    Black Spider(蜘蛛)was having trouble catching bugs(臭虫)in his web, while Grey Spider caught two bugs in his.

    “You are so lucky,” Black Spider said to Grey Spider. “You have two bugs while I have none. It's not fair(公平的).”

    “Everyone has lucky days and unlucky days. Let's eat the bugs together,” said Grey Spider.

    Black Spider decided to join Grey Spider for lunch.

    “You must do some special things to get lucky, is it magic?” Grey Spider whispered.

    “No, build your web!” said Black Spider. “Repair your web! Enlarge your web! Make your web wider!”

    “Is that all?”

    “Yes, build a new web!” said Grey Spider.

    After lunch, Black Spider went back and made a new web. He built his web wider. Once he was done he slept all through the night because he was very tired.

    In the morning, Black Spider was excited to see four bugs in his web. He told Grey Spider about it. Grey Spider smiled at Black Spider. “By enlarging your web, you have enlarged your possibility to catch all these bugs,” Grey Spider said. “There is chance all around us. Luck is everywhere. You need to work to make it so more good luck comes your way.”

    When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.

    The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars.

    “I've made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.

    It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that.

    The money must be paid back, he decided.

    At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.

    Here is another story of young Lincoln's strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.

    The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe", was well deserved(应得的).
