An old worker, Tom, did well in building houses and he was ready to leave his job. He expected to have a good rest and buy a big house for himself. His boss（老板）was sorry to see the good worker go. He asked Tom 1 he could build just one more house. Tom said yes, 2, his mind was not on his work any more. He used little materials(材料) and didn't work on the house 3.When Tom finished his work, his boss 4 the key to him. “This is your house, "he said, "A gift（礼物） for you. What a surprise! What a pity! If he had known he was building 5 own house, he would do it best. Now he had to live in that house.
