9．In a small mountain village，there was a rich farmer．Everybody knew he was a very mean（吝嗇的） man，and no one wanted to work for him．One day he said，"I will give three meals and five dollars if anyone does a day's work for me．"On the first two days no one came to him．On the early morning of the third day a poor hungry man to his house and said that he was willing（心甘情愿的） to work for him．This man was more interested in the meals than money． "You can have your breakfast．"said the rich farmer．The poor man had a very small breakfast．"Now you can have your lunch．This will save a lot of time．"The man agreed and ate a poor lunch．After lunch the farmer said，"How about having your supper as well？" "I will try to enjoy another meal．"answered the man．Then he had his supper．This was again a poor one．When it was over，the farmer looked very pleased said，"Now，you can do a long day's work．" "I never work after supper!"said the man as he got up to leave．
