One day a poor farmer1 taking a bag of rice to town. Suddenly the bag fell off his cart (马车) onto the road. He didn't know2 he could do about it because it was too3 for him to lift (举起)alone. He only hoped that someone would soon pass by and give him a hand.

Just at this moment, a man riding a4 came up to him. But the farmer felt5 when he saw who he was. It was the great man who lived nearby. He thought the great man6 help him, and hoped another farmer would come up. But the man got7 his horse right away and said, "I think you need help." Then he took one end of the bag and the farmer took8 . They lifted it together and put it on the cart. "Sir, " asked the farmer, "how much should I9 for you?" "Don't mention it, " the great man answered. "when you see10 else in trouble, do the same for him."
