A

One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop.

Suddenly

he

saw

Seth,

a

lazy,

good-for- nothing

fellow

grab

a

pound

of

fresh

butter and hide it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act

than

he

hit

upon

exactly

the

right

revenge

(

报复

).

He

would

punish

the

thief,

and satisfy his own appetite for fun.

Seth

had

his

hat

on

his

head,

and

the

butter

in

his

hat. He

was

anxious

to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of

hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to

the stove. The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he

could possibly fit inside.

Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair,

so he jumped up, declaring that he must go.

“Sit down; don’t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing

him back into the chair again.

Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor

man

’

s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove.

Then, as if surprised, he remarked,

“

You seem to be sweating as if you

were warm! Let me put your hat away for yo

u.”

“No!”

exclaimed

poor

Seth

at

last,

unable

to

stand

it

a

moment

longer.

“No, I must go; let me out.”

A greasy

（油腻的）

waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor

man

’

s

face

and

neck,

soaking

（浸泡）

into

his

clothes,

and

trickling

down

his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe.

Just as his victim

rushed out the door, the grocer said,

“

I think the

fun I

’

ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan

’

t charge you for

that pound of butter in your hat.

”

A. Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.

B. Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.

longer

the

hobby

of

adults

alone,

knitting

(

编织

)

is

now

considered

cool for all ages. Now, let’s look at the story of

Sander Pickard in

Berthoud.

Sander is an eight-year-old boy who is on a task to break the world

record for finger knitting, a type of knitting done without needles. The

last count of Sander

’s knitting string was 188 meters, though it is much

longer now.

said

the

teacher.

So

many

different people have contributed to the task, and it is colorful.

“

It

looks like a giant beautiful butterfly. The girls at school help him by

knitting in colors.”

Sander

’s

interest in

knitting originated not only from his mother’s

influence,

but

from

Lisa

Bauer,

who

teaches

knitting

at

Berthoud

Library.

Bauer’s

love

of

knitting

began

as

a

child,

and

became

stronger

and

stronger.

As a former school teacher, Bauer has done research on the benefits of

introducing children to knitting.

“

Knitting makes talkative children

quiet, and helps them pay attention to what they are doing. It offers

children pleasure in the course, and when they finally finish a piece of

knitting, they get excited and are satisfied.

”

Bauer said,

“

Using both

hands makes children smarter, by stimulating a lot of different nerve

centers in the brain.

”

To

pass

time

while

riding

in

the

car,

watching

TV,

or

listening

to

the

radio at home, Sander often knits. While not working on breaking world

records, Sander enjoys knitting, lying in a hammock (

吊床

) between two

branches

of

his

home’s

apple

tree.

It
