It was a cold evening.It s while an old man was walking in the street.原文,

Once an old man was walking in a street with his horse.It was raining hard.The old
man was cold because he was walking in the rain.He wanted to stay in a restaurant.It was
a quarter past three in the afternoon.The old man got to a small restaurant.There were a lot
of people in it.The old man couldn't come near the fire.He thought and thought.At last he
said
to
the waiters,
"Take some fish to
my horse." The waiter and the people were very
surprised.The waiter said,"A horse doesn't eat fish." The old man told the waiter,"This
horse
is
very
interesting.
It
can
sing,
dance
and
does
all
kinds
of
things.
It
can
eat
fish,
too," So the waiter brought the horse some fish.
All the people in the restaurant ran out to see the horse eat fish except the old man.
Now the old man sat beside the fire.After a while the waiter came back and said."Your
horse didn't eat any fish." The old man said,"All right,take the fish back and put it on the
table.I'll eat it." (195)
