There was a stony inn nearby a stream. It was a two-storey. The host wa a diligent man. His wife was straightforward woman and often asked some quite straightforward questions. She cooked meal for her husband with a gas stove. But he had no stomach for supper. He strained his right arm by lifting a heavy bag just now. He strapped his arm with a cloth strap. The wife was stitching her stockings. When she sewed she made long stitches. She thought of a lot of sand things. Her husband put all their money in a company stock thus lost most of their money. Last week, their streamline car was stolen. The storage of food was not enough. The close-by store had no more food in stock, And now, the clouds threatened a stony storm. The woman couldn’t bear the stresses and strains of life. Tears streamed from her eyse. The host straightened his back. He must work out a strategy to deal with the coming storm. It would take great strength to resist the storm. First of all, he must strengthen the foundation of the inn. He stressed this to all his workers. Then he stooped to pick up his tool to work with them together. Even some strangers came to help them. Having finished work, the tired host sat down on a stool. Then he drank strawberry juice through a straw. After that, he asked all of the people to hide in the storage before the storm.
一条溪流边有个石头造的客栈。 它是个两层楼建筑。主人是个勤劳的人。他的妻子是个坦率的人，常常会问写很简单的问题。她用煤气炉给丈夫做了一顿饭。但他没有胃口吃。他刚才抬一个重包的时候扭伤了右臂。他用一根布带捆扎手臂。妻子正在缝合她的长统袜。当她干针线活时，她的针脚总是弄的很长。她想起了许多沮丧的事情。她的丈夫把他们所有的钱投入在一个公司的股票上，因此失去了他们大部分的钱。上周他们流线型的汽车被人偷了。食物的储藏不够。附近商店没有备有粮食。而现在乌云暗示了一场无情的暴风雨即将到来。这名妇女无法承受生活的压力和紧张。眼泪从他的眼睛里流出来。主人挺直了他的背。他必须想出策略来对付即将到来的风暴。抵抗暴风雨需要许多气力。首先他必须巩固客栈的地基。他对他所有的工人强调这一点。然后他弯腰拾起工具和他们一起干活。甚至一些陌生人也来帮助他们。完成工作之后，疲惫的主人坐在凳子上。然后他用吸管喝了一些草莓果汁。那之后，他要求所有人在暴风雨来临前躲进库房。
