Next Sunday is Father’s Day, and Mary wants to buy a special gift for her father. Her father was fifty-eight and would retire in two years. She looked at the Father’s Day advertisements in the newspaper, but they mostly had sales on ties and bottles of beer. Her father doesn’t like to wear ties, and he never drinks beer. He used to go fishing on the weekends, but lately he’s been staying home and working in the garden. Mary can spend about $45 on her father’s gift. She wants to buy him something that he will use every week. Last year she got him a sweater and two T-shirts. She wants to get him something different this year, such as gardening or fishing tools.

A Man was going to the house of a rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side. He said, "I don't want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time, then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, because I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He didn't eat anything that day. He came to the apples, and took them out of the dust and ate them.
