Many years ago,there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something good for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out if they deserved (值得) his help. So he put a very large stone in the middle of the main road into the town. Then he stood behind a tree,waiting and watching.

Soon an old man came along with his cow. ‘‘ Who put this stone in the center of the road?”said the old man,but he didn’t try to move the stone away.
