10、a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. Im sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow

11、 morning. Then hell take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Dont forget it when you prepare

12、 supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isnt useful at all.”“No, no,” said t

Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They o

16、nly have a free day in a week. This doesnt allow them to keep an eye on their children. On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you dont know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school a

17、nd parents to be by your side all the time. If you dont have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children. Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their famil

18、ies. This is their parents mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
