Yang Ling a story to us.
Billy is a student in Grade Two. He doesn't work hard at his lessons. He likes to play. But he thinks he is very clever.
One afternoon Billy goes home after school. He is very hungry. So he says to his mother, “Mum, I'm hungry. Can I have something to eat?”
“Supper is not ready. But here are two apples. You can eat them first.” Says his mother.
Billy takes the two apples in his hands. He looks at the apples and says, “Mum, I have three apples now. Look, this is the first one. This is the second one. One and two is three. Right?”
“Oh, yes, you are very clever, Billy.” Says his mother, “Now please give me the first one. Give your father the second one. And you eat the third one.”

One day, the rich man said to him, I'll give you a bag of money every day if (假如) you stop singing.
“Fine,” said the musician. So he stopped singing and became a rich man, too. But he wasn't happy, because he wanted to sing again.
