Mr. Smith is about sixty. He has no children and     in a small house. He raises some chickens, pigs and sheep. And he grows many orange trees around his house. He does his
      to save everything and now he has a lot of money.
One day, he worked in his garden.       , his jacket was caught on a branch (树枝) and it was broken. Looking at the jacket, he didn’t know      to do. Suddenly he remembered an old woman       lived next to him. So he went to see the old woman with his          jacket. “Excuse me, Mrs. White” said the old man,”       you mend the jacket for me, please?” “Certainly,” answered the old woman.
Half       hour later, but the jacket was mended. Mr. Smith said “Thanks, Mrs. White. I should give you something as a reward, the oranges are not ripe.” The old woman knew        well. She said with a smile on her face, “It doesn’t        , Mr. Smith. You can give me two chickens.”
