　　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.

Pictures of the pet taken by a passer-by have become an internet foucus after being posted on the photo-sharing  website Flickr. The dog which is nicknamed Mr Newman looks terribly upset as he sits on the pavement tied to a lamp-post with a rope.
