B
About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied（否認）it. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you don’t hand it over immediately, I’ll be forced to call the police.”
The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what you suppose he answered?
He said, “Oh, don’t thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please.”

One day, a boy said to a girl, "If I have only one bowl of gruel, I shall give one half to my mother, and the other half to you." The little girl liked the little boy from then on. That year he was twelve and she was ten.
Ten years passed. When their village was flooded, he ceaselessly rescued others, including old people, children, the acquainted and the unacquainted, everyone except her in person. After she was rescued by others, somebody asked him, "Since you like her, why didn't you rescue her?" He answered gently, "It's just because I love her that I first rescued others. I would never live alone if she died." So they got married. That year he was twenty two and she was twenty.
Later, the whole country suffered from famine. They also had few in the pot. Finally, only an ounce of noodles were left, and they cooked a bowl of noodles in soup. He was reluctant to eat and let her eat; she was reluctant to eat and let him eat! Three days later, the bowl of noodles went moldy. At that time, he was forty two and she was forty.
Since his grandfather was ever a landlord, he was criticized and denounced in public meetings. During those special years, the "Organization" asked her to "make clear the borderline and distinguish right and wrong", but she said, "I don't know who is the inner enemy, but I do know he is a good man. He loves me and I also love him. That's enough." That year he was fifty two and she was fifty.
Many years passed, he and she began to practice Qigong in order to keep healthy. Because they were transferred to a town, every morning they took a bus to the city center park. When a young man offered his seat to them, each of them wouldn't take the seat because the other had to stand. Therefore, holding the handrail, they leaned each other with content smiles on their faces, and all of other passengers couldn't help standing up. That year he was seventy two and she was seventy.
She said, "When we were both dead ten years later, I must turn into him and he must turn into me, then he could drink the half bowl of gruel that I give him!"
