Suddenly she heard a loud bell and a bicycle came round. It passed her and went very fast down the hill. The old woman had to jump up to one side of the road so quickly that the basket of cabbages nearly fell into the valley (山谷).
She looked up, and saw that a young boy was on the bicycle. He was riding on without even looking round to see whether the old woman was all right. The old woman began to shout, "Come back，young man! You dropped something!"
When he heard this, the boy stopped the bicycle so suddenly that he nearly fell off. Then he turned and began to push the bicycle back up to the hill. "What is it?" he asked. "What did I drop?" "Little boy," the old woman answered, "you dropped your manners."
