      Fred liked playing tricks on others. One afternoon he went to a shop and bought some bread. On his
way home he saw Johnson, an old man about sixty riding a donkey (驢). The boy walked to the old man
and decided to play a trick on him. He thought for a moment and then he had an idea.
     "Hello, my friend," Fred said in a loud voice. "Please come and have a piece of bread." 
     "Thank you very much." Johnson got off the donkey and said gladly." "But I have already had lunch."
     "I'm sorry. I'm talking to your donkey, not to you." Fred said with a smile. Johnson understood at once
that the boy was playing a trick on him. He became angry, but he didn't show his anger. He just turned
quickly to his donkey, held up the lash (鞭子) and hit it on the back.
     "Before we set off, I asked if you had friends in the town. You said again and again that you hadn't. Can
you explain why the young man asked you to have the bread, then?"
     The more the old man said, the less he could control his anger. He finally shouted, "I'll beat you to death
if you dare fool me again!"
     Hearing this, Fred's face turned red and he left away quickly.

much cheaper by making the words shorter. You can do this by taking out "unimportant" letters in the
words and using numbers instead of words (2=to, 3=free, 4 = for, 8 = ate, so, etc. ). You can also keep
a way from using punctuation. Here is an example: Do u wnt 2 g 2 th cnma tnit? (Do you want go to the
cinema tonight?)
