The young man went to a town and worked there. He did not have a wife so a servant(仆人) did the work in his house.
The young man liked laughing a lot. He nailed(钉钉子) the servant’s shoes to the floor on Monday, and then laughed, because the servant put his feet in them and fell down.
The servant was not angry, but smiled.
Then the young man put brushes in his bed on Tuesday. The servant got into bed and hit the brushes with his feet. He was afraid. The young man laughed loudly again. Again the servant was not angry, but smiled.
Then on Wednesday the young man said to his servant, “You’re a nice, kind man. I am not going to be unkind to you again.”
The servant smiled and said, “And I’m not going to put any more mud(淤泥) from the street in your coffee.”
