Passage B

话题：寓言故事 词数：270 参考用时：6分钟

Once upon a time, there was a spider with the name Anansi. He knew that he was very clever but he also

knew he wasn't wise(英明的). He didn't like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an

idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their

wisdom(智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So

each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.

Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒 ) of his

wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket

to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again

without success.

Then his youngest son walked by. "What are you doing, father?" he asked and Anansi told him." Why

don't you carry the basket on your back instead?" his son said.

Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn't happy. "I walked all over the

village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than

me. Take back your wisdom!" he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home.

And that's how wisdom went all over the world.

( ) 1. Anansi went around the village because_______.
