My grandfather was a fine man. I love him very much. But one day I told him a lie. I can not tell you now what the lie was. I was only seven years old then.

Grandfather was not cross with me

"Ask Jim to get a long ladder," he said. "My boy now jumps from the tops of houses, up to the roof".

Jim brought the big ladder. Then Grandfather said, “My boy now jumps from the tops of houses. The ladder is for him."

I knew at once what he was telling me. I had often heard the old saying," A lie is a jump from the top of a house"

I said nothing .But I felt like crying.

The minutes went by. What would people think about the ladder? It stood by the front door. I was afraid it might be there a long time. I had to do something!

At last I went to Grandfather. He was reading a book. I went to him and put my face on his arm.

"Grandfather," I said," I will not tell a lie again. We don't need the ladder now."

Grandfather seemed very happy once again. He called Jim. "Take the ladder away," he said,"My boy does not jump from the tops of houses."

His words made me happy once again.

Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy. 　Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room. 　Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room.” he thought. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.” The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man. Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $ 9Ⅹ3 = $ 27. The assistant kept $ 2. 　　 $ 27 + $ 2 = $ 29. Where is the missing dollar? (　　 ) 21.
