A Clever Farmer

　　One winter morning, the sun is shining². Uncle Sam sits on the step³ of his house. At that moment, a farmer with a map in his hand comes to him.

　　Farmer：Excuse me, Uncle. Can you tell me know to get to the hospital, please?

　　Uncle Sam: Lie⁴ down in the middle of the street and you'll soon be at a hospital.

　　Farmer Please set⁵ an example to me.

　　Uncle Sam: I think you come to our city at the first time. It's much more beautiful than the field⁶. Is that right?

　　Farmer: Yes, uncle. But it is built⁷ on the field.

　　Uncle Sam's face turns red.

　　聪明的农民山姆大叔不喜欢农民。他认为他们很愚蠢只会在农场干活。一个冬天的早晨，阳光明媚，山姆大叔坐在门前的石阶上。这时，一个农民手拿地图向他走来。

　　农民：请问，大叔，去医院的路怎么走？

　　山姆大叔:你躺在街当中，很快就会在医院的。

　　农民：请你做一个示范。

　　山姆大叔：我想你是第一次进城吧，城市比你那块地漂亮多了，是吧？

　　农民：是的，大叔，但城市是建在地之上的。

　　山姆大叔脸红了。
