Answer the questions.
One day a poor farmer was taking a bag of
rice to town. Suddenly the bag fell from his horse on the road. He didn't know
how to do about it because it was too heavy for him to lift it by himself. He
only hoped that somebody would soon pass by and help him.
Just at this moment a man riding a horse
came up to him. But the farmer was very disappointed when he saw who he was. It
was a great man living nearby. The farmer had hoped to ask another farmer or a
poor man like him.
But to his surprise, the great man got off
his horse as soon as he came nearer. He said to the farmer, "I see you
need help, friend. How good it is that I'm here just at the right time."
Then he took one end of the bag, and the farmer took the other. They together
lifted the bag and put it on the horse.
"Sir," asked the farmer, "How
can I pay you"
"It's quite easy," the great man
answered with a smile. "Wherever you see anyone else in trouble, do the
same for him."
