a lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. as
she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick on one. already at the end
of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so
he tried to flatter her: "an excellent choice, madam. you look at
least ten years younger with this hat on!" to his dismay, the lady
took off her hat at once and said: "i don’t want a hat that makes me
look ten years older as soon as i take it off. show me some more
hats!"
（5） not long after an old chinese
woman came back to china from her visit to her daughter in the states, she went
to a city bank to deposit the us dollars her daughter gave her. at the bank
counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. it
made the old lady out of patience.
at last she could not hold any more,
uttering. "trust me, sir, and trust the money. they are real us
dollars. they are directly from america."
（3）she kindled a third match. again
shot up the flame； and now she
was sitting under a most beautiful christmas tree ,far larger, and far more
prettily decked out, than the one she had seen last christ(请勿抄袭91考试网网：WwW.91exam.org)mas eve through the glass doors of the rich
merchant’s house. hundreds of wax-tapers lighted up the green branches, and
tiny painted figures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down
from the tree upon her. the child stretched out her hands towards them in
delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched； still, however, the christmas
candles burned higher and higher， she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven； one of them fell, the lights
streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail.
“now some one is
dying,” said the little girl, softly, for she had been told by her
old grandmother， the only
person who had ever been kind to her, and who was now dead that whenever a star
falls an immortal spirit returns to the god who gave it.
she struck yet another match against the
wall； it flamed
up, and surrounded by its light, appeared before her that same dear
grandmother, gentle and loving as always, but bright and happy as she had never
looked during her lifetime.
the six-year-old john was terribly spoiled

arms. when he came home from school his grandma met him at the
door."was school all right?" she asked, "did you get
