A Silly Dog or a Silly Man?

　　One day, when he was out for a walk in the street, Mr. Basil suddenly saw a man shouting at a dog and kicking(踢) it fiercely(兇 猛地) . Mr. Basil, a kind man, was enraged(激怒) at the scene. “Poor dog! I should help it.” Mr. Basil went up to the man at once, and, without saying a word, he seized the man's collar (衣領(lǐng)) and began to beat him with his stick.

　　Confused(迷惑不解)by Mr. Basil's action, the man never expected that someone would interfere(干預(yù)) in his business like that. He staggered (搖晃) and fell onto the ground. Almost at the same time, seeing its master beaten by a stranger, the dog which was its master's Friday (忠仆), jumped to its feet, barked and began to chase Mr. Basil. The dog treated Mr. Basil as their enemy instead of thanking him for his good will. So frightened, Mr. Basil ran away as fast as he could without looking back.

　　Now what do you think of Mr. Basil's action and did it serve him right? Mr. Basil may learn a lesson from this and will never do such a foolish thing again. So remember not to have a finger in the pie(餡餅)or you will have your finger in the fire.

Old George selected his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was pleased to think that he had saved 80 cents today.

At the exit, the cold wind made him think of his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants but could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a good price, for just $35, years ago. They were soft and very comfortable. He had taken great care looking after them, so they were in good condition.

George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒勞). His black gloves were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!”

He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. On his way to the dairy section, he noticed a lady wearing a pair of black gloves. He sped up and in three seconds was in front of her. But when the surprised woman looked over, his eyes dropped, for her gloves were just far too small to be his. He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out into the street.

A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “What color are they?” the woman in the office asked. “Black,” he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men’s leather gloves. “Are they?”

“Yes! Those are mine,” George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy.
