stories always came to an end. That was not good. One evening little Tom asked his mother to tell him a very,

very long one, or he was not going to bed. So his mother began like this: " There was a very big old house and

there was much rice in it. There was a hole in the roof of the house. Every day a bird went into the house and

came out with a grain of rice (一粒大米). A minute later another bird went into it and came out with another of

rice. Then a third went into it and came out with a grain of rice. Then a fourth bird…… Then a fifth bird……"

" Stop, stop! I want to go to bed." Tom said.
