The Dogs Will Eat It

A landlord (地主) wanted to plant garlic (蒜) in his fields. He saw a group of peasant boys and asked them to come and do the work for him.

At supper time, he told the children to go into his house to eat, because he did not want the other farmers to see the bad food which he gave the boys. He said to the boys, "If you eat outside, the dogs may come and eat your food."

The next morning after work the boys went into the landlord's house again for breakfast. When they walked past the landlord's own room they looked in through the window. There they saw a big table with all kinds of good food on it. The landlord and his family were sitting around the table and eating happily. The children were very angry. They decided to plant his garlic upside down (头朝下).

After a few days, the garlic in other people's fields had come out, but in the landlord's fields nothing could be seen. He was very much worried and asked the boys why this was so.

"The garlic is afraid that the dogs will eat it"was the answer. 注意：根据上面文章的内容用英语回答。在下列 6 题中选答 5 题，不
