Two children stood outside the door with old coats. “Any old papers， Lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say no， but I saw that their shoes were broken and wet. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea.” They came in， saying nothing. Their shoes left snow on the floor.
I gave them tea and bread to protect them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.
The silence in the front room surprised me. I looked in.
The girl held the empty cup in her hands， looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice，“Lady， are you rich?”
Am I rich? Oh， no! I looked at my old things in my room.
The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully. “Your cups match your saucers.”
They left then， holding their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. The blue cups and saucers were simple. But they said that they matched. The potatoes and meat before me， a roof over our hands， my husband with a job—these things matched， too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there to remind (提醒) me how rich I was.

Once upon a time， there was a spider with the name Anansi. He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn’t wise. He didn’t like this， but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom. The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.
Soon his basket was full， but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒)of his wisdom and take _it_ from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body， he tried to climb the tree， but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.
Then his youngest son walked by， “What are you doing， father?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.
Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily， but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever， but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.
