One day a lady who was riding in a coach saw a boy on the road without wearing any shoes and was seemingly very painful．She asked the coachman to take him up，and said she would pay for him.
When the coach reached the end of its journey，the kind lady found that the poor boy was going to the nearest sea port，trying to find a job as a sailor.
Twenty years afterwards，on the same road，a sea captain who was on a coach saw an old lady walking tiredly along，and he made the coachman pull up his horses．He put the old lady inside，saying，“I’ll pay for her.” Feeling thankful，the old lady said，“I am too poor to pay for a ride now.
You are such a kind man!”
The captain told her that he always felt sorry for those who had to walk as she had been doing；then he added，“I remember，twenty years ago，near this very place，I was a poor boy walking along the road，and a kind lady paid for me to ride.”
“Ah，” she said，“I am that lady! But things have changed with me since then.”
“Well，” said the captain，“I have made a fortune．I’m rich now and have come home to enjoy it. I will allow you twenty-five pounds a year as long as you live.” The old lady burst into tears，and gratefully accepted the sailor’s offer.
“Throw the bread upon the waters，and you will find it after many days.” Let me explain these words.
In the land of Egypt the river Nile overflows its banks once a year．When the fields on the riversides are covered with the water，people throw their seed on it，and the seed sinks down into the soft mud．When the water disappears，the seed takes root．After many days，then comes the harvest， and rich crops of grain are reaped (收获).
The lady had thrown her bread upon the waters and was rewarded (奖赏) with more bread．She had done a kind act to a poor boy； and，after many years，he in return was able to do her a great kindness.
1.Twenty years ago，when the lady was riding in a coach，she saw the boy _______.
