farmer had a faithful horse which had grown old and could do no more work, so his master no longer wanted to give him anything to eat and said, "I can certainly make no more use of you, but if you prove yourself still strong enough to bring me a lion here, I will keep you. " And with that he chased him into the open field.
The horse was sad. There the fox met him and said, "Why do you hang your head, and go about all alone?"
"Alas," replied the horse, " My master has forgotten what services I have done for him for so many years, and because I can no longer plow(犁地) well, he will give me no more food, and has driven me out. "
" Without giving you a chance?" asked the fox.
" The chance was a bad one. He said , if I were still strong enough to bring him a lion , he would keep me , but he knows that I cannot do that. "
The fox said, "I will help you. Just lie down, stretch out as if you were dead. " The horse did as the fox asked, and then the fox went to the lion, and said, "A dead horse is lying out there. Just come with me, and you can have a rich meal. "
The lion went with him, and when they were both standing by the horse, the fox said, "After all, it is not very comfortable for you here—l tell you what—l will fasten it to you by the tail, and then you can pull it into your cave and eat it in peace. "
The advice pleased the lion. He positioned himself in order that the fox might tie the horse fast to him, and he kept completely quiet. But the fox tied the lion's legs together with the horse's tail. When he had finished his work , he tapped the horse on the shoulder and said, "Pull, white horse, pull! "
Then up sprang(跳跃) the horse at once, and pulled the lion away with him. The lion began to roar(吼叫) so that all the birds in the forest flew up in fear, but the horse let him roar, and drew him and pulled him across the field to his master's door. When the master saw the lion, he was moved, and said to the horse, " You shall stay with me and I will treat you well. " And he gave him plenty to eat until he died.

Have you ever thought of owning a garden of yours? It must be a very nice experience for you !
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots of the plants, but don't water too much.
Tall plants need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they'll fall over. For example, when your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it's time to push a long stick into the gronnd next to each plant.
If' you have planted seeds(种子) , you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow.
If you've planted lettuce seeds, wait until the baby plants are about l. 5 inches tall. Then, pull some of the plants out so that you leave 8 inches between plants.
Now that you've done all the work, it's time to enjoy what you've got. Pick a red tomato. Eat it while it's still warm from the sun. Or cut it up and put it in a salad. If you have more vegetables from your garden than you and your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to share the joy you get from your garden with others.
So you can see, work will always make you happy.
