My mother used to say, "You can train man and dogs to do almost anything. You just have to reward their good behavior with food!" I can still remember the day when Mr. Edgar Wentworth put her theory (理论) to the 1.
It seems that every town has at least one person who finds purpose in disturbing(打扰) others and in Greenfield that 2 was Edgar Wentworth.
Edgar often came to our house and helped himself to Mother's fresh 3. I still remember one day when my father and I were 4 the barn(马房), Mr. Wentworth bragged(说大话) at a 5 distance so as not to get dirty. I knew that he was about to face judgment when I saw my mother walking toward us 6.
Mother said she just put some desserts in the oven for us to eat while they were 7. She then turned to our lazy neighbor directly, saying that "it takes 8 to put food on our table, and only those who work are invited to take food off it. So, if you choose to 9 us, you'd better have dirty hands and a 10 back. And you must know that I don't allow 11 big or of money in my house." Her 12 were as sharp as the knife. He either was embarrassed or truly wanted the desserts because he immediately set about helping with our work until he sweated. It was the 13 time that anyone had ever seen him work.
From then on, Edgar was quick to help out whenever he visited, and we never again had to suffer his bragging.
Like my mother used to say, "Building 14 in people is much like making pickles(泡菜). It takes both sugar and vinegar, and using the 15 amount of each makes the difference."
