1. One day,mother looked at Nick's shoes and said,"Nick,look at your shoes.How dirty they are! You must clean them again.""I don't want to clean them today. Even if I clean them today, they will be dirty again tomorrow."
Nick’s mother thought for a moment and said, “All right, don’t do it then.”
In the evening, Nick came back from school. He was very hungry. “Mother, give me something to eat, please.” He said. “You had your breakfast in the morning, Nick, and you had a lunch at school."His mother said."I am hungry again,” cried the boy. “Oh, hungry. But if I give you something to eat today, you will be hungry again tomorrow.”

2. “What is the most valuable(有价值的)thing in the world?” a friend asked Sidney.
“Advice,” Sidney answered.
“What is the most worthless(无价值的)thing in the world?” the friend asked again.
“Advice,” Sidney replied again.
“How can advice be both the most valuable and the most worthless thing in the world?”
“Well,” answered Sidney. “If you think about the matter carefully, you will see that I am not joking, and then I am quite right. When you give someone good advice, and he takes it, advice is the most valuable thing in the world. But when you give a person advice and he does not take it, it is the most worthless thing in the world.”
