　　Here in the Northeast Georgia mountains live an old man and his young grandson．A small sum of money given by the government is their only regular income．Man and boy walk up and down the highway daily collecting soft-drink bottles for resale．I stopped once, and tried to give the man a carton(硬纸盒)of empty bottles．Polite, but firmly, he refused my “charity”．

　　Exercising what I thought was the only reasonable matter．I was driving their part of road, throwing bottles out of the car window, when the flashing blue light of a Georgia(乔治亚州)State patrol(巡逻)car filled my mirror．I took my lecture on litter(在公共场所扔废物)laws, and then told the officer about the man and the boy．We could see the old man from where we were stopped, bending over to pick up a bottle．The officer warned me again, and told me to move on．

　　As we both pulled onto the road, I looked in my mirror just in time to see two bottles sail out of the passenger window of the patrol car and land unbroken on the grass．

The lift cage was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The would which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh sir, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.
The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then-crash!
Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly be learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.

There lived a king who liked art. One day an artist offered to paint the most

beautiful picture in the world on the wall of his palace.
