Once there lived a poor family in our town.They were so poor there was almost nothing in the house but a pot(罐子) under a broken table. In it there was a little rice borrowed from their neighbor for the coming New Year. On New Year’s Eve, the wife had already fallen
. But the husband
in bed, worrying about their life .Suddenly he heard someone break into the room..
“It must be a thief,” he thought, “but it doesn’t matter. The thief can steal ” He didn’t shout or move. But he just watched over the thief.
The thief came into the house and was only in the rice under the table.
“But how can I take it away?” the thief thought hard. Then he had an idea. He off his coat, put it on the ground between the bed and the table, and turned around to take the pot.
Now the husband knew what the thief would do. He picked up the coat quickly and covered with it before the thief turned back.
The thief took the pot, and put the rice onto the coat. Then he began it. But he was surprised to find that his coat had gone.
“Hey,” he shouted out. The voice woke up the wife. She asked her husband, “Did you hear any sound? Maybe there is a thief in the room.”
“Shut up!” her husband, “go back to sleep. There is no thief in the room.”
“That’s ”the thief shouted loudly, “If there isn’t a thief, then where is my coat?”
