It was on a summer burning afternoon in Denver．The sky was blue and the wind was blowing slightly．A man from a big
36 with a new wagon （马车） and a beautiful pair of horses was
37 along a country road．He did not
38 much attention to
39 he was going．Pretty soon he realized that he was
40 , but he continued to drive,
41 to find his way or to meet someone who could tell him how to
42 to the town．
It was a long
43 road．For several hours he kept on driving．
44 it was almost dark, he saw in a cornfield a tall farmer plowing （犁） the land．He stopped his
45 team of horses near the fence and called out, "Hello, farmer"
"Hello, yourself" the farmer replied,
46 plowing．
"Where does this
47 go ?"
"I haven't ever seen it go anywhere．It always
48 right where it is " , said the farmer, without stopping his work．
"How far is it
49 the next town?" said the stranger, speaking a little louder．
"Don't know, never
50 it " replied the farmer．
By this time the city man was getting
51 , "What do you know? You're the biggest
52 I ever saw"
The farmer
53 the plow and turned and looked for a long time at the city man．Then he said scornfully （轻蔑地） , "Maybe I don't know much．
54 I am a fool．But
55 I'm not lost!"
