Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of ears. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.
“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.
Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.
“And then what” asked Pablo.
“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend all of his free time playing with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had some work to do for the evening, and he couldn’t play with his little boy. But he wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. Then he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover.
He got an idea. He removed the map, and then tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his pocket. When he got home, the little boy was ready to play with his dad. The man said he had work to do and couldn't play just now, but he took out all the pieces of the map and spread (撒)them on the table. He said it was a map of the world, and by the time he could put it back together, his work would be finished, and they could then play.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished. Can we play now?"The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And sure enough, there was the picture of the world; all put together, every piece in its place. The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."
1. Did the man loved the little boy very much.?
2. Why wasn’t the man able to play with the boy one night?

In 1816, there were no schools for the deaf in America. Several people started a few schools, but in the end all of the schools closed. There were too many problems. The first people to succeed were Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. They opened their school in 1817, and the school did not close.

Today it is called the American School for the Deaf. It is in West Hartford, Connecticut.
