The stone in the road
Once upon a time there was a king who often thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day,he had an idea.
Early one morning,the king disguised himself and went to a local village.He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone.Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched. The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart.He crashed into the stone,spilling the milk everywhere.“What fool put this stone here ” he shouted.He picked himself up and angrily went away. After a while,a group of women came along,each balancing a pot of water on their head.One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground.She picked herself up and limped away in tears.Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road. The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone but he found nobody making an attempt to move it.The king was in despair.“Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbours from harm ”
Just then,the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer.She had been working all day and was very tired.But when she saw the stone,she said to herself,“This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark.I'll move it out of the way.” The girl pushed the stone with all her might.After a great deal of effort,she finally succeeded in moving it to the side of the street.Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been! Just then,the king stepped out from behind the tree.“Oh sir,” the girl said,“does this gold belong to you If not, we surely must find the owner,for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said, “My dear,the gold is mine.I put it in the road and moved the stone over it.Now the gold is yours,because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.”

Remember:one good turn deserves another.I will recommend this story to as many people as I can.

美篇导读
《雾都孤儿》是英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯的作品。它以伦敦为背景,讲述了孤儿奥利弗悲惨的身世及遭遇,最后在善良人的帮助下,奥利弗查明了身世并获得了幸福。
美篇呈现
Oliver Twist(excerpt)
“Wolves tear your throats!”muttered① Sikes,grinding his teeth.“I wish I was among some of you; you'd howl the hoarser for it.”
As Sikes growled forth this imprecation,with the most desperate ferocity that his desperate nature was capable of,he rested the body of the wounded boy across his bended knee;and turned his head,for an instant,to look back at his pursuers②.
There was little to be made out,in the mist and darkness;but the loud shouting of men vibrated③ through the air,and the barking of the neighbouring dogs,roused by the sound of the alarm bell,resounded in every direction.
“Stop,you white-livered hound!” cried the robber,shouting after Toby Crackit, who,making the best use of his long legs,was already ahead.“Stop!”
The repetition of the word, brought Toby to a dead stand-still. For he was not quite satisfied that he was beyond the range of pistol-shot;and Sikes was in no mood to be played with.
“Bear a hand with the boy,” cried Sikes,beckoning furiously④ to his confederate.“Come back!”
Toby made a show of returning;but ventured⑤,in a low voice,broken for want of breath,to intimate⑥ considerable reluctance as he came slowly along.
“Quicker!” cried Sikes, laying the boy in a dry ditch at his feet, and drawing a pistol from his pocket.“Don't play booty with me.”
At this moment the noise grew louder. Sikes,again looking round,could discern⑦ that the men who had given chase were already climbing the gate of the field in which he stood;and that a couple of dogs were some paces in advance of them.
雾都孤儿(节选)
“让狼咬断你们的脖子!”赛克斯小声地说,牙齿咬得咯咯直响。“有朝一日你们谁也躲不掉,你们会把嗓子喊得更哑的。”
赛克斯骂骂咧咧地把这一番诅咒发泄出来,脸上那副不顾死活的样子充分体现了他的那种不顾死活的脾气。他把受伤的奥利弗横放在自己的膝盖上,回过头去看看后面的追兵。
夜黑雾浓,什么东西也辨别不出来,只有嘈杂喧闹的呼喊声在空中震响,邻近的狗被告急的钟声惊醒,此呼彼应地吠叫起来,四下里响成一片。
“站住,你这个胆小鬼!”这个强盗见托比·格拉基特撒开两条长腿,已经抢在了前边,便厉声喝道。“站住!”
听到第二声吆喝,托比猝然停了下来。他还不敢肯定自己已经脱离了手枪的射程,赛克斯可是根本没有心思闹着玩的。
“帮忙把这小子弄走,”赛克斯杀气腾腾地向同伙打了个手势。“回来!”
托比做出一副要折回来的样子,慢吞吞地朝这边走来,却大着胆子表示自己非常不情愿回去,声音不大,又因为喘气,说得断断续续。
“快些!”赛克斯叫道,他把奥利弗放在脚下一条干枯的水沟里,从衣袋里拔出一支手枪。“别跟我耍滑头。”
就在这时,喧闹声变得更嘈杂了。赛克斯又一次扭头看了看,可以断定追兵正在爬他所处的这一片田野的篱笆门,有两只狗跑在前面。

The fable titled “The stone in the road” is a moral story. It is about a king who wanted to teach villagers a lesson by hiding gold under the stone in the street.

In fact，what we should do is to take action at once to deal with our problems in our daily life. More importantly，we should learn from the selfless girl always caring for others in the story.

美篇呈现
Oliver Twist（excerpt）
“Wolves tear your throats！”muttered① Sikes，grinding his teeth.“I wish I was among some of you； you'd howl the hoarser for it.”
As Sikes growled forth this imprecation，with the most desperate ferocity that his desperate nature was capable of，he rested the body of the wounded boy across his bended knee；and turned his head，for an instant，to look back at his pursuers②.
There was little to be made out，in the mist and darkness；but the loud shouting of men vibrated③ through the air，and the barking of the neighbouring dogs，roused by the sound of the alarm bell，resounded in every direction.
“Stop，you white-livered hound！” cried the robber，shouting after Toby Crackit， who，making the best use of his long legs，was already ahead.“Stop！”
The repetition of the word， brought Toby to a dead stand-still. For he was not quite satisfied that he was beyond the range of pistol-shot；and Sikes was in no mood to be played with.
“Bear a hand with the boy，” cried Sikes，beckoning furiously④ to his confederate.“Come back！”
Toby made a show of returning；but ventured⑤，in a low voice，broken for want of breath，to intimate⑥ considerable reluctance as he came slowly along.
“Quicker！” cried Sikes， laying the boy in a dry ditch at his feet， and drawing a pistol from his pocket.“Don't play booty with me.”
At this moment the noise grew louder. Sikes，again looking round，could discern⑦ that the men who had given chase were already climbing the gate of the field in which he stood；and that a couple of dogs were some paces in advance of them.
雾都孤儿（节选）
“让狼咬断你们的脖子！”赛克斯小声地说，牙齿咬得咯咯直响。“有朝一日你们谁也躲不掉，你们会把嗓子喊得更哑的。”
赛克斯骂骂咧咧地把这一番诅咒发泄出来，脸上那副不顾死活的样子充分体现了他的那种不顾死活的脾气。他把受伤的奥利弗横放在自己的膝盖上，回过头去看看后面的追兵。
夜黑雾浓，什么东西也辨别不出来，只有嘈杂喧闹的呼喊声在空中震响，邻近的狗被告急的钟声惊醒，此呼彼应地吠叫起来，四下里响成一片。
“站住，你这个胆小鬼！”这个强盗见托比·格拉基特撒开两条长腿，已经抢在了前边，便厉声喝道。“站住！”
听到第二声吆喝，托比猝然停了下来。他还不敢肯定自己已经脱离了手枪的射程，赛克斯可是根本没有心思闹着玩的。
“帮忙把这小子弄走，”赛克斯杀气腾腾地向同伙打了个手势。“回来！”
托比做出一副要折回来的样子，慢吞吞地朝这边走来，却大着胆子表示自己非常不情愿回去，声音不大，又因为喘气，说得断断续续。
“快些！”赛克斯叫道，他把奥利弗放在脚下一条干枯的水沟里，从衣袋里拔出一支手枪。“别跟我耍滑头。”
就在这时，喧闹声变得更嘈杂了。赛克斯又一次扭头看了看，可以断定追兵正在爬他所处的这一片田野的篱笆门，有两只狗跑在前面。
