before he got enough courage (勇气) to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush
blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant
listened carefully and told him he"d better buy a necklace. He wasn"t used to buying jewelry and was a little
worried about overspending. After some discussion as to reasonable price and type, the assistant showed him
dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return
at five o"clock. When, half an hour later, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant
acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first
brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice
was soon made and they went away, satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when
he got married.

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages. On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages." The sailors had heard about the captain"s cheating, so they didn"t trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away. "You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire"s warming you." "But it"s half a mile away!" said the sailor. "A fire"s fire," answered the captain. "I have won." The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can"t cook a chicken." "I can," answered the captain. "If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can"t, you will give me your ship."
