Once there was an old farmer. He had a horse and the horse was almost as old as himself. One morning he set out with his young son to sell the horse before it died. The father and the son walked because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired（疲勞）. They met two men on the road. They said, “Why are you walking, farmer? You have a horse. It's a long way to get to the market. ”The farmer knew that this was true, so he rode on the horse while his son walked. Then they met two old ladies. “What are you doing up there, farmer?

Get up; it’s too hot for an old man like you to walk today. ”So the farmer got up behind his son and they went on riding.

One girl got halfway through, became confused(迷亂的) and stopped. As the other children laughed, _14_ rolled down her face. I gave her a hug and told her to get a drink of water. Then, remembering Mrs. Cooper, I fixed _15_ of the class with a firm look. “We’re all here to learn,” I said.
