A Trip to the Forest
One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.
In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometres from their camp（营地）, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?
Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!
It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Where were they? 
None of them could tell. John looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents!

　　A young man once went to town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went to his bedroom and tried them on. He found that they were about two inches longer.

　　He went to the kitchen where his mother and his two sisters were washing up the tea things. “This pair of trousers is too long,” he said. “It needs shortening(缩短) by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and his sisters were busy and none of them said anything. However, the mother shortened the trousers by two inches after she had finished washing, but she did not tell her daughters about it.

　　Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother's trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she did it again without saying anything to anyone. The young sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too, remembered what her brother had said, so she took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.

　　You can imagine the look on the young man's face when he put the trousers on the next morning.
