When we talk of plants, most of us will think of things that grow from the ground and have green leaves, but there are plants that do not look or act like other plants. Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.

Fungi may appear almost everywhere.68They usually grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss(苔藓). Mushrooms (蘑菇) are the best-known fungi.

69There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrel’s bread(松茸)

is another kind of wild mushroom. Its appearance and use can explain its name. These fungi look like small golden cakes. Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their hole to eat later.

The mushrooms in food stores are carefully grown by people and they are safe to eat. People are warned never to touch or taste wild mushrooms, because some of them are deadly. Even less dangerous ones can still make a person very sick.

One day a strong cowboy was travelling on his horse when he saw a bar. He decided to stop for a few drinks, so he tied (拴) his horse outside the bar, walked into it and ordered two bottles of beer. This cowboy was new in town. He looked around and noticed some people making faces to him. He guessed that they might play some tricks (把戏) on him, but he said nothing and continued to drink. After drinking, he walked out of the bar and found his horse was missing.

However, he kept calm, came back into the bar, and said slowly, “I don’t know what you fools did to my horse out there, but I’m leaving in five minutes, and by then if my horse isn’t back where it’s supposed to be, I have to do here what I did in Texas!” The cowboy added, “And I don’t want to do what I did in Texas!” After hearing these words, the other customers seemed a little bit frightened.

The cowboy went back to his seat and ordered another two bottles of beer. After five minutes, he walked out and found his horse tied where it was supposed to be.

Just as he was leaving, the boss of the bar came up and asked curiously (好奇地), “What was the thing that you did in Texas but you didn’t want to do here?”

The cowboy turned to the boss and replied in a low voice, “I had to walk home!”
