The old woman and the doctor 老太太與醫(yī)生
An old woman lost her sight and called a doctor for help. She said， “If you heal me， I will give you a large sum of money.” And she said this in front of many people.
The doctor agreed， and he came every day to put medicine in her eyes. But each time he came， he stole something from her house.
Finally， he stole all of her valuable things. Then he gave her new medicine and healed her.When he was done， he demanded that she give him the money.
But the woman saw that her things were gone， and said no.
The doctor brought a judge to the woman‘s house. He thought， “I will certainly win such a simple case.”
The judge asked the woman， “Did you promise to give him money.” The doctor said， “She did. Many people heard.”
The woman said sadly， “It is true，” and the doctor smiled.
But then she said， “Before I lost my sight， though， I saw valuable things in my house. Many people also saw them. But now I don’t see them. So the doctor has not really healed my eyes.”
The judge decided that the woman was right.

lose （one’s）sight
解析1
*Sight 在此指視力，所以lose（one’s）sight就是指失明。
The man lost his sight in a car accident.那名男子因一場(chǎng)車禍而失明了。
解析2
*由near（近的）加上sight（視力）變化而來的形容詞nearsighted就是指近視的；反之，farsighted指的就是遠(yuǎn)視的。
I’m nearsighted and can’t see clearly without my glasses.我有近視，沒有眼鏡就看不清楚。

The deer at the pond 池塘邊的鹿
There once lived a deer who had large， strong antlers. The antlers protected the deer from attacks， so enemies left him alone.
One day， the deer went to a pond to drink. The water was like a mirror. When the deer looked at his big antlers in the water， he was proud. “I look like a king，” he said， “and this forest is my kingdom.”
Then he noticed something else. “My legs are slender and my feet are small，” he said. “They look so weak. I hate them.”
While the deer was complaining， a wolf appeared at the pond. When the deer saw him， he ran toward the trees. The wolf quickly ran after him.
The deer was a fast runner and reached the trees first，but then his large antlers got stuck in some branches. When the wolf caught up to him， the deer cried out with regret.
“I admired my antlers， but they are the cause of my troubles. My legs and feet could have saved me， but I hated them. I didn‘t appreciate what was truly valuable！”

Once upon a time， there was an old lion. He was very slow， and it was difficult for him to catch any animals. When he did catch one， it always got away. He was too weak to hold onto them.
Then he had an idea！ He told all the other animals that he was sick. Then he lay down in a cave and waited. When the other animals came to visit him， he leaped up and ate them.
One day， an old and wise fox walked past the entrance to the cave. He called out to the lion and asked him how he was. “Bad，” answered the hungry lion， “why don‘t you come in and visit me？”
But the wise fox sensed danger. He had noticed that there were many tracks going into the cave and none at all coming back out. “No， thanks，” said the wise fox. “I have lived to be very old because I always see the signs of danger before it is too late.”
