My friend Nick says that he needs to relax more. He wants some peace and quiet. So he has bought a house in the country. His new house has a really big garden. He says he wants to plant all kinds of flowers. He thinks he would like to grow some vegetables, too. Then he wouldn't have to buy them at the supermarket anymore and could cook the vegetables he grows himself.

驴). The boy walked to the old man and decided to play a trick on him. He thought for a while and then be had an idea.“Hello, my friend,” Fred said in a loud voice. “Please come and have a piece of bread.”
“Thank you very much,” Johnson got off the donkey and said gladly. “But I have already had lunch.”
“I'm sorry, I'm talking to your donkey, not to you.” Fred said with a smile.
Johnson understood at once that the boy was playing a trick on him.
He became angry, but he didn't show his anger. He just turned quickly to his donkey, held up the lash
(鞭子)and hit it on the back.“Before we set off, I asked if you had friends in the town. You said again and again that you hadn't. Can you explain why the young man asked you to have the bread, then?”
