(2) The Artist and the Beggar（1）
An artist was coming home by train one day. He hadn't much money but was very kind. He gave his last few coins（2） to a beggar, but he saw another one,
and forgot that he didn't have any money in his pockets. He asked the man
if he liked to have lunch with him, and the beggar, of course, agreed. So
they went into a small restaurant and had a good meal.
In the end, the artist could not pay the bill（3）, and the beggar had to do so. The artist felt very sorry for it, so he said to the beggar, “Come
home with me in a taxi, my friend. And I'll give you the money for our
lunch.
“Oh, no! the beggar answered quickly. “I had to pay for your lunch, but I'm not going to pay for your taxi home!

(5) Eating
An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend
of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money.
The other person may say,“O??甥??汬洠敥?潹?瑡??湯污╤??猹尮
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith's, or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They're great. This means
the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this
person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just
say,“Thank you. That would be very nice.
American customs（1） about who pays for dates（2） are much the same as in
other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to
pay for all the meals. But, today, a university（3） girl or a woman in
business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her
for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest（4）.”
So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the
very beginning.

Bill and Fred studied at a university and they were friends. They didn't have much money, so when it was time for their holidays, Fred said, “Let's
take our holidays in a trailer[1], Bill. It's cheaper than a hotel. I can
borrow my father's trailer.”
Fred was very happy. So they got into the trailer and began their holidays. They wanted to get up early the next day to go fishing, but they didn't have an alarm[1] clock.

Some children think writers are great and they can tell people a lot. So they also wish to be writers some day. They mean that they want to write stories
or books which many persons will read. I would like to remind[1] them that
they will need to be good readers and to read a lot in order to[2] be good writers.
Nearly all great writers read too long before they started to school, and read for hours and hours every day since they became good readers. Instead of
watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their spare[3] time reading books.
If you are a good reader, it won't take you long to do the reading homework
your teacher asks you to do. Then you will have time to read other books
for fun. Because you read so well, you keep looking for more books to read.
While making up your mind[4] to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself,“I must read more and more if I am really to become a good writer.
