Mr. Smith lived in a town by the sea. He had a few shops in the center of the town. He managed them carefully and got a lot of money. He was very rich but he didn’t think he was the richest in the town. So he tried to get more money. Once Mr. Smith was asked to dinner.He heard there was a circus troupe (马戏团) in the town, which had nothing special except a five-legged cow. But people were interested in it and most of them went to see it.
On his way home, Mr. Smith heard an old man saying there lived a lot of one-eyed persons on an island. “Oh, dear!” the greedy man thought to himself. “If I catch a one-eyed man and show him all over the country, I’ll get much money!”
After he got home, he told his sons to manage the shops instead of him and he went to look for the island, without telling anybody about it. At last he reached the island and saw some one-eyed children.He was so happy that he rushed towards the youngest one and carried him on his back. But he didn’t know the danger was coming to him. A few one-eyed men ran to him with knives in their hands. He threw the child to the ground and was hurrying off, but it
was too late. They caught him and showed him on the island because only he had two eyes there!
