Question

  John is a good boy. He studies hard and is never late for school. He has a lot of friends. He often helps them and they all like him. But John always thinks himself the cleverest in his class,and looks down upon(看不起)others.

This term,a new student,Fred,came to his class. He’s thin and short and talked with few boys. So no children knew him well. And John laughed at him. But Fred didn’t mind(介意)at all.

One day,John went to Mike’s birthday party. He sang,danced and showed all his talents(才能)to the children. After that he said to Fred, “What are you going to show us,my friend?” “I’m not clever，” said Fred. “Can you guess some of my riddles(健语)？”

“ Certainly，I can，” said John.

Fred told some riddles,but John couldn’t guess any right. At last Fred said, “Now I’ll tell you the easiest riddle. Listen to me carefully. You’ll guess it right this time. Something has two heads,six legs,a long nose and a short nose. Can you tell me what it is?”

John thought hard,but couldn’t get the answer. His face turned red and said, “What is it?” “It’s a man riding an elephant!”

John no longer said anything at the party.
