  One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, saying:“My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone(砂輪)”

  “Yes , sir,” said I.

  “You are a fine little fellow!” said the man.“Will you let me grind(磨)my ax?”

  Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir.The grindstone is down in the shop.”

  Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.

  “How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen.Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”

  Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will.It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death.The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.

  At last, however, it was sharpened.Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小壞蛋),you’ve played truant(逃課)!Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”

  “Alas!” thought I.“It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much.”

  The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind.I have thought of it since.Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself.“That man has an ax to grind.”

    Edgar felt quite 1 at the 2 of his first swim of the summer.     3 the sun shining down so strongly, the sea was certain to be      4 enough. He walked quickly along the seafront towards the steps      5 led on to the sands. He smiled 6 at the passers-by. He had just     smiled and 7 his 8 to an elderly lady      9 a man with a camera caught his arm and stopped him. Edgar heard a little clicking noise from     the camera.

                   

      "Your photo, sir, in wonderful color, in just one moment if you     please," said the man in one breath.

                   

      Then he took out the      10 and held it 11 his hand and was waving     it to Edgar. In a moment he handed it over, and Edgar saw the bright     blue of his shirt half 12 the picture.     "Seventy pence, sir," the man said.

                   

         "Seventy pence," Edgar repeated 13 ," For this?" He stared      14 the photo.

                   

    "They are usually 85, sir, but for a single object I make a cut-price     offer. It's the best price 15 you'll get here."

                   

         "You'll have to make a better offer," Edgar said. It was a good photo,     he thought, so bright and clear. His hat was high, and he was smiling     broadly at the old lady, 16 arm and handbag came into a lower corner.     He had no idea that he was being snapped. He thought he was really      17 good-looking fellow.

                   

      "That's as 18 as any art job that would      19 you pounds," said the cameraman. "It's better in a way because it's so      20 . Only 70 pence, sir."

                   

      "I've never paid so much      21 a snap in my life. It simply isn't 22     that kind of money. It's not as I need the thing. Look, I'll give     you 25. "

                   

      "No, I can't do that. Each of these snaps costs me 50p, so you     see … "

                   

      "Then I'll give you 50p and that's that."

                   

         "Let me see, then." The man suddenly took the photo out of Edgar's     hand." I can't 23 any more time with you. It's 70p      24 I keep it."

              

      "Keep it," Edgar said. He turned, looked out to sea, then walked     25 away.
