It was a sunny day. Mr Black went to town on business. On his way home, he found in front of him a big
pile of hay (干草). He got down from his horse. The hay had fallen off a wagon (马车). A boy was standing
by the wagon and looked worried. He was sorry for the little driver. "Now don't worry, my boy," Mr Black
said. "Come with me to the village over there, and I'll find someone to help you get the hay back onto the
wagon."
In the village Mr Black's friend asked him and the boy to have dinner. Mr Black enjoyed the man's dinner,
but he saw the boy still looked worried. "Dad won't like this!" the boy said in a low voice. "Dad won't like this."
"Don't worry too much," said Mr Black. "Just be careful next time. Now have your dinner,and you needn't
hurry."
"But I was here for a long time. Dad will be angry." "Oh,come now," said Mr Black. "Your dad will
understand, he will be glad if he knows that you have had a good dinner. I'll go with you and explain what has
happened. By the way, where's your dad?" The boy answered, "He's under the pile of hay!"
