Question

Things didn’t go well for Henry, the village pancake maker. The Great Pancake Contest(比赛) was today. People from different places would try to win the contest .The villagers wanted Henry to win, but Henry had problems. There was not enough wood in the oven to make a pancake. Mice ate half the flour(面粉) during the night.

The villagers saw that Henry was having problems. The woodsman brought wood for the oven. The farmer gave Henry more flour. This was all very good but he was still missing one more important thing. There was hardly enough time for Henry to make his pancake and take it to the contest. But Henry decided to have a try.

As fast as he could, Henry put the wood in the oven. When he made the pancake, he thought, “When I had no wood, the woodsman brought me wood; when I had no flour, the farmer brought me flour. My good friends helped me.”

After Henry finished making the pancake, he ran as fast as he could to the contest. “I’m sorry, Henry,” one of the judges(评判员) said. “You are too late.” Henry's friends were sad for him, but Henry just laughed. “I’ m not sad! In fact，I’m happy!” he shouted. “I have good friends who helped me. Now, I have a wonderful pancake to share with them.”
