Long long ago, there was a poor man. He worked hard in the field（田地）, but he could not get anything from it. One day, after working for hours, he had a rest under a tree in the middle of the field. Just then, he saw a snake（蛇） coming out of an anthill（蚁丘）. The man thought that the snake might be the God of the Field. If he did not give it anything, he could not get anything from the field.
At once he went to bring a bowl of milk and gave it to the snake. “God of the Field!I didn’t know that you live here. That’s why I never gave you anything. Please forgive（宽恕） me.” Then he went home.
The next day, when the man came, he found a gold coin in the bowl near the anthill. From then on, each time the man gave milk to the snake, he got a gold coin.
One day the man was so busy that he couldn’t send milk to the snake. So he asked his son to take care of the snake. The son brought milk to the anthill and gave it to the snake. The next day, when he came back, he found a gold coin in the bowl. After taking the gold coin, he thought, “This anthill must be full of gold coins. I can kill the snake and take them all.”

What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What are other people reading? Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography(自传) about a president. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.
What do their choices(选择) say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have got to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.
Publishers(出版商) know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different types of covers. For example， books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown-ups.
So next time you are on a train， look around and see what other people are reading， but don’t jump to any conclusions(结论). You will be wrong maybe.
Here is a sentence that you could say， “Don’t judge（判断） a book by its cover”.
