    One day a man bought a lot of coconuts（椰子）and put them all on his horse. He was moving them to his (friend) house. On the way, the man met a boy.

    "How long would it take to get to the house?" he asked the boy.

    "If you go (slow)," the boy said, "you will get there very soon. But if you go fast, it will take you all day."

    "What a funny reply!" said the man. He did not listen to the boy. He made his horse run as fast as possible. Some coconuts fell off. He had to stop(pick)them up. Then he made his horse run fast again. But the coconuts fell off again, and he(stop) again.

    He did this many (time), and it was night when he finally got to the place.
