Christmas was coming. Mr. Smith had no money to buy any gifts for his children. Mrs. Smith was ill and he spent much money on her medicine.

“We have only a cock(公鸡).” said Mrs. Smith. “You can sell(卖) it and buy some gifts for our two children.”

The next morning he put the cock into a box and walked to the town(镇). Two hours later, he was tired and wanted to have a rest. He sat down. “The air in the box must be close(不通风的). I can let the cock walk outside for ten minutes,” he thought. So he let the cock out. Later, he couldn’t find it.
