LESSON 28

SAM AND HARRY

山姆与哈里

1. One fine summer afternoon, Sam was walking home from school. He went along slowly, reading a book.

2. Sam had spent all his money for the book, but he was a happy boy.

3. At length he came into the highroad, where there was a gate. A blind man stood, holding it open.

4. The poor man said, "Please give me a few cents to buy some bread!" But Sam gave him nothing.

5. What! did Sam give the poor blind man nothing? Yes; for, as I told you, he had spent all his money.

6. So Sam walked on, very sad. Soon after, a fine carriage came up, and in it were Harry and his mother.

7. The blind man stood, and held out his hat. "Let us give the poor man something," said Harry to his mother.

8. His mother gave him some cents. Harry took them, but did not put them into the man's hat.

9. He threw them into the hedge as far as he could. The poor man could not find them, for, you know, he was blind.

10. Sam had turned back to look at the fine carriage. He saw Harry throw the cents into the hedge; so he came back at once, and looked for the money until he found it all for the blind man.

11. This took so long a time, that he almost lost his supper.

12. Which of the boys do you think was truly kind to the poor man?

13. I know which he thanked most in his heart.

【中文阅读】

1．一个夏日里美好的午后，山姆从学校回家。他走得非常慢，一边走一边看书。

2．山姆为了买这本书花光了他所有的钱，但他很快乐。

3．最后，他走上了一条大路，那里有一扇门。一位盲人站在那里，并把门打开。

4．这个穷人说：“请给我几分钱买些面包吧！”山姆没有给他。

5．什么？山姆什么都没有给那个穷困的盲人吗？是的，因为就像我告诉你的，他花光了他所有的钱。

6．山姆非常难过地继续往前走。很快，一个漂亮的马车赶了上来，里面坐着哈里和他的妈妈。

7．这个盲人站在那儿，摘下了他的帽子。“我们给这个穷人一些东西吧。”哈里对他的妈妈说。

8．妈妈给了他几分钱。哈里接过钱，却没有把钱放进那个人的帽子里。

9．他用尽全力，把钱扔进了篱笆里。这个穷人无法找到钱，你知道，他的眼睛看不见。

10．山姆转过身看着那辆漂亮的马车。他看到哈里把钱扔进了篱笆，他立刻回去找钱，直到把钱交给那位盲人。

11．为了找到钱，他花了很长时间，以至于耽误了晚饭。

12．你认为哪个男孩才是对那个穷人真正友善的人呢？

13．我知道他在心里最感激谁。
