Question

【題目】 One day, a student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the field nearby.

The student turned to the professor and said, “We will hide his shoes, then hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”

“My young friend,” answered the professor, “We should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.

While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he picked up the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around but saw nobody. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. To his surprise, he found another coin.

He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke to his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.
