Good and Bad Things
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson lived in a big crowded city, and one summer they took a vacation in the country. They enjoyed it very much, because it was a quite, clean place and very different from the city.
One day they went for a walk early in the morning and met an old man. He lived on a farm and he was sitting alone in the warm sun outside his front door. Mr. Wilson asked him, «Do you like living in such a quite place?»
The old man said, «Yes, I do».
Mr. Wilson said, «What are the good things about it?»
The old men answered, «Well, everybody knows everybody else. People often come and visit me, and I go and visit them. And there are a lot of children here».
Mr. Wilson said, «That's interesting. And what are the bad things?»
The old man thought for a minute and then said, «Well, the same thing really».
