Question

【題目】 There was once a poor woman with only one son. One day, she asked her son if there was anything he wanted. The boy said he wanted a drum. The mother left for the market, feeling very sad, because she did not have enough money to buy a drum.

On the way home, she found a piece of wood and gave it to her son to play with. Later that day, the boy went outside to play. Along the road, he saw an old woman crying. The old woman was trying to start a fire to cook some food, but she didn't have any wood. Hearing this, the boy gave her his piece of wood. The old woman gave him a piece of the bread she had made.

Then, further down the road, the boy met a pot maker's wife and her crying child. The boy asked her what was wrong. The woman said she had no food for her hungry child. The boy gave the woman the piece of bread, and she gave him a pot. The boy walked on.

Before long, he saw a husband and wife arguing. He asked them why they were arguing. They said, “We have broken our pot and have nothing to clean our clothes in.” The boy gave his pot to them, and they gave the boy a new coat.

Next, the boy saw a man who had no shirt. The man said he had been robbed(搶劫) on his way home. The robbers had taken this money, and his shirt. The boy gave the man his new coat. The man was so happy that he gave the boy his horse.

Finally, on his way home, the boy met a huge group of people going to a wedding. There were musicians, the bridegroom(新郎)，and his family. Everyone looked sad. The bridegroom's father said, “We are waiting for a horse. If it doesn't come soon, we will be late for the wedding.” The boy gave them his new horse. The group asked the boy what they could give him, and he replied, “A drum.” So, the musicians gave him their drum.
