     Tom is the son of a farm owner. One New Year's Day, when he was 15, his father asked him to
work on the farm for one year when he was free. Tom was unhappy with his father's idea. "That isn't my
job,  I have too much schoolwork to do." Hearing this, his father said,"I promise (许诺) to give you the
best present if you can finish one year's work." Tom thought for a while and agreed.
     Starting one Saturday, the boy got up early and worked hard until evening, just like any other farmer.  
Time passed quickly. Tom's crops (庄稼) grew well. On the last day of the year, the father called his son
to him, "I'm happy to see that you have worked very hard in the whole year," said the father, "Now, tell
me what you want. "
     The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread made from his wheat. "I've already got the
best present. No pains, no gains. I think this is what you wanted me to know." His father was quite
pleased to hear that.

often late for class and didn't like doing his homework.  Sometimes he slept in class while the teacher
was teaching.  He didn't understand much, but he always thought he understood everything. One day the
teacher asked the students a question, "When Mike was ten years old, his brother was twenty. Now Mike is fifteen and how old is his brother?" Tom said,  "That's easy.  His brother is twice as old as Mike, so he
is thirty now.”
     Another time, the teacher in a science class asked, "When it thunders(打雷), why do we always see
the light before we hear the sound?"
    "But, sir," said Tom quickly, "don't you know our eyes are in front of our ears?"

and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.
     Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom's shop.
     The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom's
prices were and then made his lower than Tom's.
     People quickly stopped buying things from Tom's shop. They bought everything from the supermarket
instead. Soon Tom's business was very bad and he was angry.
     "It's not fair," Tom thought, "I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson." The
price of steak in the supermarket was $ 5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window,"Steak—$4.50 a pound."
     The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his
window. "Steak—$4.00 a pound."

Tom's window said, "Steak—$ 3.50 a pound." Five minutes later the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak—
$ 2.50 a pound." Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom's window said, "Steak—$ 1.00 a pound."
     The manager of the supermarket ran cross the street into Tom's shop. "This price cutting must stop,"
he said, "Steak is costing me $ 4.00 a pound. I'm selling it at $ 2.50 a pound. I'm losing money every minute!"
     "I'll stop cutting all my prices," Tom said, "if you will stop cutting all yours."
