Directions(方向)

  A man was trying to find the village of Chirton. He could not find any sign for it so he decided to drive up to a farmhouse and ask a farmer for directions.

  He soon came to the entrance to a farm. Above the gate there was a sign: Please close the gate.

  The man knew this meant there were cows in the fields, so he was very careful to close the gate after him.

  Before long he came to another gate. This, too, had a sign: Please close the gate. Once again he got out of his car, opened the gate, drove through, stopped his car, got out, closed the gate, got back into his car and drove on.

  It wasn't long before he came to a third gate. This, too, had a sign: Please close the gate. Again the man got out of his car, opened the gate, drove through, stopped his car, got out, closed the gate, got back into his car and drove on.

  He did this five times before he reached the farmhouse. Fortunately(幸运地), the farmer was standing at the door.

   “What can I do for you?”he asked the man.

   “I'm looking for Chirton. Do you know where it is?”

  “Sorry,”the farmer said. “I've only been here a few weeks. I don't know the area(地区).”

  The man thanked him, and drove back to the road. On the way he had to open and close five gates.

  When he reached the road he looked back at the farm. He could see the farmer waving(挥手) him. “Ah!”he thought, “He's remembered where Chirton is.”

  He turned around, stopped his car, got out, opened the gate, drove through, stopped the car, got out, closed the gate, got back in the car and drove off. He had to do this four more times before he reached the farm.

   “Have you remembered where Chirton is?”he asked the farmer. “No,” the farmer replied(回答), “but I asked my wife. She doesn't know either. ”

  Two old men shared a room on the fourth floor of an old people's home in the city centre.

  Both men were very old and very ill, and they spent 24 hours a day in bed in the room.

  Fortunately (幸运地), one of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day he spent hours telling his friend on the other side of the room what he could see through the window.

  He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park opposite, and the birds flying in the trees.

  The old man by the inside wall got a lot of pleasure from hearing about the world outside, but after a time he began to get rather jealous (嫉妒).

  How nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see everything for himself, instead of just hearing about it.

  One night, the man by the window called to his friend, “Quick! Pull the alarm by your bedI don't think I'm going to last the night!”

  But his friend, imagining an empty bed over by the window, did nothinghe just closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

  Sure enough, the next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window.
