　　Mr and Mrs Wilson lived in a big crowded（拥挤的）city, and one summer they had holidays in a small town.

　　One day they went for a walk early in the morning and met an old man. He lived on a farm and he was sitting alone in the warm sun outside his front door. Mr Wilson asked him, “Do you like living in such a quiet place?”The old man said, “Yes, I do.”Mr Wilson said, “What are the good things about it?”

　　The old man answered, “Well, everybody knows everybody else. People often come and visit me. and I often go and visit them. And there are also lots of children here.”
