[11:30.23]The farmer was growing old and he couldn't work as 13 hard as before

[11:36.16]One day,he asked his sons to help him.

[11:40.63]'I'm sorry, Father,' said the oldest son.

[11:45.78]'It's such a hot day. I must go to the river for a swim.'

[11:51.84]'I'm sorry, Father,' said the second son.

[11:56.30]'I'm too busy to help you today.

[12:00.74]I have to take care of my horse,and then I am going 52 riding with my friends.'

[12:08.11]'I'm sorry, Father,' said the youngest.

[12:12.37]'I'm going fishing,but I'll bring you some nice fish for supper.'

[12:18.53]The farmer looked sadly at his boys and said,

[12:23.29]'What lazy boys I have!'Soon,the farmer was not able 53 to dig his fields 54.

[12:31.05]The plants began to look yellow,thin and weak,

[12:35.91]but the sons were always too busy to see this.

[12:40.95]'I'm going to die 55 soon the farmer said to them one day.'

[12:46.28]I will leave everything to you.

[12:50.04]It's all in a safe place.

[12:54.09]One day,you may be very rich When he died 56 his sons looked everywhere,

[13:01.45]but they could not find any I money anywhere 57.

[13:06.73]'Where did 37 Father put the money?' they asked

[13:11.48]'It is nowhere 58 in the house.'

[13:15.14]'I know,' said one .

[13:18.20]'Maybe he put it in one of the fields.

[13:23.06]That's a safe place.'So,the boys began to dig.

[13:29.30]They dug 59 the first field,but they found 60 nothing.

[13:34.65]They dug the other fields,but still they found nothing.

[13:40.30]'What are we going to do? We are so poor now.'

[13:45.63]A few 61 months later,they went to look at the fields.

　　[13:50.49]The plants were green and much stronger than before.

[13:56.05]Now, they understood 62.

[14:16.71]lesson 16  Exercise 2

[14:22.28]Listen to the story of Narcissus.

[14:26.72]It comes from Greece.Then answer the questions.

[14:33.38]far away,beside a quiet river somewhere 64,

[14:39.02]you might 65 be able to see,if you are lucky,a white flower.

[14:45.55]It is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world.

[14:50.91]Long, long ago, there was a young man called Narcissus.

[14:57.46]He was very beautiful.

[15:01.22]When he was growing up people used 66 to say,

[15:06.40]'How beautiful Narcissus is!'

[15:10.76]Everyone wanted to make friends with him,

[15:15.12]but Narcissus only wanted to make friends with people as beautiful as he was.

[15:23.38]One day, when he was going for a walk,Narcissus came to a river.

[15:30.22]He sat 67 down beside it and looked into the water.

[15:35.78]In the water, he saw 69 a face.'

[15:40.15]What a beautiful face I have never seen 70 such a beautiful face!' he thought.

[15:48.61]When he moved, the face moved.

[15:53.47]When he smiled, the face smiled.

[15:58.43]But when he spoke,the face in the water said nothing.

[16:04.49]Then, Narcissus understood.This was not another person.

[16:11.86]The face in the water was his own 68 face.

[16:16.82]He was the most beautiful person in the world!

[16:22.60]There was no one more beautiful than he was!

[16:27.56]Narcissus didn't want to go on living 71.

[16:33.02]He took 72 his knife and killed 73 himself.

[16:38.37]When his body fell to the ground,a white flower grew from the earth.

[16:45.22]This flower is even 74 more beautiful than Narcissus.

[16:50.49]It grows in quiet places near rivers,but it does not know that it is beautiful.

[16:59.14]If you love only yourself 75 you can never be happy.
