One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, "Look! There's a horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag." Thomas said, 'It isn't worth the trouble." His father said nothing but picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they lad a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries.
The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn't a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost some time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, "My dear son, if you had bent down earlier to pick up that horseshoe. it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.

My tears run down when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I 41 them?
Dad works from 7a.m to 9p.m. Mum does all the 42 . She also has to work in the vineyard (葡萄园). But I can’t do 43 for them. Every day she got up earlier than Dad.
