An Honest Boy
There was once an honest boy in a far away mountains village.He was very fond of reading.But his family was too poor to buy him any books.Far away from the village there lived a rich man who had a li-brary in which he kept all kinds of books.This man liked honest teena-gers.When the boy learned this,he walked a long way to visit him and asked the rich man to lend him some books.“You can borrow any books as you like if only you keep them clean and return them on time.”the man said.
For many years the boy always finished reading the books in a given time and was never late in returning them.In this way the boy read a lot of books and when he grew up,he became a great scientist.

一个诚实的男孩
从前,在偏远的山村里有一个诚实的男孩,他很喜欢读书,但他家太穷了,买不起书。离村庄很远的地方有个富翁,他的图书室收藏了各种书,他喜欢诚实的`年轻人。当这个孩子知道后,他走了很远的路去拜访他,请求富人借他一些书。 “你可以随意借书,只要你保持干净并按时归还。”富人说。
多年来,男孩总是在给定的时间读完书,从不推迟归还,这样,男孩读了很多书,长大后成了伟大的科学家。
