A traveler lost his way and got off the highway to see where he was. As he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigpens and pigs running in fields. Suddenly, his eyes caught something really strange. It looked like a pig with a wooden leg.
He drove up into the arm, where he met the farmer. “ Excuse me, ” the traveler said. “ I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I just had to stop and ask about it. Tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg?” The farmer smiled. “ Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He’s the finest pig I’ve ever had ---and smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig.”
“ One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I fell down and knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out. There is no question about it ---- that night old Caesar saved all our lives. You know that I’m not going to forget it too easily.”
“ Why,” the traveler said, “ this is amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me, how did he get that wooden leg?”
The farmer laughed and said, “ Well, when you have a pig so smart, you don’t want to eat him all at one time!”

When I was young, I went looking for gold in California. And I discovered a beautiful part of the country called Stanislaus. It had bright green hills and deep forests where soft winds touched the trees. By the time I arrived, a man had been smiling at me , standing in front of his little house. Inside, I saw a bright rug on the shining wooden floor. And on little tables there were seashells, books and china vases full of flowers. A woman had made this house into a home. The delight in my heart showed on my face. The man read my thoughts. “All her work.” He said , “Nothing here hasn’t felt the touch of her hand.”As he talked, I went to a little black-walnut shelf that held a small picture of the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. There was a sweetness and softness in the woman’s expression. “Nineteen, her last birthday. When you see her...ah, just wait until you meet her!” “Where is she now?” I asked. “Oh, she is away visiting her parents.” he said slowly. “She will be back on Saturday, in the evening.” That night, I stayed. The man told me his name was Henry.
Thursday evening we had two visitors, Tom and Joe. “When little madam is coming home. Any news from her?” “Oh yes,” the man replied. “A letter.” He took a yellowed letter out of his wallet and read it. It was full of loving messages. While reading, he glimpsed his friends and cried out, “Oh no, Tom! You always cry when I read a letter from her. I’m going to tell her this time!” “No, you must not do that, Henry,” the grey-haired miner said. “I am getting old. And any little sorrow makes me cry. I really was hoping she would be here tonight.”
Saturday finally came. I was glad to see Tom and Joe again. They kept giving him glasses of whiskey. “Boys,” he said, “I am sick with fear. Help! I want to lie down.” Henry was asleep almost before the words were out of his mouth. In a moment, the men tucked him into his bed. They seemed to leave. So I said, “Please don’t go. She won’t know me. I am a stranger.” They glanced at each other. “She? she’s been dead for nineteen years!” Joe said, “She went to see her folks(家人) after she got married. On her way back, on a Saturday evening, the Indians captured her. She’s never been heard of since. Henry went insane. But he only gets bad when that time of year comes round. Then we drop in here, to encourage him up and listen to him read the letter. We’ve done it for nineteen years. We drug him to sleep through the night.” The two old men opened the door and disappeared into the darkness .

We always wonder about famous people. What were they really like?
Sigmund Freud, a world-famous doctor of Vienna, was a thinker who changed the way we look at mental trouble. He was also a man with guts (=courage and determination) .
Once Freud was walking down a dark street. He was met by the muggers (行凶抢劫者) who wanted to mug him. This was back in 1890．Freud took his cane by the tip and beat off them.
He did not lose his cool when the Nazis came to his house. The Nazi soldiers found 1500 shillings (about $250) in a drawer. Their sergeant put the money in his pocket. He wrote a receipt, clicked his heels, and was about to leave. “You’re lucky. ”said Dr. Freud.
“Why? ”asked the young sergeant. “Well, ”said the professor, “I've been a doctor here in Vienna for 40 years, and I never got 1500 shillings for just one visit. ”Freud had guts. He also had a sense of humor. Once at his 70th birthday party, a relative asked Freud if he could put his work into simple words. “Well, ”said the professor, “we take the patient out of his mental trouble, and return him into the common misery. ”
Freud had three sisters. They had never married. They each lived in a small apartment. Freud and his brother paid the sisters’ bills. The sisters lived simply. The brother risked Uncle Sigi (as Freud was called in his large family) if the sisters could live together. “It’s logical. ”said the brother, “It would save money. ”Freud said, “Yes, it’s logical, but it wouldn’t be psychological. ”The sisters kept their own apartments and the idea was dropped.
Freud was a devoted son. His mother used to spend her summers in Ischl, a small mountain town in Austria. The Emperor Frazn Josef used to spend hills summers in Ischi, too.
Grandma Freud, as she was called by the family, used to sit at the window and watch the crowds on Main street. Freud was visiting his mother on her 95th birthday. The band was playing a lively tune. The old lady's memory must have failed her. She heard the band playing, but forgot it was the Emperor's birthday. The professor told his mother, “Mama, the band is playing for your birthday. ”She believed him and had a wonderful day.
