Once there lived a very old farmer in a village. His name was jack. He had a horse. It was almost as old as he was.

　　One day he set off（出发） with his young son to sell the horse. They walked because the father didn't want the horse to be 　　too tired.

　　　　They met two neighbours on their way. The neighbours said,"Hello, why are you walking? You have a horse. It's a long way to 　　the market." Jack knew that was true, so he rode on the horse while his son was walking.

　　　　Then they met two women." What are you doing there? Can't you see how tired your boy is?" So Jack got down, and his son rode 　　instead .

　　　　Next, three old men stopped them. One of them said, "Why are you walking, Jack? It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today."

　　So Jack got on behind his son and they rode on.

　　Some time later, a girl passed them. "Why aren't you walking?"she asked. "It's not far from the market. Give your poor horse a 　　rest."
