题目内容:
There was a farmer who always sold a pound of butter to a baker (面包师). At the same time he bought a pound of bread from the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh (称的重量) the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This made him very angry, so he took the farmer to the court (法庭).
The judge (法官) asked the farmer if he played tricks (诡计) on selling the butter to the baker. The farmer replied, “I don’t play any tricks. I only have a scale (天平).”
The judge asked, “Then how do you weigh the butter?”
The farmer replied, “My dear judge, I don’t know how much a pound of butter weighs, but every time the baker comes to buy butter, he will bring a pound of bread for me. Then I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If the butter is less than it should be, there must be something wrong with the baker.”
Sometimes we will get back what we give to others in our life. So please be nice to others if you want them to be nice to you.
