　　Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work．Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg．She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her．They had several servants, but none of them could do the job．One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green．She looked beautiful and strong．Mr. Green liked her at once, and wanted to hire (fll^) her．

　　When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, "I hear she's a little foolish．You'd better ask her some questions．If she answers them well, you can hire her．"

　　Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again．He asked, "What would you be a servant for?"

　　"My mother is often ill, " the girl said, crying, "I have to stop studying and find work．I want to get some money to buy some medicine for her．"

　　"Where's your father, then?"

　　"He died last year．" answered the girl．

　　"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, " said Mr. Green, "And how did he die?"

　　"He went to London on business and had a high fever．The doctor couldn't save him and he died in the capital．"

　　"How many times had your father been to London?"

　　"Three times．"

　　Mr. Green was happy．He thought that the girl was not foolish at all, but he wanted to have a last try．So he asked, "Which of the three times did your father die in London?"

　　The girl thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry I don't know．When he died there, I was at school．"

　　An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day’s hard work．When he was not far from his house, the light on the cart went out．He tried hard but it didn’t work．

　　He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light．When a policeman saw this, he stopped the old carter．

　　“Where's your light?”asked the policeman．“No one may take a cart along a road at night without a light．You know that．You’ve broken the law．”

　　“I had a light,”said the old man,“but it has just gone out．”

　　“I don’t believe that story,”said the policeman．He took out a notebook and got ready to write．“What’s your name and where do you live?”he asked．

　　“Please don’t take my name,”said the old man．“My house is just there．You can see it from here．I had a light nearly the whole way．I haven’t come far without a light．”

　　“You came all the way without a light．What’s your name?”

　　The carter quickly took the policeman’s hand and put it down on the top of the light．“The light was still hot and burnt the policeman’s hand．The policeman jumped and he was very angry．

　　“Now, what do you think?”said the carter．“Did I come all the way without a light?”
