Robert is sixteen now. He’ll finish middle school in two years. His father has a shop and gets much money. He hopes his son can go to university, so he lets him study hard. But the young man likes to play cards. He has to go out when his parents fall asleep.
One night, when Robert came back, his father happened to see him. The old man was very angry and told his son to live upstairs (楼上). Robert had to go up and down quietly. Of course it troubled him. He thought and thought but didn’t find a way.
Last evening Robert listened carefully. And he was sure his parents went to sleep, he went out to play cards with his friends. He won some money and was happy. After he got back, he took off his shoes and was going upstairs. He heard a noise in his parents’ bedroom. He stood behind the door and saw a man come out. He understood it was a thief. He stopped him at once. The man was very afraid and brought out all the things he stole (偷) in the room.
“Tell me how you didn’t wake my parents up,” said Robert. “Or I’ll take you to the police station!”

Mr. Smith gave his wife money every Friday evening. His wife always spent all the money the next Wednesday, so that for the next three days she had no money to spend at all. One day Mr. Smith asked her, “How did you spend all that money?” She answered, “I don't know.” So one Friday evening, Mr. Smith gave her money together with an exercise book and a pencil. He said to his wife, “Please write down how you spend the money.” Next Tuesday, his wife had no money again. Mr. Smith took the exercise book to see how she had spent it. “I did what you told me,” she said.
