　　Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was traveling in France．Once he was going by train to Dijon．That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep, so he asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon．But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper．"I'll probably protest(表示不满)loudly when you try to wake me up," he said to the conductor," but do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway．"

　　Then Mark Twain went to sleep．Later, when he woke up, it was night-time and the train was in Paris already．He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon．He was very angry．He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him．"I have never been so angry in all my life,” Mark Twain said．

　　The conductor looked at him calmly(冷静地)．"You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off at Dijon," he said．

　　Mr and Mrs White had two sons and three daughters．One Saturday Mrs White said to her husband．“The children don't have any lessons today, and you are free too．There's a new funfair(游乐场)in the park．Let's all go there to play．''

　　Her husband said “I want to finish some work today．” “Oh, forget it．Go there and make our children happy．That's the most important work．”Mrs White said．

　　So Mr and Mrs White took their children to funfair．Mr White was forty－five years old, but he enjoyed the funfair more than his children．He hurried from one thing to another, and ate lots of sweets．One of the children said to her mother, “Dad is just like a small child, isn't he, Mom?'' Mrs White didn't want to follow her husband around any more at that time and answered, “He is even worse than a small child, Mary, because he might spend more money than a small child．”

　　Joe wanted a bike．He had asked his parents for the money and they had said he must earn it．But how?He thought about this as he walked home．Not many people wanted to ask children to work for them．Maybe he could clear away snow for the neighbours．But this was summer．He’d wait for a long time for that．He couldn’t cut grass for their gardens because he had no tool to do the work with：

　　Then Joe saw one of his classmates Dick delivering newspapers．I could do that, he thought．Maybe I could get the bike right away．I could pay for it a little each week．He ran to catch up with Dick．Joe asked a lot of questions about having a paper route．He learned that the job took about three hours each night．Dick gave him the phone number of the newspaper manager．

　　Joe almost flew home．After he had explained his plan, his mother smiled, “I think it’s a great idea,” she said, “I’ll call the newspaper…”

　　“Wait, Mum,” Joe said, “I’ll call．After call, I’m going to be a business man now．”
