AN ARAB AND HIS SONS
Far to the East there lived in old days an
Arab who had three sons, whom he dearly loved. He had seventeen beautiful
horses whom he loved.
One day the old man became very ill.
Feeling that the end was near, he called his sons to give one - half of his
horses, to the second son - one third, and to the youngest - one-ninth.
The sons met to divide the horses but they didn't know how to divide
them.
"How
can I take one half of seventeen horses?" said the eldest son. "1 can't divide a living horse
in two. "And how can I," asked the second, "take one third of
seventeen horses? But this is what my father wanted me to do".
"I also want to do what my father wanted us to. But what is one
ninth of seventeen horses?"
At that time an old man came riding on a horse. "May be he can tell
us", they said hopefully. They told their story to him.
The man began to think. Several minutes passed before he spoke. At last
he said, "Take my horse and there will be eighteen".
They did so. The elder son took one half of the horses. Then the second
son called
the horses, which he loved best, and the six animals came running to
him. And the
youngest son took two horses. The sons said lo the man: "You
divided the horses
wonderfully. Say what you want us to give you for it".
"I shall take all the horses that are left",
said the old man and he rode away with his own horse.

The Boy who Saved the Netherlands.
Many years ago in Harlem, Holland,
there lived a young boy. His name was Hans and he was eight years old. One
autumn day, Hans went across the channel
to visit an old blind man. He took the man some biscuits and stayed
there for a while. Then, Hans
decided to return home.
“Be careful, Hans” said the
old man. “The water in the canal usually gets higher in autumn.” On his way
home, Hans sang a song, watched the rabbits run around and picked some flowers
for his mother. Suddenly, the sky got dark and heavy rain began to fall. Hans
felt scared and started to run. Just then, he heard the sound of water flowing
away .He looked around carefully, and then noticed a very small hole in the
dike.
Hans felt frightened because he knew what
could happen. The small hole could get bigger and bigger. Then the dike could
burst and flood Holland.
Hans knew what to do. He put his finger into the hole, so no more water cold
come through it. “Please, someone help me!” Hans shouted. But there was no one
to help him. After a while, he began to feel very cold and tired, but he could
not leave the dike. All night long, Hans waited and waited…
The next morning, a priest walked by and
heard Hans’ cries. “I am trying to stop the water,” the boy said. “Can you help
me?” the priest called some other people and they quickly mended the hole.
Finally, they took Hans home. Everyone was very proud of that brave boy.
