had to buy something, he always argued about the price and tried to bargain (讨价还价),
even for the cheapest things.
      If he wanted to buy a bottle of coke, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, George would say,
"Make it $1.90 and I'll buy it."
      Sometimes the shopkeeper agreed to reduce (降低) their prices a little. "What's ten cents?" they asked
themselves."If it makes this man happy, then it won't hurt me very much."
      In this way George saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year, he had
saved several hundred dollars.
      One day he had a very bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and
said, "This tooth will have to come out. It's too damaged (损坏的) to save."
     "How much do you charge (要价) to take out a tooth?" George asked.
      "Forty dollars." the dentist said. "Forty dollars!" George thought this was much too expensive.
      "How long will it take you to pull out the tooth?" he asked.
      "About two minutes," the dentist said.
     George could not believe what he was hearing. "Forty dollars for two minutes' work!" he shouted.
"That's robbery (抢劫)."
     The dentist smiled. "You're right," she said. "Thank you for telling me. I'll pull your tooth out very slowly.
What if I take half an hour?"

      George and his friend Peter were fond of deer-hunting, and whenever they had a free day during the
deer-hunting season, they took their guns and went off into the forest.
      One Saturday they were sitting on a stone eating their sandwiches (三明治) and drinking their coffee
when they saw a man walking through the snow towards them. He was dressed in deer-hunting clothes,
but he had no gun with him. When he got nearer, the two friends saw that he was following a deer's foot
prints. They were both very surprised to see a man following a deer without a gun. So when he reached
them, they stopped him and asked him whether any thing was wrong and whether they could help him.
The man sat down beside them, accepted a cup of coffee and told them his story.
      Like them, he had gone out deer-hunting that morning with a friend. They had seen a deer with very
big horns (角), and had followed it for some time. Then he had fired at it, and it had fallen just where it
stood. He and his friend had run over to examine it, and he had said to his friend "This deer's horns will
make a wonderful rack (架子) for my guns when I get it home." He had then put his gun in the deer's
horns and stepped back to see exactly how they would look as a gun rack on the wall of his study. He
had been admiring the effect when the deer had suddenly jumped up, shaken itself and ran away, carrying
his gun firmly stuck in its horns.
