Once there was a farmer. He worked for a landlord (地主). The landlord made the man work all day
long, but paid him very little money and didn't give him enough food to eat.
One day when the man was having breakfast, the landlord came and said to him. "It's too much trouble
to go to work and come back for supper. So I want you to have breakfast and lunch and supper now,
before you go to the field. "
"How can I eat three meals at the same time? "The man thought. But he said, "A11right. " He finished
his breakfast and went out.
Two hours later, the landlord went out for a walk. Now what did he see? He saw the man sitting under
a tree and smoking. The landlord was very angry?
"Why aren't you working in the fields?"He said. The man said with a smile,"I have had my supper and
you know very well what I should do after supper. "
