In the evening, they all came back. Child number one went to his friend’s farm and bought two bales of hay (两捆干草) with the dollar. He brought the hay and threw it up into the air. But it couldn’t fill the room.

Child number two went to a shop and bought two pillows made with feathers(羽毛). He then opened them and threw the feathers all over the room. All the feathers settled down on the floor and the room was still not filled.

The third son took out a candle and said, “I bought a box of matches and a candle then I gave the rest to a charity.” He lit the candle and turned off the lights, and the room was filled.

The two men talked a lot. Every afternoon Hilary passed the time by describing to his roommate Kevin all the things he could see outside the window. He described there was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats and grand old trees graced the landscapes.
