1 . Jack had to deliver the coconuts（送椰子）to the home of a businessman, Sam. He started early in the morning, got the coconuts ready, and put all of them into large baskets. He then fastened the baskets to the back of his horse. Just as Jack started on the road to Sam's house, he saw a young boy.
‘How long will it take to reach Sam's house? 'asked Jack.
‘If you go slowly, 'said the boy, ‘you will be there very soon. But if you go very fast, you will get there tomorrow. 'What a foolish boy! ” thought Jack, ‘That boy is not very clever! ". Then Jack began to hurry down the road. As he pulled the horse along at a fast speed, coconuts began to fall out of the baskets.
Jack had to stop to pick up the coconuts and put them on the horse's back again.
‘Now I have lost time, Jack thought, ‘I have to hurry to make up for（弥补）the lost time. ' More coconuts fell off the top of the full baskets. The more Jack tried to hurry, the more coconuts fell and rolled away.
The sun began to set, and Jack saw Sam's house at the top of the hill. He began to hurry once more. It made the horse fall down. The coconuts again flew out of the baskets and rolled onto the ground. This time, the sun really set.
