Mr. Black was over fifty years old. He sometimes made some mistakes in his work, and he lost his work. So he had
41 time every day to do something. Then he often met his old friends under a big tree. They had drinks there and
42 anything they liked.
One day, some old men were sitting together again and talking about young people in this world. They all agreed that the old people were
43 than young people. Then one of the old
44 said that young men were stronger than old men.
45 of them agreed that this was true,
46 Mr. Black didn’t. He said, “No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man.” His friends were surprised
47 what he said.
“Well,” said Mr. Black, “Near my house there is a big stone. When I was a young man, I used
48 to move it, but I couldn’t because I was not
49 . I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still
50 . So, I am as strong as when I was young.”
