     A farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener, and his brother had a garden full of the finest fruit trees. So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmer went into the town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well.

      "Look, my brother," said the gardener. "I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden, and you, and your children, and your children's children will enjoy it."

       Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother's farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it.

"If I plant it on the hill," he said to himself, "the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take away the apples--but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit." So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).

      Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second-then the farmer called his brother. When the gardener came, the farmer said angrily, "You have cheated me, and given me a useless tree instead of a fruitful one. This is the third year and still it brings out nothing but leaves! "

      The gardener laughed and said, "See where the tree was planted, it has no sun or warmth. How could you expect flowers and fruit?"

骆驼祥子(选段)

    ①整整的三年,他凑足了一百块钱!

    ②他不能再等了。原来的计划是买辆最完全最新式最可心的车,现在只好按着一百块钱说了。不能再等:万一出点什么事再丢失几块呢!恰巧有辆刚打好的车(定作而没钱取货的)跟他所期望的车差不甚多:本来值一百多,可是因为定钱放弃了,车铺愿意少要一点。祥子的脸通红,手哆嗦着,拍出九十六块钱来:“我要这辆车!”铺主打算挤到个整数,说了不知多少话,把他的车拉出去又拉进来,支开棚子,又放下,按按喇叭,每一个动作都伴着一大串最好的形容词;最后还在钢轮条上踢了两脚,“听听声儿吧,铃铛似的!拉去吧,你就是把车拉碎了,要是钢条软了一根,你拿回来,把它摔在我脸上!一百块,少一分咱们吹!”祥子把钱又数了一遍:“我要这辆车,九十六!”铺主知道是遇见了一个死心眼的人,看看钱,看看祥子,叹了口气:“交个朋友,车算你的了。保六个月,除非你把大箱碰碎,我都白给修理。保单,拿着!”

    ③祥子的手哆嗦得更厉害了,揣起保单,拉起车,几乎要哭出来。拉到个僻静的地方,细细端详自己的车,在漆板上试着照照自己的脸!越看越可爱,就是那不尽合自己的理想的地方也都可以原谅了,因为已经是自己的车了。把车看得似乎暂时可以休息会儿了,他坐在了水簸箕的新脚垫儿上,看着车把上的发亮的黄铜喇叭。他忽然想起来,今年是二十二岁。因为父母死得早,他忘了生日是在哪一天。自从到城里来,他没过一次生日。好吧,今天买上了新车,就算是生日吧,人的也是车的,好记,而且车既是自己的心血,简直没什么不可以把人与车算在一块的地方。

    ④怎样过这个“双寿”呢?祥子有主意:头一个买卖必须拉个穿得体面的人,绝对不能是个女的。最好是拉到前门,其次是东安市场。拉到了,他应当在最好的饭摊上吃顿饭,如热烧饼夹爆羊肉之类的东西。吃完,有好买卖呢,就再拉一两个;没有呢,就收车:这是生日!

    ⑤自从有了这辆车,他的生活过得越来越起劲了。拉包月也好,拉散座也好,他天天用不着为“车份儿”着急,拉多少钱全是自己的。心里舒服,对人就更和气,买卖也就更顺心。拉了半年,他的希望更大了:照这样下去,干上二年,至多二年,他就又可以买辆车,一辆,两辆……他也可以开车厂子了!

可是,希望多半落空,祥子的也非例外。
