ask her a
question

If she doesn't answer, move

again
Keep repeating
this
until she
answers. Then you'll be able
to tell if she is deaf or
not.

The man
goes home and begins to test his wife's hearing.
He stands
by the wall
and
says,
“
My

doesn't hear an answer, so he moves closer to

boy's going to be
famous
when he's a little older,
and then we
’
re
going to sell these pictures for a lot more
money.
”
Jimmy's
pictures
were different from
other people's because he never painted it on all
of the paper. He
painted on half of it,
and the other half was always
empty
.
“
That's very
clever
,
”
everybody
said.
“
Nobody else
does that!
”
They
all believed that the boy was a
pioneer
in painting.
One day, somebody bought one of Jimmy's
pictures and then said to
him,
“
Please tell me this,
Jimmy.
Why do you paint on
the
bottom half
of your
pictures, but not on the
top half
?
”
“
Because I'm
small,
”
Jimmy
said,
“
and my
brushes
don't
reach
very
high
.
”

我个头小，我的画笔
(brush)
无法够到

11. Living like a Pig (1)
One
day,
a
guru(
印度教大师
)knew
what
he
would
be
in
his
next
life.
So
he
called
his
favorite
disciple(
徒弟
) and
asked him what he would do to show thanks. The
disciple said he would do
whatever
his guru asked him to do.
After the guru
received
the
promise
,
he
said,
“
Then this is what I'd
like you to do for me. I've just
learned
that when I die very
soon, I'm going to
be born
as a
pig
.
Do you see
that pig eating
rubbish
over
there in the
yard
?
I'm
going to be born as one of its
baby pigs
.
You
’
ll
recognize(
认出
)me by a
mark
on my
face
When
the baby pigs have been
born, find the baby pig with a mark on its face
and kill it with your
knife
Then
I
’
ll not
live a pig's life
Will you
do this for me?
”
