When Abe Lincoln was just a boy，he had to help his father look after their farm．It was hard work and there weren't any interesting things for him．Abe wanted to go to school，but there was no school there．Abe was sad most of the time．
Mrs Lincoln loved the boy very much．She tried her best to make Abe happy．One early morning she got up early and went to town．That was a long way and it took her a long time to get to town．She bought something there and started back．And it was late in the evening when she got home．
The next morning Mrs Lincoln said to Abe，“Today is your birthday．We're going to have aparty．” She put some food on the table，then brought out a present．
“A book！”Abe cried．It was an old book，but he liked it．A smile came to his face．He looked up at Mrs Lincoln and said，“Thank you，Mum．”

（A）21．Why is it that you never have an umbrella with you when it is raining？This morning，for instance，it looked like rain，so I made sure I took my umbrella along when I went to work．When I got out of the office，the weather cleared up．That's why I didn't take umbrella with me to meet my friend for lunch．Ofcourse，on my way back to the office，it poured with rain．I had to buy anew umbrella and after I bought it，the sun came out．It made me almost wish for rain．
（C）22．I saw a terrible little boy in the swimming pool this morning．I noticed him jump into the children's pool，splashing over allthe smallkids．After that I saw that he kept running along the side of the pool，which is very dangerous．The lifeguard stopped him and told him not to run about．But the next thing I knew，I saw him push a grown-up into the pool．And I later found out it was his father．
