There lived a young man in a village. He was born in a      family. His parents had a lot of farms and got much money . He was in school for only four years, but he thought he knew all.        the villagers called him Mr. Know-All. And he told his servants not to tell him the results（结果） directly (直接地). The servants . were afraid of  him and had to listen to him.

    One day Mr. Know-All went to     his friend who lived in a town. He stayed there for nearly a week. Suddenly one of his servants came and called out, “     , sir!”

“What happened?”

“Your cat has died!”

“What’s there to be surprised at （吃惊）?” said the young man. “Throw it to the river. By the way, of what illness did it die?”

“It     much meat of the horse and died.”

“What? Has my horse died, too? And what illness did it die of, then?”

 “It pulled(拉) the carried (马车) to the hospital,” said the servant. “ We made it     as fast as possible. When we reached the hospital, it was so tired that it couldn’t     up any longer and died.”

“Wait a minute,” said Mr Know-All. “What did you go to the hospital for?”

“To     your mother there.”

“What’s the matter with my mother?”

“She     down stairs and hurt her head. We sent her to the hospital, but it was too late. The doctors operated on（动手术）her at once, they tried their best to save her, but she died!”

Mr Know-All became angry and shouted, “Why didn’t you tell me about it      ?”

It was a stormy winter day when Mrs. Spodek made her way to the bus stop with her son who sat in a wheelchair. Finally they arrived.

Ten minutes later a bus came by. Looking down at her son's face, Mrs. Spodek realized that her son could not wait any longer.

The bus stopped and Mrs. Spodek began to lift up the wheelchair. "Hey, lady," called out the driver, "this bus does not have a lift for that wheelchair. You are going to have to wait for the next bus."     

    "Excuse me, "said Mrs Spodek, "but if I wait any longer my son is going to freeze."

    Two passengers jumped down to help the mother and son, making it onto the bus. They tried their best to keep the little boy comfortable, while the bus driver continued complaining about the lady pushing her way onto the bus.

    When they sat into their seats, a voice could be heard from the back of the bus, "Hey, lady, you should not worry at all. Your son is not the one with the handicap(残疾). It is the bus driver who has the handicap, lady. His mind is handicapped."

    Tears rolled down Mrs. Spodek's frozen cheek.

    Thirty minutes later when Mrs. Spodek stepped off the bus, the driver joined in helping the mother and son get off.

    Just before the driver turned to go back to the bus he said, "Sony, lady. I was wrong."

    Mrs. Spodek said, "Thank you for saying so."

    Then looking at the boy in the wheelchair, the bus driver said, "You are lucky to have such a nice mom.

    The little boy looked back into the driver's eyes and said, "We were lucky to have such a nice driver."

    The driver turned to go back to the bus but Mrs. Spodek heard him start to cry, "What a kid! What a kid!"
