Alan worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really looked forward to his holiday. He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an ad. in a newspaper “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at William Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing…”
“This sounds like a good idea.”he thought, I’ll spend a month at William Farm. I’ll go horse riding, walking and fishing. It’ll be different from the seaside.” Four days later, he returned home.
“What’s wrong with William Farm?”His friend Jack asked him.“Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was fine,”Alan said.“But there was another problem.”
“Oh, what problem?”
“Well, the first day I was there, a sheep died, and we had roast(烤肉) mutton for dinner.”
“Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”
“Lucky you!”
“You don’t understand,”Alan said,“On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different roast every day.”Jack said.
“Let me finish.”Alan said,“On the fourth day a farmer died and I didn’t want to stay there for dinner.”

Last weekend, when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.
Jack walked up to the woman and said, “Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?”
“Of course, please sit down,” Sue said.
Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed. “That’s a nice dog, isn’t he?” Jack said, pointing at the animal.
“Yes, he is. He’s handsome. He’s a bit of a mixture, but that’s not a bad thing. He’s strong and healthy.”
“And hungry,” Jack said. “He hasn’t taken his eyes off you. He thinks you’ve got some food for him.”
“That’s true,” Sue said. “But I haven’t.”
They both laughed and then Jack said, “Does your dog bite?”
“No,” Sue said. “He’s never bitten anyone. He’s always gentle and friendly.”
Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal’s head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him.
“Hey!” Jack shouted. “You said your dog didn’t bite.”
Sue replied in surprise. “Yeah, I did. But this is not my dog. My dog’s at home.”
