Question

【题目】 Mr. Green lived in a village. He had a few farms and was the richest there. And he had pigs, chickens, cows and sheep. He worked in the fields with some workers, and his wife had to do all the housework at home. So she was very busy and asked her husband to employ ( 雇佣) a girl to help her, but he didn’t agree.

“There are so many chickens, dear,” said the woman one day. “I can’t look after them at all.”

“That’s easy,” said Mr. Green. “There’s Mr. Black’s farm outside our enclosing walls (围墙). We’d better make a few holes in the walls and the chickens will go to his farm through them and eat his vegetables.”

And soon Mr. Black found it. He told Mr. Green and his wife about it. They promised that they would stop their chickens doing it, but they didn’t keep their promise at all. Mr. Black thought for a while and found a way. He put nearly 20 eggs near the holes one afternoon. And that evening, when Mrs. Black was counting her chickens, she said loudly on her farm, “Oh, I’m so lucky today! I’ve found twenty eggs on my farms.”

Of course, Mrs. Green saw it herself. And the next morning, Mr. Black found all the holes in the walls were stopped up.

本文是一个小故事。格林一家和布莱克一家住得彼此挨着。格林的妻子抱怨有那么多鸡，她根本不能照顾他们。 格林先生在他家的围墙上打几个洞，让鸡穿过墙去布莱克的农场吃布莱克家的蔬菜。一天下午，布莱克先生在洞附近放了将近20个鸡蛋。那天晚上，当布莱克太太正在数她的鸡时，她在农场大声地说：“哦，我今天真幸运！我在农场里发现了20个鸡蛋。”格林太太看见了。第二天早上，布莱克先生发现墙上所有的洞都被堵住了。
