　　One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, saying：“My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone(砂轮)”

　　“Yes , sir,” said I．

　　“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man．“Will you let me grind(磨)my ax?”

　　Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir．The grindstone is down in the shop．”

　　Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water．

　　“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen．Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”

　　Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will．It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death．The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground．
