Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither(两者都不)of them likes to use his head. They work hard but they are both poor. Most villagers(村民) build new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.

Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine(药)for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it when he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor(拖拉机). Bad luck! A lot of apples were in the city when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price. They felt unhappy and returned to their village.

"I can't understand why we sustained losses in business (生意上蒙受损失)while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day.

"The tractor was too small" Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"

"I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish(傻) we were!"
