Once there were two brothers. Nolbu, the older one, was rich and greedy(贪婪的), Hyungbu, the younger brother, was poor and generous.

One day when Hyungbu's seven children were hungry, he went to ask his brother for rice to feed them. But when his sister－in－law(嫂子) saw Hyungbu, she did not want to give him any rice. Instead she hit him on the cheek with the rice spoon. Hyungbu was so hungry that he ate the little bit of rice on his face. Then he turned the other cheek and told her to hit him again. This time she hit him with a clean spoon.

On his way home, Hyungbu found a swallow whose leg was broken. He took care of it until it was well, and then let it fly away.

When spring came, the swallow brought Hyungbu a gourd seed(葫芦籽) to plant. In the fall, after he harvested the gourds, Hyungbu opened one of them. Gold coins poured out! He became a rich man.

Nolbu was jealous(嫉妒的) because his younger brother now had a big house with a beautiful garden. He wanted to know how Hyungbu became so rich. So Hyungbu told him exactly what had happened. On the way home from Hyungbu's house, Nolbu found a swallow. He broke its leg, and then cared for it. After it got better, he let it fly away. The following year, the swallow brought him a gourd seed, Nolbu did just what Hyungbu had done.

But, in autumn when Nolbu opened his gourd, there was no gold. Instead, dirty water poured out of it. The water flooded his house and farm. Suddenly he was a poor man with no food and no home.

1.Hyungbu led a difficult life, but he was a ________ man.

A. greedy　　 B. busy　　 C. kind　　 D. rich

2.Hyungbu's sister－in－law didn't want to ________.

A. hit Hyungbu　　 B. help Hyungbu

C. be jealous of Hyungbu　　 D. care for the swallow

3.A swallow is a kind of ________.

A. bird　　 B. cat　　 C. toy　　 D. bear

4.The swallow brought Hyungbu ________.

A. gold coins　　 B. a magic gourd seed

C. a big house with a beautiful garden　　 D. dirty water

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Hyungbu found a swallow on his way home, and it gave him a gourd seed.

B. The swallow brought Nolbu a gourd seed because Nolbu saved it.

C. The two brothers and their families lived happily together.
