A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door．

　　“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

　　“If you want to know, I make ＄20 an hour．”

　　“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head down．He thought for a moment, looked up and said,“Daddy, could you lend me ＄10?”

　　The father was furious,“If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish(自私的)!”

　　The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door．After about an hour or so, the father calmed down, and started to think,“Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often．”So he went to the little boy’s room．

　　“Sorry!Maybe I was too hard on you just now,”said the man．“Here’s ＄10．”

　　“Oh, thank you, Daddy!”the boy said gladly．Then, the boy took out some coins．When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again．

　　“Why do you want more money since you already have some?”the father shouted angrily．

　　“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,”the little boy replied,“Daddy, I have ＄20 now．Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home early tomorrow．I would like to have dinner with you．”

　　The weather was very cold．Snow was falling．The roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing．It was not a goodnight to be outside．

　　Thomas，however，had to walk home from work．He had to walk along a country road．

　　As he walked the cold wind beat against his chest．

　　“I will be warmer，”he thought，“I wear my coat backwards．”

　　He stopped walking for a moment，took off his coat，and put it back on backwards．

　　“That's much better，”he thought，and walked on through the thickly falling snow．

　　A few minutes later a car hit him．The driver of the car had not seen him soon enough．When he tried to stop，the car skidded(滑行)on the ice．

　　The driver got out of his car and ran to help Thomas．

　　Soon a police car arrived．The policeman ran to look at Thomas who was lying on the ground．

　　“I'm afraid he's dead，”he told the driver．

　　The driver could not believe this．

　　“He can't be dead，”he cried，“I hardly touched him．Look at my car．There's not a mark on it．”

　　“He's dead，”the policeman said．“There is no doubt(疑問)．”

　　“I don't understand it，”the driver of the car said．“As soon as I hit him，I ran to help him．He was lying in the road，but he was breathing and there was no blood．”

　　“Did you touch him？”the policeman asked．

　　“Yes，”the driver of the car said，“but only to turn his head around the right way．”
