1.One spring,an innocent farmer in prison received a letter from his wife. It said,“Its time to grow potatoes, I have to dig the land by myself.”一年春天,一个无辜入狱的农夫收到妻子的信。信上说:“该种土豆了,我只好自己翻地。”

2.The farmer wanted to help his wife. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.农夫很想帮妻子。突然,他想到了一个办法。

3.He wrote a letter to his wife,“Dont dig the land. There is a pot of gold in the land.” The farmer gave the letter to the guard to send it for him. 农夫给妻子写了一封信:“别去翻地,地里藏着一罐金子。”农夫把信交给看守代寄。

4.The guard handed the letter to the king at once.看守急忙将这封信交给了国王。

5.The next day, more than ten soldiers dug the farmers land several times, but they didnt find anything.第二天,十多个士兵把农夫家的地翻了好几遍,但他们什么也没发现。

7.The farmer laughed after reading the letter. He wrote a letter to his wife,“So now you can grow potatoes. Potatoes are the gold for our poor man.”看完信之后,农夫笑了。他给妻子写了一封回信:“那么,现在你可以种土豆了。土豆可是咱穷人的金子啊!”
