24、 Once upon a time, there was a fair with different shops in town. Among those was a small shop set up by a young man.
The shop was filled with colorful jewelry and other things made of glass. One of the pieces caught a jeweler’s eye. It was shining so brightly that the jeweler thought it was a precious diamond(珍贵的钻石). He asked the shop owner,” What’s the price of this piece?”
“20 dollars,” replied the owner.
The jeweler wanted to save some money, so he said, “I can give you only 15 dollars for it.”
The shop owner refused.
There weren’t many people around the shop, so the jeweler thought to himself, “If I come back later, the shop owner may change his mind.” After hanging about for a while, he returned to the shop, only to find the piece missing. He asked the shop owner, “Where is the piece I asked for a moment ago?”
The shop owner replied , “I sold it for 20 dollars.”
The jeweler got angry and said,” What a fool(傻瓜)you are! It was not a glass piece but a precious diamond.”

25、If you want to do a school project on children’s rights(权利), you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
◆Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered (庇护) by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
◆Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
◆Children must not be cruelly punished (惩罚)by their parents or any others.
◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待) and neglect(忽略).
◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
