Once upon a time, there was a fair with different shops in town. Among those was a small shop set up by a young man.

The shop was filled with colorful jewelry and other things made of glass. One of the pieces caught a jeweler’s eye. It was shining so brightly that the jeweler thought it was a precious diamond(珍贵的钻石). He asked the shop owner,” What’s the price of this piece?”

“20 dollars,” replied the owner.

The jeweler wanted to save some money, so he said, “I can give you only 15 dollars for it.”

The shop owner refused.

There weren’t many people around the shop, so the jeweler thought to himself, “If I come back later, the shop owner may change his mind.” After hanging about for a while, he returned to the shop, only to find the piece missing. He asked the shop owner, “Where is the piece I asked for a moment ago?”

The shop owner replied , “I sold it for 20 dollars.”

The jeweler got angry and said,” What a fool(傻瓜)you are! It was not a glass piece but a precious diamond.”

The shop owner replied, “I’m not a fool but you are! You knew that piece was precious, but you tried to buy it for 15 dollars and left.”

Since the beginning of this century, people have been encouraged to sort household garbage voluntarily(自愿地). Although more and more people have realized the importance of sorting garbage, the result was not so good. We have never stopped improving our waste-sorting work, so the new rule comes out.

Dangerous garbage: This type of garbage includes medicine, batteries paint containers. Bulbs(灯泡)and so on. If you throw them away, they may pollute the soil and water.
